: How is tournament scoring calculated?
A: Scoring methodology varies by tournament type. Slot tournaments may rank players by highest single win multiplier, total points accumulated (based on wins relative to bet size), or total net winnings over the tournament period. Live dealer leaderboards typically rank by cumulative winnings or number of qualifying hands played. Table game challenges may rank by total profit or win rate. The specific scoring system for each tournament is detailed in the tournament rules page.
Q: What happens if two players have the same score at the end of a tournament?
A: In the event of a tie, Betunited uses a tiebreaker rule defined in each tournament's terms — typically the player who reached the tied score first is ranked higher (based on timestamp). In some competitions, tied players may share the prize for the tied positions, splitting the combined prize value equally. The applicable tiebreaker rule is always stated in the tournament-specific terms and conditions.
Q: Can I change my strategy or game selection mid-tournament?
A: Yes, unless the tournament rules specify that only a particular game or game type qualifies. For open-format slot tournaments, you may play any qualifying slot at any stake within the tournament parameters. For game-specific tournaments (e.g., a tournament tied to a single slot title), you must play the designated game throughout. Review the tournament rules to understand which games count toward your score.
Q: Are there minimum bet requirements to qualify for tournament scoring?
A: Yes. Most tournaments specify a minimum bet per spin or per hand to qualify for scoring. Bets below the minimum threshold are not counted toward your tournament score or leaderboard position, even if you win. The minimum qualifying bet is clearly stated in the tournament rules. Ensure your bet level meets the minimum requirement before starting your tournament play.
Q: What happens if a technical error occurs during a tournament round?
A: If a verifiable technical error affects your tournament score — such as a game crash during a qualifying spin or a hand that was not recorded — contact support immediately with the game name, timestamp, and any error message received. Betunited's technical team will investigate and, where the error is confirmed, make an appropriate adjustment to your tournament score. Betunited's decision on technical error resolutions is final.
