How to set up a wager race leaderboard
A wager race ranks your viewers by how much they wager at a casino through your affiliate link over a set period, with prizes for the top places. To run one, agree the dates and prize pool with the casino, connect your affiliate stats so the standings update themselves, and show the leaderboard on stream and on your site.

Agree the race with the casino first
Set the start and end dates, the prize pool and how it splits between places, and who funds it. Most races are run with the casino you are partnered with, and their terms decide who can enter. Keep it 18+ and follow the operator's rules.
Use the casino's numbers, not a spreadsheet
Standings typed in by hand between streams go stale and invite arguments. Pull them from your casino affiliate stats so the board shows the operator's own figures.
Show it on stream and on your site
Put the leaderboard on your overlay so the race is part of every stream, and embed the same board on your website so viewers can check their place any time.
Setting it up in StreamNeeds
Create a board, add your affiliate key and set the dates and prize ladder. StreamNeeds checks the key with the casino before saving it, pulls the standings, and updates the overlay as soon as a new snapshot lands. The website embed renders the same design as the overlay, so the two never disagree.
