BetOnline’s $200,000 Bracket Madness Contest

March Madness is right around the corner and our friends at BetOnline are offering a Bracket Madness contest with $200,000 in prizes being given away. Now, this is a paid contest per bracket, however users are allowed up to 20 entires into the contest, with discounted prices on additional entries.

Let’s get into the details!

What is BetOnline’s Bracket Madness Contest?

This is a very straight forward March Madness bracket contest. Contestants buy their entry, fill out their picks, sit back, watch the games and hopefully collect some prize money if you win! The contest opened up for pre-purchase entries on February 7th, but obviously selections can not be made until the bracket is released on Selection Sunday, March 16th.

For each entry, contestants pick the winners for all 63 games of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, filling out a completed bracket. Once picks are made, enter a tiebreaker prediction and click the SAVE button to lock in your picks. You can head back and change your picks up until the Round of 64 kicks off on Thursday, March 20th.
