Orb Rush Leagues
Every ranked Orb Rush racer is already in a league. You don't sign up — your Elo rating places you automatically.
Open the League tab in the Arcade to see your league, tonight's prizes, and who is in the money.
The leagues
| League | Rating |
|---|---|
| Bronze | Below 900 |
| Silver | 900+ (everyone starts here at 1,000) |
| Gold | 1,100+ |
| Platinum | 1,300+ |
| Diamond | 1,500+ |
New racers start at 1,000, which is Silver. Your league is your Elo band. Cross the next floor and you're promoted on the spot. Drop below your league's floor and you're moved down.
How a race moves that number — wins always gain, win streaks add a little extra, bigger fields pay more — is in Orb Rush Elo.
A win for streaks, draws, and "races won" is 1st place only. Anything else resets the streak. A streak also adds a little extra Elo (+3 per extra win in a row, max +12 at the 5th win; farm heats past 2,500 Elo pay +1 extra per 2 wins, same +12 extra cap) and counts for quests. See Win streaks.
Tonight's prizes
Each league has two pools that pay at midnight UTC:
- A Coin pool that starts seeded each day (same curve as gems, smaller). Paid 50 Coin heats add a slice of every pot on top.
- A Gem pool that starts seeded each day (higher leagues start with more).
Ten nightly draws split both pools — every ranked race you win that day is one entry (Free Race and 50 Coins both count), and one entry is pulled per draw. More wins mean more chances, and one racer can take several draws. Practice does not earn entries.
A league needs 10 unique racers that day for its pool to pay on its own. If fewer people raced there, those racers (and that league's Coin + Gem pools) fold into the neighboring league with more racers — down when the two sides are even, up when you're already at the bottom. Empty leagues stay put so their jackpot can roll to the next day.

League milestones
Climbing pays on its own: one-time quests reward reaching Gold, Platinum, and Diamond — the top two pay Gems plus Coins.
Ranked races vs. optional events
Leagues are only about ranked Orb Rush. Practice, Today's Top 5, and Weekly Survival don't move Elo or feed the nightly draws. See Today's Top 5, Weekly Survival & Leaderboards.
