At the end of each week from Tuesday, 12 AM EST, through the following Monday at 11:59 AM EST, we total the rake we took from all of your Battle Royales you entered and send back a certain percentage (depending on which tier you qualify for) of that number to your account in the form of bonus funds.
You will be notified of your tier for the current week on Tuesday with your rake-back percentage being sent to your Underdog account every Wednesday before 5 PM EST.
The Gladiator Program is a rake-back rewards program where you are awarded bonus funds (in varying tiers) from the rake you paid towards your Daily drafts in that given week. As this is a rake-back program, you are only receiving a certain percentage of the rake you paid for these contests, not total entry fees.
For example, if you entered 150 drafts, you would qualify for the bronze tier, which is a 10% rake-back paid to you. Let’s take an average draft price of $10 and an average rake of 10%. This means you paid $1,500 in draft fees, equaling $150 in rake paid. You are receiving 10% back of the $150 total, which would be $15 in this example.
A reminder that the following contests will NOT be included in this program:
Dawg Bowl
Sit-and-go's
Rake-free/charity contests
Tiers/Rake-back percentage

100-499 drafts - 20% rake-back

1,000-1,499 drafts - 40% rake-back
1,500+ drafts - 50% rake-back
Season-long program
For 2025, we have made an update to our previous program, where entry fees will now be the factor considered for your tier.
For example, if you entered $5,000 worth of best ball contests, you would qualify for the Bronze tier, which is 20% rake-back paid to you. Using an average rake of 10%, this means you would have paid $500 in rake for these contests. You are receiving 20% of the $500 in total rake, so $100 would be the rake-back paid in this scenario.
