The bet365 6 Horses Challenge is a free-to-play game where you pick one horse to win in each of six selected races, and correctly predicting all six wins you a share of the daily jackpot — up to £100,000 at the biggest meetings. It costs nothing to enter, there are cash consolation prizes for four or five correct picks, and it’s open to all registered bet365 customers in the UK and Ireland. Since around March 2026 it no longer runs every day — bet365 now typically brings it back for the major festivals. Here’s how it works, whether it’s running right now, and how to get started.
Is the bet365 6 Horses Challenge running this week?
Yes — the 6 Horses Challenge is live for Glorious Goodwood, running each day from Tuesday 28 July to Saturday 1 August 2026 with a £100,000 daily jackpot. Pick six winners from the day’s selected races for a share of the top prize, with cash consolation prizes for four or five correct: a share of up to £10,000 for five, up to £5,000 for four, and £2 in Bet Credits for three.
You can make your picks the day before each raceday’s game — choose your six on Tuesday for Wednesday’s challenge, and so on through the week. Play the 6 Horses Challenge »

What is the bet365 6 Horses Challenge?
The 6 Horses Challenge is one of bet365’s free-to-play games for registered customers. bet365 selects six races, and your job is to pick the horse you think will win each one. Get enough right and you win a prize — with the reward climbing the more winners you correctly call, all the way up to a share of the daily jackpot for a perfect six. There’s no stake and no entry fee; it’s free to play.
Has bet365 stopped the 6 Horses Challenge?
Not permanently — but it has changed. Up until around March 2026, the 6 Horses Challenge ran as a daily free-to-play game. Since then, bet365 no longer offers it every day, and it now typically returns for the big festivals and showcase meetings — the likes of Cheltenham, Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood — rather than on ordinary racedays.
So if you’ve searched for it on a quiet midweek afternoon and found it missing, that’s why: it isn’t broken or gone for good, it’s simply not running that day. The best time to look for it is during a major meeting. bet365 also states that availability of the feature is at its discretion, so exact timing can vary — this page is updated to show whether it’s live and, when it is, which meeting it’s running for.
6 Horses Challenge prize structure
| Correct picks | Prize |

| 5 winners | A share of up to £10,000 |
| 6 winners | A share of up to £100,000 daily jackpot |
Jackpot amounts vary by meeting — the £100,000 daily prize applies to showcase weeks like Glorious Goodwood. Prize values are exclusive of any applicable tax. 18+. GambleAware.org.
