What Is a VIP Week? Double Consolation Prizes Every Time It Runs
The short version
A VIP week is a special CryptoPot draw where consolation prizes are doubled for every qualifying ticket. Everything else stays the same — same ticket price, same jackpot structure, same Sunday draw. The only difference is what consolation winners walk away with.
Standard week vs VIP week — side by side
| Match | Standard week | VIP week |
|---|---|---|
| 3 of 5 | $10 USDT | $20 USDT |
| 4 of 5 | $20 USDT | $40 USDT |
| Jackpot (5 of 5) | Winners pool remainder | Winners pool remainder (unchanged) |
During a VIP week, a 3-of-5 match pays back double your entry fee. A 4-of-5 match — already a rare and satisfying result — pays $40 USDT.
What stays the same during a VIP week
- Ticket price: ~$10 USDT per ticket
- Draw time: Sunday 8:00 PM AST
- Ticket close time: Sunday 6:00 PM AST
- Jackpot structure: 80% of pot to winners pool, major winner takes the remainder after consolation payouts
- Odds: 1 in 95 per ticket for a consolation prize, same as any other week
- Payout method: automatic via NOWPayments to your registered wallet
Why VIP weeks matter for your entry decision
The consolation odds don't change during a VIP week — roughly 1 in 95 tickets will match 3 or more numbers regardless. What changes is the value of each consolation win.
If you were planning to enter one ticket, a VIP week is a straightforward reason to consider entering two. Your chances of winning a consolation prize per ticket are the same, but if you hit one, you collect twice as much.
For players who enter regularly, VIP weeks are also the best time to invite friends — any new player who enters during a VIP week gets their first experience of the game with enhanced consolation payouts, which is a stronger first impression than a standard week.
How to know when a VIP week is running
VIP weeks are announced in advance. When one is scheduled:
- The homepage will display a VIP week banner and updated countdown
- Registered players receive an email notification before ticket sales open for that week
- Social media announcements go out when the VIP week is confirmed
VIP weeks are not on a fixed schedule — they are announced on a case-by-case basis. The best way to make sure you don't miss one is to stay registered and keep your email notifications turned on.
