Eliminator Credits

When you first view a new Eliminator game you get awarded a number free-to-play (F2P) Eliminator Credits.

Eliminator credits are a virutal currency that you can use to buy tickets in Eliminator games.

When to Buy Tickets

You can buy tickets:

  1. When the game is available in 'Presale'
    • Presale is the period leading up to raceday BEFORE official scratchings.
    • Your tickets will be reserved and issued on the morning of the race meeting.
    • It's good to get in early as tickets in every game are limited.
  2. Before the game starts
    • On the day of the race meeting, after official scratchings, tickets are issued immediately.
    • Prior to the first race you can buy 1 ticket for 1 credit. 
  3. In between races, until the tickets are sold out
    • After a race is resulted, you can use your credits to buy more tickets, right up until the start of the next race.
    • 💡 Tickets you buy after Round 1 will cost more credits, as these tickets have the winner in all of the previous race/s.

Buying Tickets

  • Select a game from the Games screen
  • Click Buy
    • Your Eliminator Credit balance is displayed at the top of the pinpad
    • Enter the number of tickets you want to buy
      • The credits per ticket and total cost in credits is displayed on the pinpad

    • your tickets will be issued at random from game's Ticket Pool

    • 6 tickets on runners 4 and 8 - collectively a 24.4% chance of winning.
  • You are not holding any tickets on the other runners in the race
  • Tickets with the winner in Race 3 will survive to the next round
    • all of the other tickets will be eliminated
