Winning Five runs two systems on the same eligible activity: a weekly free-bet calculation and a longer points ranking. The records overlap, but their bases and prize forms differ.
The weekly formula uses average stake
The source selects a 5–30% rate from a table combining weekly level and the number of qualifying leagues represented. That percentage is then applied to average qualifying stake.
It is not a net-loss rebate or a percentage of total turnover. A level can be reached while the calculated award still falls below the $0.50 payment floor. The ceiling is $100.
Rankings use a different points record
The longer competition has two stages, August–December 2026 and December 2026–May 2027, with no points carried between them. Final places depend on the field, not a fixed score guaranteed by an earlier example leaderboard.
Ties are resolved by the timing rule in the source. Cash, points and free bets occupy different prize bands and should not be described as one monetary reward.
Prize treatment follows its form
The top cash awards have no additional wagering described. Free bets, including weekly and ranking awards, have 72-hour use conditions. Crediting and later conversion therefore remain distinct.
The old source’s claim that every leading second-stage cash prize was exactly double is inconsistent with its own table. The new description retains the separate listed prize structure without repeating that incorrect generalisation.
