Four contest winners finished the contest with 20–0 records. Impressive?

Las Vegas sports betting operator Circa Sports has paid its professional football contest winners a total of $15.2m for the 2023/2024 season, the highest payout on record.

Four Circa Survivor winners won the largest prize pot of nearly $9.3m. Each winner finished 20–0 and walked away with $2.3m in prizes.

During the Circa Million V, Saint31 walked away with a handmade Circa Sports blue jacket and a first-place prize of $1m for the full season.

Circa Sports CEO Derek Stevens took a moment to discuss the company’s motivation for creating prize options that would appeal to players.

He commented, “When we launched these contests, we knew the prize needed to be one of the most coveted in all of sports betting.

“Every year we’ve upped the ante, and this was the biggest level-up of all. Congratulations to all the winners and we look forward to seeing what the 2024/2025 season brings.” 

The D Las Vegas will host a final check presentation on January 12. During the event, the Circa Sports team and Stevens will recognize seasonal contest winners, including Circa Survivor, Circa Million V full season and Circa Million V fourth quarter winners.

Circa Sports takes a customer-first approach and offers players physical betting locations at Circa Resort & Casino’s sportsbook. Players can get in on the action in person at three southern Nevada destinations, along with a sportsbook at Legends Bay Casino and American Place.

Circa Sports offers mobile betting options in Nevada, Colorado, Iowa and Illinois. Through a partnership with Cumberland Run, the company plans to soon launch in Kentucky.
