Every Colossus Fantasy contest consists of a range of player statistical metrics for you to make selections on how they will perform against the listed performance metric. Every entry you place into the contest increases the amount available to be distributed in prizes.<\/p>\n

To win a contest, you must select the correct outcomes for the series of events (the ‘legs’ of the contest) listed on the relevant entry coupon. You can read more about the sports and contest types available on Colossus Fantasy, as well as how to play, in the <\/span>Sports<\/span><\/a> section.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The great thing about Colossus Fantasy contests is that you don\u2019t have to get everything right to win a prize. If you get close enough to a perfect entry but not quite all the way, we offer substantial <\/span>consolation prizes <\/strong>for most of our contests to recognise a good effort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You will also be offered the option to <\/span>Cash Out<\/strong> your entry after certain legs of each contest finish*. Colossus Fantasy pioneered this feature (not that we like to brag). Read more about Cash Out <\/span>here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both main and consolation prizes are <\/span>shared<\/strong> among winners. Read more about prizes <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
