Three winners get a fixed Bet Credits prize, and four, five or six winners share that tier’s cash pool. bet365 shows the prizes for each round in the game.

It is part of bet365’s free-to-play promotions for registered customers in the United Kingdom and Ireland. There is one entry per person for each round, and you can change your picks until the first race starts.

When is the bet365 6 Horses Challenge available?

bet365 runs the game on selected race days, usually a Saturday and the big festival days. Each round’s six races and prizes are listed in the game itself and on bet365’s 6 Horses Challenge news page.

bet365 sets the prizes for each round, so the top prize can change from one race day to the next. Check the prize list in the game before you pick.

Picks lock when the first of the six races starts.

What is the bet365 6 Horses Challenge?

6 Horses Challenge at bet365

The 6 Horses Challenge is a free prediction game in which you pick the winner of six selected races on one day of racing. Land three or more winners and you win a prize, and the prize grows with each extra winner.

The cash prizes for four, five and six winners are pools shared equally between everyone who reaches the same number of winners. It works like the 6 Scores Challenge that bet365 runs for football, only with horses.

How the prize tiers work. bet365 shows the amounts for each round in the game.

bet365’s rules say the prize shown for each tier is the maximum for a single winner, and you can win only one prize per round. The Bet Credits prize for three winners is a fixed amount, so everyone with three winners gets it in full. Prizes are credited once the result of the final race is known.

How the cash pools are shared

The four, five and six-winner pools are split equally between everyone who reaches that tier. If two players pick all six winners, each takes half of the jackpot pool. If ten players pick five, each takes a tenth of the five-winner pool. A sole winner in any tier takes that whole pool.

Bet Credit details

Bet Credits from three winners can be used as a stake on sports bets. Add a selection to the bet slip and tick the box to use them. Winnings from a Bet Credits bet are paid as withdrawable cash, but the credit stake is not returned. Bet Credits expire 7 days after they are added to your Bet Credits balance (7 days after the last addition if more are added in that time). They cannot be used on Tote or other pool bets, Colossus bets, Lotto markets, Fantasy Sports entries, Teasers, Super Boosts or Winnings Boosts, and bets placed with them do not qualify for Acca Boost.

Rules worth knowing before you pick

  • One entry per person per round. Entries from multiple accounts are void.
  • Non-runners: change the pick before the first race. If you do not, bet365 replaces it with the bet365 SP favourite (with joint favourites, the lowest racecard number).
  • Disqualified horses count as losers. Results go on the official result after the weigh-in, and Double Result concessions do not count.
  • Dead heats: every horse in a dead heat for first counts as a full winner.
  • Abandoned races: an abandoned race no longer counts, and bet365 amends the prizes for that round and shows them in the game. With one race lost, the six-from-six jackpot is off and the five-winner pool stands. If too many races are lost or moved to another day, the round is void.
  • Checks: winners of large prizes may be contacted, and verification can apply before you withdraw. Prizes go to the named account holder only.

How to pick your six horses

  • Read recent form and check how each runner handles the going on the day.
  • Look at the market. Favourites win often, but six favourites rarely all oblige, so the bigger pools reward an informed outsider.
  • Check for non-runners before the first race, so bet365 does not swap your pick for the SP favourite.
  • Use My Horses at bet365 to follow runners you rate.
