Run the league. We'll put the prize up, every month.
Sponsor one of your private leagues and Bantasy funds a cash prize for it every single month of the season, not once at the end. Your mates join free, play free and can win. The amount is the row of the table on the right for the people in the league and the paid plans behind it, never a pool, and it is published before anyone plays.
A winner every month. Nine or ten of them across a season, one after another. Then, on top of all of those, one season champion's prize worth 2 times a monthly one.
Membership covers leagues up to 100 members, and 1 prize league: Bantasy puts the monthly prize on a league you host. You can add another prize league any time.
Bantasy puts the prize up, and the amount is whichever is lower: how many of you are playing in the league, or how many of you hold a qualifying individual membership; eligible legacy grants can count; passes and organisation seats do not.
| Players in your league | Mates on a paid plan | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 3 to 5 | 3 to 5 | A$20 |
| 6 to 9 | 6 to 9 | A$40 |
| 10 to 14 | 10 to 14 | A$60 |
| 15 to 24 | 15 to 24 | A$100 |
For an ongoing private prize, three of you need qualifying individual memberships, including the host. At least one must meet the funded-plan rule; eligible paid, founding and comped plans can count. Eligible legacy grants can count towards the three; a first free Members comp, seven-day pass or organisation seat does not. Players also need to meet the activity rules. An eligible league may get its first funded cycle at the lowest prize band once the host qualifies and three of you are playing. This promotion is once only, subject to admission and available funding. Check your league's prize details for its current eligibility and funded amount.
The players count stops at 20, so a league on plain Membership never reads past the 15 to 24 row.
What the table is not: there is no pool and no entry fee. Your mates join free, nobody puts money in, and every prize on it is put up by Bantasy from this published table, never a share of what anyone pays us.
Three steps, no fine print you have to hunt for.
- 01
Start a league
Creating a private league is free for everyone. Name it, put the join code in the group chat, and your mates are in. They join free, play free and can win, and you can win it yourself as well.
- 02
Get three of you playing, with you on a plan
Your first month is on us. Once 3 of your members are playing, counting you, and you are on a plan, Bantasy puts up the lowest row of the table for that month. After that a league carries a prize for a month once three of its members are on a plan, counting you, and at least one of them is on a paid Membership, and the prize grows with how many of you play and how many of you are on a paid plan. An existing complimentary Members-comp grant, or a 7-day pass, counts you as a player in the table and never as a mate on a plan. Until a league qualifies it runs as normal, and we say plainly that it is not carrying a prize yet.
- 03
The prize lands at month end
At the end of every month the highest scorer among the members who played takes that month's prize, paid as cash by bank transfer. Then a new month starts, a new prize goes on the league, and everybody is level again.
Jake won October's A$20. With three more mates on a paid plan, November pays A$40.
Room for 250, and the whole room counts.
Room for 250 players for the season, A$149. The host buys it on top of Membership. Buy the room on its own and you get the room, not the Members comps.
The 250 room increases capacity. Bantasy puts the prize up. Once the league qualifies for a funded prize, its amount follows the players in your league, up to 250. Buying the room does not remove the membership, activity or funding conditions for prize activation. The prize is never a share of fees.
| Players in your league | Prize |
|---|---|
| 3 to 5 | A$10 |
| 6 to 9 | A$20 |
| 10 to 14 | A$30 |
| 15 to 24 | A$50 |
| 25 to 49 | A$100 |
| 50 or more | A$150 |
What the table is not: there is no pool and no entry fee. Your mates join free, nobody puts money in, and every prize on it is put up by Bantasy from this published table, never a share of what anyone pays us.
A club, pub, workplace or society organiser on the 250 room shares one code to join the league. Mates can join and play free. Ongoing prizes have separate qualifying-membership and activity conditions. The organiser takes no commission.
A prize every month, then a champion at the end.
Sponsoring a league is not one prize you wait all year for. It is a run of them.
- Every month
A monthly winner
Each calendar month has its own prize on it, taken from the table published for your league. Whoever scores most that month among the members who played takes it. The next month starts fresh with a new prize, and everybody is level again.
- All season
The season table keeps running underneath
Your league's overall ladder never resets. Winning a month is worth cash on its own, and it is also points on the table that decides the season. Somebody can win two months and still be caught by the member who was steady all year.
- At the end
The champion's prize: 2 times a monthly one
When the season finishes, the top of that season table takes one more prize, worth 2times the league's monthly prize. To be in the running for it you have to have played at least 50% of your league's months: it is a prize for turning up all year, not for a hot April.
Who a prize is split between is the organiser's call.
When you create a league you choose how its prize divides across finishing spots, in the same step every Bantasy competition has always had. Leave it alone and the top scorer takes the lot. Set it to a top three and the same percentages divide every monthly prize and the season champion's prize as well. Your league states its own rule on its own page, in a sentence, so nobody has to work out what second place is worth.
It is decided once, when the league is created, and it is on screen before anyone plays a gameweek.
Everything that decides whether a month pays.
All of it is in the prize rules too. It is here because nobody should learn a rule at the moment it costs them.
- The amount is the row of the published table. Each month settles at the row your league clears on both counts: the mates playing, and the mates on a paid plan. It is never a pool and never a share of what anyone pays us, and no amount of spending moves it: the second column counts people on a plan, one each, never what anyone spends. That promise has its own page.
- A prize needs a league that actually plays. At least 60% of the members counted at the start of the month have to have kept their squad set and made a move that month, and the table starts at three of you playing. If not, nothing is paid for that month and the league carries on into the next one.
- The season champion's prize has the same conditions. It is 2times the row your league reaches across the season, it is paid once, at the end, and it needs the same qualifying members underneath it. A league that never had a paying month has no champion's prize.
- We run a limited number each month. Bantasy funds every prize out of its own pocket, so only so many leagues can carry one in a month. If we are at capacity your league is queued and starts the following month, and the app tells you that rather than leaving you guessing.
- Mates who join late start next month. Someone who joins after a month has begun plays and ranks straight away, and counts towards the prize from the following month.
- Cash prizes depend on where you are. They are available to eligible players 18 and over in supported regions, and some regions play glory only. Check the eligibility page before you count on one.
What your mates pay.
Nothing. An invitee to a sponsored league joins free, plays free, needs no plan and no card, and is eligible for the prize on exactly the same terms as you. No purchase necessary to play.
