Spin and Go events also provide players with the chance to place on Winter Series leaderboards. If you manage to place in the Top 50, you’ll also be looking at landing yourself in one of the many amazing Winter Series events that are on offer.

There are two separate leaderboards for $4 Spin and Gos and $40 Spin and Gos. Only the first 10 events of each type that you enter every day will count towards your place on the leaderboards. Prizes range from tickets into $11 events up to $215 events.

This structure is great because it gives players the option to choose which events they enter. For example, if you win a $22 ticket, you can play in any $22 event – and, there are plenty of choose from!
