Pokerbet is paying R5.5 million if you correctly rank every 2026/27 Premier League club from 1st to 20th. You submit one full-table prediction per game week, back it with a R50 cash bet at odds of 1.30 or better, and the six weekly draws are settled after the real May 2027 table is final. Week 4 alone is worth R2.5 million.
Every August, the same pub argument happens: who finishes where. Pokerbet has turned the argument into a R5.5 million contest. You aren't picking weekly scores. You're picking the whole finishing order, and you're locking it in during the first six weeks of the season while the transfer market is still settling.
How the six draws work
Each of the six qualifying weeks is its own separate draw with its own prize. Enter week 1 correctly and you're in the R1 million pot. Skip that and enter week 4 correctly instead, and you're chasing R2.5 million. Enter more than one week and you hold separate independent tickets. Nothing carries over. Nothing combines.
Prize breakdown by game week
| Game week | Dates | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 21 to 24 August | R1,000,000 |
| 2 | 28 to 31 August | R500,000 |
| 3 | 4 to 6 September | R500,000 |
| 4 | 12 to 15 September | R2,500,000 |
| 5 | 18 to 20 September | R500,000 |
| 6 | 10 to 11 October | R500,000 |
All six draws take place after the 2026/27 season finishes, not after each game week. Your August ranking is judged against the real May 2027 table. Get it exactly right and you win the pot for that week. Nothing else.
How to enter each game week
You need two things done before 13:00 SAST on the first official match day of that week:
- Place a cash bet of R50 or more on a Premier League market at minimum odds of 1.30
- Submit one predictor form ranking all 20 clubs from 1st to 20th
One entry per customer per week. Maximum six entries for the whole promotion. Qualify in week 2 only, you sit in the R500,000 week 2 draw. Qualify in weeks 2 and 4, you hold two independent tickets. Losing week 4 doesn't cost you week 2.
What bets actually count
- Minimum stake R50 cash
- Minimum odds 1.30
- Only Premier League markets
- Free bets and sports bonuses do not count
- Cashed-out bets do not count
- Cancelled, void, duplicate or system bets do not count
- The bet must be placed by 13:00 SAST on the first match day of that game week
Extra spot prizes during the season
On top of the six big draws, Pokerbet will drop unannounced spot prizes throughout the season. These can be free bets, bonuses, cash or physical prizes. You don't enter separately. The same qualifying wager and predictor form for that game week covers you. Max winnings on any free-bet spot prize is R500. Bonus spot prizes have their own R2,000 cap and seven-day expiry in some cases.
Who can take part
Open to new and existing eligible Pokerbet customers who are 18 or older, South African citizens or permanent residents, with a verified account (automatic verification at sign-up, or approved FICA documents if that check fails).
New account? Time the entry
If you're just opening an account, register with the Pokerbet promo code BETS. The standard welcome package (first-deposit match plus an extra free bet) gives you funds to cover the qualifying R50 stake without dipping into your own bankroll for every week you want to enter.
Is it worth it?
The correct 1-to-20 finish is genuinely hard. The nearest reference points are lottery-tier probabilities. What makes this different from a lottery is that you're already betting R50 at 1.30+ on a Premier League market you were going to look at anyway. If the Predictor entry costs you nothing on top of that bet, it's a rounding error to the bankroll and a real ticket to R5.5 million. If it forces you to place a market you don't like, skip it.
