Compete, climb the leaderboard, and win big before time runs out.
Top players each have a shot at our biggest prize pool yet. Climb the leaderboard during the contest window, and when the timer hits zero, the top three players win cash, in-game currency, and exclusive rewards. Standings update live, so keep playing right up to the final second.
Please note this is for The Handcuff Game. Not any other games.
Your contest score is based on matches played, wins, and performance during the event window. Every completed match adds points automatically — there's no separate leaderboard to opt into. The scoring formula weighs wins more heavily than losses, so consistent play and strong performance both matter.
This season's total prize pool is $850 in cash plus 17,500 in-game coins, split across first, second, and third place as shown above. Additional badges, shoutouts, and exclusive items are awarded on top of the cash and coin rewards.
Just play! Every match you complete during the contest window counts toward your score automatically. No separate sign-up is needed unless stated otherwise.
Rankings are based on your total contest score, which updates after every match. You can check your live position from the in-game leaderboard menu at any time.
