  • Total prize pool of R600,000 split across daily and weekly leaderboards.
  • Runs from 1 September 2026 at 09:00 CAT until 30 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC.
  • Only real-money wagers on SkyPilot count; every R20 staked earns leaderboard points.
FirstBet is hosting the SkyPilot Network leaderboard until the end of November 2026, giving South African players a R600,000 prize pool for real-money stakes on Aardvark’s SkyPilot crash game.

What the SkyPilot Network Promotion Is

Aardvark Technologies runs the SkyPilot Network promotion, and FirstBet hosts it. To take part, you need to be in South Africa, be 18 or older, and have a verified FirstBet account with real money in it. One thing to keep in mind: points only come from real-money play on SkyPilot. Free bets and other games won't count.

How You Earn Leaderboard Points

You earn points by placing real-money stakes on the SkyPilot game during the promotion window. The rule is simple:

  • Every R20 wagered guarantees leaderboard points.
  • Only settled real-money bets on SkyPilot count.
  • Leaderboards update periodically throughout the promotion.
  • If two or more players finish with the same score, the player who reached that score first takes the higher ranking.

On weekly grand prize checkpoint days, daily prizes are not awarded. Those days use the weekly prize table instead.

Daily and Weekly Prize Structure

Prizes are credited to your FirstBet account, usually within 48 hours of each checkpoint. Amounts are shown in euros, with a ZAR equivalent based on a fixed reference rate of R20 = €1. If your account is held in a different currency, FirstBet converts at its applicable rate when the prize is paid.

Eligibility and Key Rules

To take part, you must:

  • Be 18 or older.
  • Hold a valid, verified real-money FirstBet account.
  • Be a South African player registered with FirstBet.
  • Comply with FirstBet’s general terms and these promotion terms.

Accounts that are self-excluded are not eligible. The promotion does not give access to prizes offered by Aardvark Technologies or other participating operators.

FirstBet and Aardvark can change, pause, or cancel the promotion at any time. That includes prizes that haven't been won yet. And they don't have to give you a heads-up first. If they think someone is working together to cheat, committing fraud, betting as part of a syndicate, or running duplicate accounts, that person can be disqualified. Any prizes they've won can also be taken back.

Practical Details for South African Players

SkyPilot is a game from Aardvark where you can win money. You bet real money, and a multiplier goes up. You need to decide when to take your winnings before the game ends. To earn points, you must bet real money while the promotion is happening. There is no separate minimum stake listed beyond the normal game limits, but every R20 staked guarantees points.

Times are given in both UTC and CAT. The promotion ends at 23:59 UTC on 30 November 2026, which is 01:59 CAT on 1 December. Play after that cut-off will not count toward the leaderboard.

If you're new, you can get a 100% welcome bonus up to R10,000 when you use the FirstBet promo code BETS during registration. This bonus money can help you place more bets on SkyPilot during the promotion. Just remember that the welcome offer has its own rules and conditions. You'll also need to complete FICA verification before you can withdraw any winnings, whether from the leaderboard or the welcome bonus.

Complaints and Support

If you have a problem with the promotion, send an email to [email protected]. Put "SkyPilot Network Promotion" in the subject line. If your issue isn't resolved, you can contact the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board by emailing [email protected]. For general questions you can also use the FirstBet website chat or the same support email.

The promotion is over on November 30, 2026. To get on the daily or weekly leaderboards, you must bet real money on SkyPilot before the last checkpoint. See how you're doing on FirstBet and finish verifying your account if you want to win something.
