CrownGold Casino runs scheduled tournaments for Australian players across pokies, table games and live dealer tables, with prize pools shown in AUD and leaderboards you can follow from your phone. This page covers what is running now, what is coming up, how points are earned, how prizes are paid and exactly what you need to do to take part. Every event is open to verified players aged 18 and over.
If you are new to the format, scan the calendar below for an event marked open or starting soon, read the qualifying games and bet limits, then opt in before you start playing. Full conditions for each tournament sit in the terms and conditions, and the event card is the final word on dates, prize pools and eligibility.
The calendar below lists events in Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) as applicable. Status labels tell you at a glance whether an event is open for opt-in, about to start or already completed. Completed events stay listed so you can review past leaderboards and prize splits.

Dates and prize pools are reviewed regularly, but always confirm the details on the individual event card before you opt in.
Our recurring pokies tournaments are the easiest entry point. Points are usually awarded per qualifying spin or per win, depending on the event, and only spins on the listed titles count. Weekly leaderboards reset every Monday at 00:00 AEST/AEDT, with results published shortly after the close of play. Winners are notified in their account and by email, and prizes land in the account without a manual claim.
Blackjack, roulette and baccarat events run alongside the pokies schedule, including live dealer formats streamed from real tables. Some are free to enter and ranked on points, while others carry a small buy-in that feeds the prize pool. Ranking methods vary by table: blackjack events often reward winning hands, roulette and baccarat events tend to run on turnover or multiplier points. Read the table-specific rules before you sit down, as bet minimums and maximums can differ from the main casino limits.
Holiday weekends, major sporting fixtures and CrownGold anniversaries bring larger prize pools and shorter, sharper schedules. These events may have restricted eligibility, a capped number of entrants or a higher minimum bet, and some run for a single evening. Dates are locked in on the calendar, so check the event card early and opt in before the field fills.
The model is straightforward: opt in, play the qualifying games during the event window, collect points and finish as high on the leaderboard as you can before time runs out.
Points are earned according to the rules of each tournament — typically per qualifying spin, per winning bet or through a multiplier applied to certain bet types. Where two players finish level, ties are broken by the time the points were earned, with the earlier achievement taking the higher place, unless the event rules state otherwise. Leaderboards refresh in near real time, though short delays can occur during peak periods. Your position is visible on the event page whenever you are logged in.
Many CrownGold tournaments are free to enter, and the only requirement is a funded account and a manual opt-in. Others use a buy-in that is deducted from your AUD balance when you confirm entry and added to the prize pool. Where a tournament has a minimum deposit or qualifying bet requirement, it is stated on the event card. Opt-in is never automatic — if you have not pressed the entry button, your play will not count towards the leaderboard.
Only the games listed for each tournament contribute points. Play on excluded titles, or bets below the stated minimum, will not appear on the leaderboard. Maximum bet limits apply to keep things fair; exceeding them can void points for that round or lead to disqualification. Check whether your favourite pokies title or table is included before you start, and keep your bet size within the published range for the whole event.
Prize pools are funded by the operator, by player buy-ins or a combination of both, and the split between places is confirmed before the event opens. Prizes may be paid as cash, bonus funds or free spins — the event card will tell you which, and each type carries different conditions.
All CrownGold tournament prize pools and payouts are displayed in Australian dollars. Prizes are credited after the leaderboard is verified, generally within 24 to 72 hours of the event closing. A typical free-entry pokies tournament might split a $5,000 pool as $2,000 for first, $1,200 for second, $700 for third, with the remainder spread across places four to twenty. Buy-in events usually pay a higher proportion to the top three places.
Cash prizes are withdrawable once credited, subject to standard account verification. Bonus funds and free spins usually carry a wagering requirement, an expiry date and a maximum conversion cap before any winnings can be withdrawn. Read the specific conditions attached to your prize type, then head to the cashier to review the payment methods available to Australian players, along with processing times and any minimum withdrawal amounts.
If you cannot see an opt-in button, the event may not have opened yet, you may already be registered, or your account may not yet be verified. Log out and back in, clear your browser cache, and confirm that the event is marked open. If the button is still missing, contact support before the tournament starts.
Tournaments are a form of entertainment. No strategy guarantees a profit or a top finish.
The tournaments page works in mobile browsers, so you can opt in, play qualifying games and check your rank on the same device. Leaderboards refresh automatically, and where notifications are enabled you will receive alerts when an event opens or when you move into a prize position. A stable connection matters during live dealer events — a dropped stream can cost you a hand, so play on Wi-Fi or a strong mobile signal.
CrownGold Casino is for players aged 18 and over. Deposit limits, session timeouts, cool-off periods and self-exclusion are available in your account settings, and you can set them before or during a tournament. Decide on a tournament budget in advance and stop when you reach it. If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, free and confidential support is available through Gambling Help Online and other Australian support services.
Many events are free to enter with a verified account and a manual opt-in. Others have a buy-in that is added to the prize pool. The entry type is shown on every event card.
Usually within 24 to 72 hours of the event closing, once the leaderboard has been verified. Bonus funds and free spins may carry wagering requirements before withdrawal.
Only the games listed on the event card. Bets on excluded titles, or outside the stated minimum and maximum bet range, do not earn points.
All schedules are shown in AEST or AEDT, depending on the time of year, so Australian players see start and end times in local eastern time.
Where players finish on the same points, the player who reached that total first is ranked higher, unless the event rules specify a different tie-breaker.
Buy-ins are returned to your AUD balance and any prizes are voided. CrownGold Casino will post a notice on the event page and may reschedule the tournament.
Cash prizes can be withdrawn once your account is verified. Bonus prizes must meet their wagering requirement first, and any maximum conversion cap applies.
