Circa Sports has announced that over $20.2m was awarded by the operator to winners of the Circa Survivor and Circa Million VI professional football contests. The winnings included the largest Circa Survivor pool to ever be recorded at nearly $14.3m.
"Betting history was made this week. This season of the Circa Sports contests was our biggest one yet and a true fight to the finish," Circa Sports CEO Derek Stevens said.
"Each year, the best part of Circa Survivor and Circa Million is the bond we form with the contestants, and we love their commitment and enthusiasm for every step of the season. Congratulations to all the winners."
Circa Survivor 2024-2025 included a no-rake payout of $10m guaranteed for the last entry standing, with additional funds added because the contest’s entry limit was exceeded.
The contest consisted of up to 20 legs throughout the year, one for every week of the NFL regular season plus two special weeks for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Each week, participants had to choose a team to win straight up, but the player could not pick the same team again for the remainder of the season.

Circa Million VI featured 126 different ways to win for entrants throughout the season with $6m in total prizes. First place overall was awarded $1m and a Circa Sports blue jacket while the remaining prize pool was allocated amongst places two through 100, the quarterly top five and “booby prize” winners.
Each player made five picks against the spread each week, with one point awarded for each correct selection and a half-point for each push.
The winners of the contests were reported to have resided all across North America, including Las Vegas, New York and Canada.
