The Three Qualifying Tournaments
| Tournament | Games | Min qualifying bet | Places paid | Coins for 1st |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Urus Weekly Race | All casino pokies | A$0.45 | Top 30 | 1,000 |
| Urus Monthly Race | All casino pokies | A$0.75 | Top 50 | 3,000 |
| Urus Monthly Play-Off | Selected sports and virtuals | A$3.00 | Top 50 | 3,000 |
Weekly Race coins: 1,000 for 1st, 800 for 2nd and 600 for 3rd, stepping down to 250 for 10th. Places 11 to 20 get 200 each, and places 21 to 30 get 100 each. That’s 8,200 coins in total.
Monthly Race and Monthly Play-Off coins: both pay the same scale. It’s 3,000 for 1st, 2,750 for 2nd and 2,500 for 3rd, stepping down to 800 for 10th. Places 11 to 20 get 650, places 21 to 35 get 400, and places 36 to 50 get 200. That’s 34,300 coins per event.
Which sports count in the Play-Off
Only bets on these sports count: football, tennis, basketball, table tennis, ice hockey, American football, baseball and virtuals. That leaves out some Australian favourites. AFL, NRL, cricket and horse racing aren’t on the list, so bets on them won’t help your Play-Off position.
Stage II: The Final
Once Stage I closes, the top 500 coin holders are invited to the Final Stage. Entry can’t be transferred. Your Urus Coins convert into points that set your starting position, and you keep earning points until the final ends.
Players who joined late can ask for Late Entry through customer support or their VIP account manager. Late entrants are added to the standings without displacing anyone who qualified.
The player in first place at the end wins a Lamborghini Urus or a cash equivalent, as decided by Spinsy. The terms add that prizes for the top 5 or top 10 may also be awarded, depending on participation.
Worked Example
You play pokies most weeks at stakes above A$0.75 and finish
- 15th in the Weekly Race in four separate weeks: 4 × 200 = 800 coins
- 25th in one Monthly Race: 400 coins
- 12th in one Monthly Play-Off: 650 coins
- Total: 1,850 Urus Coins from Stage I
The terms don’t publish the coin total needed to make the top 500, so there’s no way to know in advance whether that would be enough. Coins only go to ranked finishers, so a month of steady play outside the prize places earns nothing towards the car.
The Fine Print Worth Reading
- The winner pays the extras. Import fees, tax, registration and any related costs for a physical prize are the winner’s responsibility. For an Australian winner, bringing a luxury car into the country and registering it would add significant costs on top of the prize.
- Spinsy decides car or cash. The grand prize is the Urus or a cash equivalent “as specified by the Organizer”. The terms don’t state what the cash equivalent would be.
- Rules can change mid-race. Spinsy can amend eligibility, structure, scoring and point allocation at any point during the tournament.
- No clash with other promotions. Collecting Urus Coins doesn’t stop you winning other tournaments or promotions at the same time.
Is the Urus Promotion Worth Chasing?
What I like is that the qualifying tournaments are easy to enter. The minimum bets are low, the weekly race runs on all pokies, and the coin tables are published in full. If you already play pokies or bet on the eligible sports, taking part costs nothing extra.
What holds it back is the odds and the uncertainty. There is one grand prize, only ranked finishers earn coins, and the terms don’t say when Stage I ends or how many coins you’d need to qualify. The winner also has to cover import, tax and registration costs. For most players, the realistic value is the fun of the leaderboard rather than the car.
My take
Treat it as a bonus layer on play you’d already do.
I wouldn’t raise stakes or play longer sessions to chase coins. The odds of winning a single car across the whole player base are very long, however exciting the prize looks.
Tips
Racing for the Urus
- Check the minimum bet for each event. It’s A$0.45 in the weekly race, A$0.75 in the monthly race and A$3.00 in the Play-Off.
- Mind the sports list. AFL, NRL, cricket and racing bets don’t count in the Play-Off.
- Watch the tournament page. Stage II invitations are posted there as well as sent directly.
- Ask about Late Entry if you’ve joined partway through.
- Read the full T&Cs on Spinsy’s site for any further details.
The Urus Promotion is for players aged 18+. Leaderboard races can push people to play more than they planned, so set time and spend limits before you start. For support, call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au.
