Aussies love sport. The biggest sports fans love fantasy and punting: Fantasy to prove how much they know about the game, and punting to reap the benefits. We wanted to combine the best bits of both.

Top 8 launched in 2015, allowing Australian fantasy sports fans to test their skills and bet against each other’s fantasy teams. It’s a short-term alternative to regular fantasy sports with the chance of an immediate reward.
A simpler way to play fantasy and a smarter way to punt.

Top 8 is different because we offer daily and weekly games for cash

Choose Your League

The action begins in The Lobby. Here you chose the league youd like to enter. There are plenty of leagues to choose from. You can filter the leagues by selecting the sport, entry fee and prize pool that you prefer to find the perfect league for you. You can enter as many teams as you like to increase your chances of winning.

Prize Pools

Entry fees go in to the prize pool - all prize pools can be viewed in the Lobby. Top 8 will only take a rake once 10 teams have been entered in a league. If less than 10 teams are entered in a league 100% of entry fees remain in the prize pool. Once 10 teams have been entered 88% of entry fees remain in the prize pool with the remainder retained as the Top 8 commission.

Our payout structure is flexible so that it will adjust as more teams enter a league. Payout structure is not finalised until the league starts and no more entries are accepted. No matter how many teams enter a league you will win money if you make the Top 8%.

Some prize pools are GUARANTEED. Regardless of how many teams enter these leagues Top 8 guarantees to pay out the guaranteed prize pool. For example for a $10 entry $5k Guaranteed league Top 8 will pay out at least $5000 in prizes no matter if there is 10 teams entered or 1000 teams entered. All leagues have an unlimited number of entries to ensure prize pools are maximised.
