Great Prizepools on Offer this Weekend at UPC Showdown!

August 29th 2025, 2:26pm, By: Heath Chick

UPC Showdown is gearing up for a big Spring racing carnival with the first of the Group 1s arriving at Caulfield this Saturday with the Memsie Stakes, while the San Domenico is the highlight at Rosehill. Big races mean big prize pools at UPC Showdown and they are only going to be bigger throughout the Spring Carnival! We’d love to see our Before You Bet followers take home a big pay day so get on board with UPC Showdown this weekend!

UPC Showdown is a great way to bet on a Saturday as you’re not taking on the bookie, you’re playing against other punters in a tournament-style setting. For a low buy-in, you have the chance to pick a winner in every race of the meeting, and potentially win a massive pay day. You get to punt all day for the price of one bet!

For more details, head to this article on How Does UPC Showdown work.

This Saturday’s feature Showdown contest is offering a prize pool in excess of $20,000 for just a $50 entry. Or if that’s too rich for you, you have the option to buy-in for less and collect a smaller share of the prize pool which is one of the great features of UPC Showdown.

There’s also the popular “Back Your Bets” (BYB) feature where you can back your own ability to be able to pick a certain number of winners during the mian Showdown contest.

There’s plenty of other fun features to check out at UPC Showdown. There’s contests available for sports such as AFL and NRL, you can create private groups with your mates and there’s season-long tipping competitions where you can win great prize money.

And if you’d like to be able to bet like a traditional bookie, then you can head to UPCoz which is the sports betting wing of the same company. UPCoz have a great range of markets for sports and racing, excellent odds and some great promos so they are worth checking out.

Join in the Ultimate Punters Challenge this weekend and grab a share of the great prize pools at UPC Showdown!
