The Circa Survivor guarantee will be $15 Million. Circa Sports made the long awaited announcement live Thursday on the radio show Follow the Money.
Circa Sports owner Derek Stevens tweeted on May 2 a video in which he said he was about to make history with the announcement and that X post has been viewed more than 1.3 million times.
Last season the prize pool was $14.266 Million and as you can see from the table below, the contest payout has always exceeded the guarantee. That leaves open the possibility of a record setting prize in the neighborhood of $20 Million. The final prize will be determined in September when s for the no-rake contest close.
"$15M is a massive guarantee for Circa Survivor and I predict they blow past it," said James Sullivan from Survivor Sweat. "Circa Survivor is hotter than ever and the prize pool could reach closer to $20M when it’s all said and done!”

What is Circa Survivor?
Circa Survivor is an NFL survivor pool contest in Las Vegas that’s quickly turned into the largest survivor pool in the world. Bettors choose an NFL team each week, and if the team loses, they’re eliminated. If the team wins, they survive another week but aren’t allowed to use a team more than once so planning is crucial.
Each entry costs $1,000 and players can purchase a maximum of 10 entries. The nature of the NFL season where upsets happen left and right make this contest a roller coaster and full of storylines.
