UPC Showdown Champion of Champions Returns!

October 31st 2025, 2:12pm, By: Heath Chick

If you like your betting with a bit of competition, UPC Showdown is where punters go to take on each other instead of the bookie. Every week there are racing and sports competitions with real prize money up for grabs, and if you’re any good, it all leads to one thing ...the Champion of Champions!

One day, one comp, the best of the best. No buy-ins, no ring-ins, no mates slipping you a code to sneak in. You earn your spot, you show up, and you play.

How To Qualify

Getting in isn’t easy, but that’s the point!

- Saturday Main Event – 1st/2nd/3rd Place Qualifies

- Wednesday $20 Showdown – 1st Place Qualifies

- Sunday $20 Showdown – 1st Place Qualifies

- Special events – sometimes UPC Showdown throws in a wildcard

One entry per person. 

Event Details

It’s on in February at The Office Hotel, Corner of Kent and Erskine Street, Sydney.

Invite only, so you’ve got to be there in person and show ID before you can play.

This is one of UPC Showdown's BIGGEST Champion of Champions prize pools, and every invitee gets $100 to play - split into $50 (100%), $25 (50%), and $12.50 (25%) entries.

No buy-ins. No extras. Just the best punters from the season going head-to-head for serious coin.

Champion of Champions isn’t about who bets the biggest, it’s about who picks winners when it counts. You’ll get all types in the room from data guys, gut feelers, and old legends like Rick320 who reckons horses can’t read form.

It’s one comp, one day, real money, real legends.

When the dust settles, one person walks out the Champion of Champions. The rest walk away knowing they’ve got work to do next season.

Book your seat at the Champion of Champions by qualifying on UPC Showdown this weekend!
