The entry fee will be $1,000 and contestants will pick five pro football games against the spread every week.<\/p>\n<p>The grand prize is guaranteed to be $1,000,000 regardless of how many people enter the contest. Getting 1,000 people to sign up for a new contest won\u2019t be easy. As Palm said to VSiN,\u00a0<strong>\u00a0it\u2019s entirely possible there will be an overlay<\/strong>\u00a0since this is the first year of the Circa Sports Million.<\/p>\n<p>There will be approximately\u00a0<strong>$1.5 million in total prizes<\/strong>\u00a0in the inaugural contest this year. The Top 10 finishers will receive prize money. There will also be prizes awarded every quarter of the football season for the most correct picks. Prizes will be split if there are ties each quarter.<\/p>\n<p>As of now,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelines.com\/odds\/\">lines<\/a>\u00a0for the contest will be posted on Thursday morning each week of the NFL season around 8 am or 9 am. According to Palm, they\u2019re still working out a deadline for when picks need to be submitted.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the SuperContest, participants must sign up for the contest in person. One thing that will be different than the SuperContest is the ability for contestants inside of Nevada will be able to\u00a0<strong>make picks on their mobile app instead of visiting a casino<\/strong>\u00a0to submit picks.<\/p>\n<p>Proxy services will be allowed for out of state contestant to enter picks. However, Nevada residents can save a few bucks and submit picks from the comfort of home.<\/p>\n<h2>*  <script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- LVBC BLOG RESPONSIVE -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3305383693358973\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8378569513\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/h2>\n<h2>MORE PROMOTIONS AND CONTESTS<\/h2>\n<p>Stevens is a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelines.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sports bettor<\/a>\u00a0that happens to operate casinos.
