Every game has its own night now. Three times a week, Daily Gaming runs a free tournament with a real prize: one for Madden, one for College Football and one for NBA 2K. No entry fee. Sign up in the app, be on your console at 9, and play your way through the bracket.
How to join
- Get the app on iPhone or Android, and create your account.
- In the app, open Lobby → Main Stage and pick your game. This week's tournament is the card under Game of the Week. Tap it, then Join free. All three nights are also listed in Lobby → Events.
- Be on your console a few minutes before 9 PM ET. The app sends you a notification when round 1 begins.
Bring a friend. New accounts can join the same day they sign up, so you can tell a friend at 8 and play them at 9. Play all three nights if you want: each one is its own tournament.
How the night works
At 9 PM ET the bracket is set: a single-elimination tournament, randomly seeded. If the bracket isn't full, some players get a first-round bye. Every match plays exactly like a normal Daily Gaming match:
- Add your opponent on your console and start a 1v1 game.
- Snap the lobby screen in the app and confirm ready. Both players have 10 minutes, and a player who doesn't show forfeits.
- Play, then snap the final score. Winners move on automatically, and the next round appears in the app.
A full 8-player bracket is three rounds and usually wraps up in two to two and a half hours. If fewer than 4 players have joined by 9 PM, that week's tournament is cancelled, and next week's opens right away.
The prize
Each night, the winner takes $17.50 and the runner-up $7.50. Prizes are paid as Daily Gaming reward coins (1,000 coins = $1.00), which you can redeem for USDC in your in-app wallet. Everything is decided by the bracket: win your matches, take the prize. The full official rules are in each event in the app.
Who can play
Anyone 18+ with a Daily Gaming account in an eligible US state. One account per person: playing on multiple accounts gets you disqualified and banned.
Never miss one
Every Daily Gaming player gets an email when the next tournament opens, and a reminder at 3 PM on the day. New to matches? Read how a match works, step by step. On the nights in between, there's Game of the Week and Daily Challenges against the CPU, and free or paid head-to-head matches any time.
