All references to time of day refer to Las Vegas, NV time. All specific dates are subject to change once the NFL weekly schedule is released, in which case these Rules will be updated for any such changes.
- There is a $1,000 fee per entry. All entry fees are non-refundable, unless the Contest is canceled by Circa | Sports. Allowable methods of payment include cash, Golden Gate Hotel & Casino or the D Las Vegas gaming chips, and credit cards. Entries purchased via credit card will be subject to a credit card processing fee.
- All entrants and proxies must be at least 21 years of age to participate. Contestants must provide valid government picture identification prior to entry. All submitted entries are subject to potential 3rd party verification. All entrants must also be a current member of 'Club One™'. The Club One card is free and available at the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino/the D Las Vegas Players' Clubs or sportsbooks.
- Contestants may purchase a maximum of three (3) entries per person. Purchasing more than three (3) entries will result in disqualification from the Contest without any refund. Contestants who have multiple entries earning prizes will be paid for each entry's corresponding prize dollar amount.
- Circa | Sports™ reserves the right to reject any submitted alias for any reason at any time. If Circa | Sports decides to change an alias after the sign-up process is completed, Circa | Sports will make a reasonable effort to contact the entrant and give an opportunity to provide an acceptable alias. In the event no acceptable alias can be provided, the Contest ID number will be the official name of the entry, and that ID number will be displayed in all official standings and/or prize documents.
- Payment of entry fees for this Contest, along with the registration form, will be accepted at the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino and the D Las Vegas beginning at 8:00 AM on March 6, 2020, and will be accepted until 2:00 PM on the Saturday prior to the first Sunday of NFL games.
- The Contest is won by accruing as many points as possible, based on five (5) weekly pro football selections against a static point spread. Contestants will be awarded one (1) point for each correct selection, one half (.5) point for each push, and zero (0) points for each incorrect selection.
- Contest point spreads will be available at approximately 10:00 AM on each Thursday during the Contest period. Weekly selections must be submitted by 3:00 PM on each Saturday during the duration of the Contest. Attempts to make selections after this deadline will not be accepted. In the event a Contestant is unable to submit their selections before the weekly deadline, he/she will be awarded zero (0) points for that week. Missing a deadline in no way prevents a contestant from submitting selections in subsequent weeks during the Contest.
- Contestants who would like to select games that occur prior to the selection deadline (for example, Thursday Night Football) must submit all five (5) of their selections prior to kickoff of the earliest game they are selecting that week. Partial submissions will not be accepted.
- Each contestant may authorize up to three (3) proxies to submit their weekly selections. Proxies must be registered in person and must satisfy the same ID requirements under Rule 2. Circa | Sports does not officially endorse or recommend any proxy or proxy service and shall not be involved in any proxy agreement under any circumstance. Furthermore, all contestants assume sole liability of submitting their weekly selections, whether a proxy is registered or not. Circa | Sports will under no circumstance mediate between any contestant and any proxy.
- Contestants and proxies can submit weekly selections at any Circa | Sports location during each selection period (10:00 AM Thursday – 3:00 PM Saturday). Selections may be made via a Circa | Sports betting window (requires use of the Circa | Sports Contest card), Circa | Sports kiosks (requires use of the Circa | Sports Contest card), or the Circa | Sports mobile app (by logging onto the Circa | Sports mobile app and entering their Circa | Sports Contest card ID and password). Contestants/proxies must be within the geographic boundary of the State of Nevada to make mobile selections via the Circa | Sports mobile app. Circa | Sports is not responsible for any technical difficulties, malfunctions or any other unforeseen issues regarding use of the Circa | Sports mobile app platform. Technical malfunctions of the Circa | Sports mobile app will not change the selection deadline under any circumstances.
- By signing a Contest registration form, a contestant designates themselves as an 'Official Contestant' and the only one approved to collect any prize of any kind. Proxies are not eligible to collect any prize or monies for a contestant.
- Circa | Sports will provide each entrant with a receipt once a selection has been made. Selection receipts at Circa | Sports kiosks and betting windows will be a physical ticket reflecting the selections made, and such receipts represent the official entry of record for the contestant's weekly selections. Receipts on the Circa | Sports mobile app will be in the form of a digital confirmation screen reflecting selections made, and such receipts represent the official entry of record for the contestant's weekly selections. Contestants are encouraged to take a screenshot of the confirmation screen when it appears just after selections are submitted. No other documents provided by Circa | Sports shall be considered official record of weekly selections.
- Contestants may only submit weekly selections once per week per Contest entry, unless a one-time exception is granted by Circa | Sports management in its sole and absolute discretion. Contestants/proxies cannot request voids or changes to weekly selections after the 3:00 PM Saturday deadline or after any of the selected games have begun. Weekly Contest selections can only be voided at either the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino or the D Las Vegas sportsbooks with the approval of Circa | Sports management in its sole and absolute discretion.
- Prize Structure:
- The prize pool will consist of a guaranteed $3 million in total. The prize pool will be funded with Contest entry fees and supplemented by Circa | Sports should the number of entries be less than 3,000. All prize payouts will be made in cash, check, casino chips, free slot play, table games promo chips, or a combination thereof at the winner's election.
- Should the number of entries total more than 3,000, all additional entry fees will be split equally between each of the four 'Quarter MVP' 1st Place prizes.
- Tiebreaking rules will only be applied to determine the overall season-long 1st Place winner. In the event of a tie for 1st Place, the winner will be determined based on the contestant that accumulated the most Contest points during the final five (5) weeks of the regular season. If total points accumulated during the final five (5) weeks are equal, then the tiebreaker will revert to the contestant that has accumulated the most contest points during Weeks 9-12. If total points accumulated during Weeks 9-12 are equal, then the tiebreaker will revert to the contestant that has accumulated the most Contest points during Weeks 5-8. If total points accumulated during Weeks 5-8 are equal, then the tiebreaker will revert to the contestant that has accumulated the most Contest points during Weeks 1-4. In the event of a tie after application of all tiebreakers, multiple 1st Place winners will be declared, and the aggregate prize money will be split equally amongst the number of contestants tied for 1st Place.
- All ties for finishing positions other than 1st Place will be split evenly among all contestants in the tie. (For example, if two contestants are tied for 2nd Place, the prizes for 2nd and 3rd place will be added together and split evenly. Official finishing position for these two contestants would be 'T-2nd', and the next finisher in this situation would finish 4th.)

Circa Sports Million & Circa Survivor
Thinking about visiting us in Vegas to sign up for our #CircaSportsMillion and #CircaSurvivor football contests?
You better watch this announcement from @MikePalmCirca and @DerekJStevens … pic.twitter.com/HHrWkG1Lt1
The Circa Sports Million made a super successful debut in 2019 with the launch of two new sportsbooks at the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino and The D downtown. The Circa Million allows entrants to make five NFL picks on a weekly basis throughout the regular season. But the best features created by Derek Stevens and his team are the 100 percent payback based on a $1,000 entry fee — with a guaranteed prize pool doubled from $1.5 to $3 million in 2020 ($1 million going to the winner) and four quarterly “MVP” bonuses worth $150,000 or more (previously $50,000) — plus a new $100,000 Booby Prize to the last-place finisher.
Circa Sportsbook Football Contest 2020
Sign-ups kicked off on March 6th at the Golden Gate and The D for this contest along with the new Circa Survivor, which is an exciting high-stakes, winner-take-all pool worth $1 million guaranteed and potentially $2 million if you can go a perfect 18-0. You can enter the Circa Sports Million up to three times, Circa Survivor five times and need to sign up in person but can use a proxy to submit picks.
