MegaBonanza is running a July leaderboard tournament called Freedom Cup offering the chance to win 500,000 SC shared between 2,000 winners.
Key Details:
- MegaBonanza Freedom Cup is now live as of July 1, 2026, just in time for America's 250th anniversary on July 4.
- Winners will be decided by their rank at the end of the tournament.
- The 500000 SC prize pool will be split across 2,000 places rather than a handful of top finishers giving a lot more players the chance to win SC.
What Is the Freedom Cup?
The MegaBonanza Freedom Cup tournament is one of MegaBonanza's generous promos that runs from July 1 through July 20, 2026, with a total prize pool of 500,000 SC shared across 2,000 winners.
The top player on the leaderboard at the close of the tournament will win a 250,000 SC grand prize, half the entire pool.
There are 8 selected games that count toward your leaderboard score. These include:
- Big Bass Buffalo
- Great Golden Eagle
- Trump It Bonanza x1000
- Stars & Stripes
- Backyard Grill
- McLuck
- McLuck Deluxe
- Liberty Coins
Other games in the MegaBonanza lobby will not move your position, so check the in-app Tournament Card before you start a session to confirm a title qualifies.
How the Scoring Works
You can earn points from:
- Total play: you earn 1 point for every 1 SC played, regardless of the outcome of that spin.
- Total wins: you earn 1 additional point for every 1 SC won during the tournament.
That means consistent play accumulates points even without big results, and any wins on top of that add further to your score.
Your final rank is based on your combined point total which is total play points plus total win points.
Free SC Prize Breakdown: What Can You Win?
The structure is built to reward the full field, not just the top finishers. These are the confirmed positions and prizes:
| Position | Prize |
| 1 (Grand Prize) | 250,000 SC |
| 2 | 25,000 SC |
| 3 | 12,500 SC |
| 4 | 7,500 SC |
| 5-9 | 7,500 SC each |
| 10 | 2,500 SC |
| 11-25 | 1,000 SC each |
| 26-40 | 500 SC each |
| 41-100 | 250 SC each |
| 101-250 | 100 SC each |
| 251-500 | 50 SC each |
| 501-1,000 | 25 SC each |
| 1,001-2,000 | 10 SC each |
This means that even the player finishing in 2,000th place will receive 10 SC. The pool is distributed across the entire field, which makes a smaller prize realistic for casual players without needing to be a top finisher.

Tips for Winning Free SC at Megabonanza
- Don't focus on wins or playing big. The tournament structure rewards volume, so every 1 SC played earns a point regardless of the outcome.
- Stick to the 8 featured games this month since play on any other title in the lobby will not count toward your rank.
- Set a play budget you are comfortable with and treat any tier above that as a bonus rather than the goal.
The leaderboard updates as you play, so the only way to know your real position is to join MegaBonanza today and watch it move.
