What Retrobet Tournaments Are
A tournament at Retrobet is a leaderboard race: every qualifying bet on the pokies, crash rounds or live tables named in the event adds to your score, and the players on top when the countdown ends share the pool. Our own races pay cash and free spins; provider-run network events add bet multipliers.

The Retrobet Tournament Line-Up
Retrobet Weekly Tournament
Our main race runs from Monday 00:00 UTC to Sunday 23:59 UTC with A$3,750 plus 2,500 free spins for the top 50. Anyone with at least one deposit is in automatically: each real-money pokie bet of A$1 or more scores 1 point per A$1. Places 1 to 15 take cash, 16 to 50 take spins on the prize slot named in the terms.
Retrobet Rookie Roller Tournament for Newcomers
Our daily race for new players, open only to accounts with no more than two deposits, runs from 07:00 UTC to 06:59 UTC with 1,000 free spins for 50 places, from 100 spins down to 10. The minimum bet is A$0.15, real and bonus money both count, and every A$1.50 wagered adds 1 point.
Retrobet Chicken Race Tournament
Chicken Road and Chicken Road 2 by InOut race daily from 09:00 UTC to 08:59 UTC. Every A$1.50 of real-money bets adds 1 victory point, and the 10 best players split 500 free spins in Chicken Road 2, from 150 for first to 5 for tenth. One deposit is required; the spins carry 10x wagering.
Retrobet VIP Progressive Cup
The Progressive VIP Tournament is the one race in the current line-up that needs the OPT-IN button, over the week shown on its page. Only real-money bets of A$2.25 or more with no active bonus count, across pokies, crash games, game shows and live tables. The pool is progressive, fed by 0.3% of every qualifying bet; the top 15 by wins share it, from 27% for first down to 1.2% for fifteenth; wagering is set out in the tournament terms.
Retrobet Provider Network Events
Provider-run network events pool prizes across every casino carrying them:
- Drops & Wins 2026 by Pragmatic Play: 4 March 2026 to 3 March 2027, an expected A$45,000,000 network-wide across daily tournaments and prize drops; each daily tournament pays A$36,000 over 500 wager-free places, and one real-money spin of A$0.27 or more enters you.
- Big Sunday Blast (Playson and Booongo): every Sunday until 7 March 2027, A$37,500 for 150 winners, highest multipliers win.
- Lucky Boom Drops (Playson and Booongo): 21 September 2026 to 7 February 2027, A$900,000 in total, A$45,000 per drop.
- Spinergy Run (Formula Spin): monthly 10-day stages through December 2026, A$75,000 per stage, 100 places, 1 point per A$0.30 bet.
- Million Drops by BGaming runs in monthly stages all year, and shorter provider events come and go; the card shows what is live.
How to Join a Retrobet Tournament
- Open an account with email or Google and confirm you are 18+; our Retrobet login guide covers it.
- Deposit if the race asks for it (cards from A$30, or crypto; see Retrobet payments): the Weekly and Chicken Race need at least one; the Rookie Roller admits players with no more than two.
- Open Tournaments from the side menu, footer or phone shortcut, filter by Status (All, Active, Coming soon, Ended) and press SHOW MORE on a card for its pool, minimum bet, strategy, games and terms.
- If participation is automatic, play a listed game at or above the minimum bet; if the page asks you to confirm, press OPT-IN first. Then follow the Leaderboard block, or the Prizes tab inside a network game (Formula Spin adds a Table tab).
How Retrobet Tournament Scoring Works
The STRATEGY tile tells you what counts:
- Bets or Points: stake-based, 1 point per A$1 (Weekly Tournament), per A$1.50 (Rookie Roller, Chicken Race) or per A$0.30 (Spinergy Run).
- Multipliers: the win multiplier counts, not the stake; Drops & Wins gives 1 point per x1 of a winning multiplier.
- Wins: the VIP Progressive Cup ranks players by wins.
Retrobet Tournament Prizes and Wagering
- Cash: Weekly Tournament places 1 to 15 at x5 (top three) and x20 (places 4 to 15); VIP Progressive Cup cash prizes per its terms.
- Free spins: Weekly places 16 to 50 at x30; Rookie Roller at 30x with 3 days to claim and 7 to wager; Chicken Race at 10x in Chicken Road 2 at A$1.50 a spin.
- Network prizes: Drops & Wins multipliers, free spins and instant bonuses carry no wagering, expire in 7 days and are capped at the A$1 bet level.
Prizes are credited after an event closes, as its terms describe.
Retrobet Tournament Rules That Matter
- Players must be 18+, with one account per person, household, address, device and IP.
- Only real-money bets count unless the event says otherwise: the Rookie Roller counts bonus money; the VIP Progressive Cup and Drops & Wins need no active bonus.
- Our General and Bonus Terms apply; we, and the providers behind network events, can change or cancel a promo at any time.
Retrobet Tournaments on Your Phone
On a phone, use the round Tournaments shortcut at the top of our home page or the Tournaments entry in the side menu, since the bottom bar has no tab for it. The Retrobet app, our installable web app, opens the same pages full screen.
Retrobet Welcome Offer: Bankroll for Your First Race
Our welcome package for Australian players stacks up to A$20,000 of bonus money and 500 free spins across four deposits of A$30 or more, using the codes RISETOP, POWERUP, HOPTOIT and CATCHME (100%, 100%, 50% and 50%, with 100, 100, 100 and 200 spins). Bonus and spin winnings need 40x wagering within 7 days; the full terms are on our Retrobet promotions page.
The reloads and cashback that follow are described there too.
Retrobet Tournaments and Responsible Play
Tournaments reward betting volume, so a budget matters. Retrobet is 18+ only; treat every race as entertainment, not income. Set a deposit cap in the Limits section before you chase a leaderboard, and let a place go rather than overspend. If a race starts to feel like a chase, the Gambling Help Online counsellors are on 1800 858 858 at any hour, free of charge and in confidence.
