Daily Race leaderboard, explained without the marketing speak
· Come newsroom
The mechanic in one paragraph
The Daily Race is the longest-running promotion on the Come platform. It runs every calendar day, settles at midnight IST and pays the top finishers based on their qualifying turnover. The mechanic is simple in principle and easy to misunderstand in practice, so this article walks through it end to end.
What counts as a qualifying bet
Qualifying bets are any real-money bet placed on a participating format: fantasy cricket, rummy, sports markets and the lobby titles. Demo play and bonus-only play do not count. Each bet's stake adds to your qualifying turnover for that day. The exact conversion is published inside the app, but as a rule of thumb, a ₹100 fantasy entry adds 100 points, a ₹100 rummy stake adds 100 points, and a ₹100 sports wager adds 100 points.
Bonus funds used on qualifying formats contribute at a reduced rate, typically one-third of a real-money stake of the same value. The rate is published at the top of the Daily Race screen inside the app. Cashback and Gullak yield do not count, since those are credits rather than stakes.
How the leaderboard settles
The leaderboard closes at 23:59:59 IST. After the cutoff, the system ranks all members by qualifying turnover, calculates the prize pool from the published tier table, and pays the top finishers to their Come wallet within minutes. There is no manual claim step. The credit shows up as a transaction in the wallet with a 'Daily Race' label.
The settlement log is downloadable from the wallet history. Members who play across formats can audit the qualifying turnover contribution per format and confirm the ranking against the published tier table. The log is also the official record in any dispute about the credit timing.
Tie-break rule
Tie-breaks are decided by the earliest entry that reached the tied turnover, so two members on the same turnover will see the one who reached it first take the higher position. The rule is enforced automatically and is not negotiable. If two members reach the same turnover on the same minute, the system uses the order in which the entries were recorded in the bet ledger.
Practical advice for new members
For new members, the practical advice is to play your usual format at your usual stake and let the leaderboard do the rest. There is no benefit to over-stretching for a higher position. The Daily Race is a reward for normal play, not a competition to grind for.
Members who climb into the paid positions usually do so by combining fantasy entries, a rummy session and a sports market bet in the same calendar day, rather than by concentrating volume on a single format. The published tier table rewards consistency across formats more than depth on one.
Where Daily Race rewards sit in your wallet
Daily Race position rewards credit to the main wallet independently of VIP tier cashback and Gullak yield. The three promotions do not interact: a Daily Race winner still earns VIP cashback on the same day's net losses, and Gullak yield still accrues on the Gullak balance regardless of the leaderboard result.
This is the practical reason the Daily Race, VIP and Gullak pages are published separately. Each is a different income channel and the wallet shows them as separate transaction types. Members who optimise for one promotion do not lose ground on the others.
How the cutoff actually fires at midnight IST
The leaderboard closes at 23:59:59 IST sharp. The cutoff is enforced server-side, which means a member placing a bet at 23:59:30 IST sees it counted toward today's leaderboard, and a member placing a bet at 00:00:30 IST sees it counted toward tomorrow's leaderboard. There is no grace period, no rollover minute, no late-window. The exact same rule applies every day, including weekends and Indian public holidays.
This is the practical reason most active members place their last qualifying bet by 22:30 IST. Betting close to midnight is fine, but the network round-trip from app to bet ledger is not always instant - a bet placed at 23:59:55 may record at 00:00:01, which means it counts for tomorrow, not today. Members who play late sessions tend to lock in their Daily Race position by 22:30 and use the final hour for non-qualifying formats.
What happens when the field is small
On days with a small qualifying field, the leaderboard may have fewer members in the paid positions than the published tier table allows. Come does not redistribute the unpaid tier funds down to lower positions - the published tier table is final, and unused positions simply do not pay. Members who finish in the unpaid positions still see the rank, but no credit lands in the wallet.
This is the practical reason the Daily Race is a daily-turnover reward rather than a guaranteed-payout contest. The published tier table is the maximum, not a floor. Members who treat Daily Race as a serious bankroll channel understand this asymmetry and play their usual format without over-stretching to chase a paid position that may not exist on a slow day.
Qualifying formats and contribution rates
The Daily Race qualifying turnover is calculated per format at a published conversion rate. As a general rule of thumb, fantasy cricket entries and rummy stakes contribute at full stake value, while sports market wagers and arcade titles contribute at slightly reduced rates. The exact numbers are published at the top of the Daily Race screen inside the app and update at the start of each calendar day.
Bonus-only play does not count toward qualifying turnover. Cashback credited to the wallet also does not count - those are wallet credits, not stakes. Gullak yield does not count, because Gullak is an in-app savings balance rather than a wagered format. Members who want to maximise their Daily Race position play their usual real-money formats at their usual real-money stakes.
Reading the wallet credit log
Every Daily Race credit shows up in the wallet history as a single transaction labelled 'Daily Race' with the calendar date, the position finished, the qualifying turnover and the credit amount. The log is filterable by date range and downloadable as a CSV for members who track their week-over-week position performance.
The credit log is also the official record for any dispute about timing. If a member believes a credit was missed or underpaid, the dispute workflow in the support section references the Daily Race transaction row in the wallet log. Members who already use the log for their own tracking get faster resolutions because the dispute team can audit the same row the member is pointing at.
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum qualifying turnover?
There is no published minimum. Members with zero qualifying turnover on a calendar day simply do not appear on the leaderboard and cannot win a paid position.
Do sports market wagers count at the same rate as fantasy entries?
No. The conversion rate per format is published at the top of the Daily Race screen and updates daily. Fantasy cricket and rummy typically count at full stake value; sports and arcade formats count at reduced rates.
Is there a manual claim step?
No. The position-based credit lands in the main wallet within minutes of the midnight cutoff. There is no opt-in or claim button - if you finished in a paid position, the credit is automatic.
Why position-based rewards beat guaranteed prizes
The position-based structure is what keeps the Daily Race sustainable across both high-volume and low-volume days. On a high-volume day, the field is deep enough that the published tier table fills naturally and the credit per position is small but consistent. On a low-volume day, the field is shallow and the credit per position is larger but fewer members qualify. Either way, the total payout tracks the field, not a fixed budget.
This is the practical reason members who join Come for the Daily Race tend to stay for the format. The position-based structure is more honest than a guaranteed-prize model - members are not competing against the house for a fixed pool, they are competing against each other for a pool that grows with participation. The result is a promotion that scales naturally with the platform rather than eating into margin on slow days.

Bottom line for members
Daily Race is a daily-turnover reward that runs alongside every other promotion on Come. It is not a contest to grind for. Members who play their usual format at their usual stake let the leaderboard do the rest, and the position-based credit lands in the main wallet within minutes of the midnight IST cutoff.
For members who optimise for it, the practical pattern is consistent play across fantasy, rummy and sports markets in a single calendar day rather than concentrated volume on one format. The published tier table rewards that consistency, and the credit log keeps a clean audit trail for any dispute.
