SportyBet is launching its first-ever Crash Games World Cup (CGWC) on October 14, 2026 — 21 days of competition with nearly R1.7 million in prizes up for grabs across Africa and Mexico.

South African players can rep Team Benni (Benni McCarthy) or Team Kolbe (Cheslin Kolbe), alongside international ambassadors DJ Khaled, Burna Boy, Yan Diomande, and Asisat Oshoala. Pick your ambassador, and that choice is locked in for the full 21 days.

**How it works:** Play any eligible Crash Game, earn XP from qualifying cashouts, and climb the leaderboard. Your cashout multiplier determines your XP — a 2x earns 20 XP, a 10x earns 100 XP. Losing rounds earn nothing.

**The prizes:** 5,000 players will win, with highlights including:

- **1st place:** R85,000 cash + a championship ring worth ~R25,500 + signed T-shirt

- **2nd–3rd:** R42,500 cash + signed T-shirt

- **4th–10th:** R17,000 cash + signed T-shirt

- **11th–100th:** Signed T-shirts

- **101st–500th:** R850 in Free Bets

- **501st–1,000th:** R340 in Free Bets

- **1,001st–5,000th:** R170 in Free Bets

You can join anytime during the 21 days, but past activity won't count. The competition kicks off October 14, 2026.
