Weekly Leaderboards: How the Rankings Really Work
The weekly leaderboard is where Royspins keeps score between tournaments. Every eligible spin adds points, the standings update live, and Monday morning resets the board for a fresh race. Understanding how points accumulate — and what top finishes actually pay — turns the leaderboard from background decoration into a strategic target. Prize structures rotate, so check the current terms each week.
How Points Accumulate
Leaderboard points track your activity across eligible games through the week. Wins feed the score automatically — there is nothing to claim or activate beyond playing qualifying titles while logged in. Tournament results add weight on top, which is why the most consistent leaderboard climbers are also regular tournament entrants.
The live standings panel shows your position, the gap to the next rank and the time remaining in the week. Checking it once per session is enough; obsessing over it spin by spin is how budgets quietly dissolve.
The Monday Reset
Every Monday the board wipes clean and a new competition week begins. The reset is the leaderboard's healthiest feature: last week's bad run carries no penalty, and every player starts the new week equal.
It also defines the natural rhythm of the platform. Daily tournaments feed weekly rankings, weekly rankings feed the Sunday final, and Monday starts the cycle again. The tournament guide maps how the formats fit inside the week.
What the Top Finishes Pay
Weekly prizes reward the upper ranks of the board — cash prizes for the top positions and perks like free tournament entries for the bands below. The exact split changes from week to week, which is why the current terms page is the only reliable source for numbers.
The sidebar's Top Players widget shows the daily leaders with masked names — the same anonymised format the community chat uses. Full standings live on the leaderboard page inside the lobby.
Ties and Edge Cases
When two players finish the week level on points, the tiebreak runs to the earliest achieved score — whoever reached the total first ranks higher. It is a small rule with a real consequence: points earned early in the week carry hidden value over the same points earned Sunday night.
Disqualified or self-excluded accounts are removed from the standings, and ranks below shift up accordingly. Results link to verifiable game round IDs, which the fair play guide explains in the context of tournament integrity.
The Multiplier Perk for High Ranks
Loyalty tiers interact with the leaderboard: Duke-tier members carry a 1.5x weighting on tournament scores, a meaningful edge in close weekly races. The full ladder — and how Crown Points accumulate toward it — is covered in the loyalty guide.
That multiplier applies to scoring weight, not to prize money directly. A Duke and a Squire with identical raw results finish with the Duke ranked higher — the loyalty system's way of rewarding sustained play.

Five Habits of Weekly Leaders
- Play the free slot races every week — zero cost, real points.
- Front-load the week; early points win tiebreaks.
- Pick eligible games you would enjoy anyway — points should be a by-product.
- Watch the gap, not the leader: overtaking fifth place pays more attention to fourth than to first.
- Set a weekly play budget and let the stop-loss rules guard it.
Chasing vs Skipping a Week
Not every week is worth contesting. If the leaders are running at volumes far beyond your budget by Wednesday, the rational move is to skip — there is a fresh board every Monday, and no prize justifies doubling a planned spend to finish eleventh.
The players who profit from leaderboards over a season enter the weeks that already fit their normal play. The board should reward sessions you would have had anyway, exactly as the loyalty ladder does — the moment it dictates your deposits, it stops being a perk.
Keep the Competition Healthy
A leaderboard is a scoreboard, not a salary. The players who enjoy it longest treat rankings as seasoning on sessions they would have played anyway — never as a reason to extend past budget. The Responsible Gambling page lists the limit tools, and Monday always offers a clean board.
