Hard Rock Bet Owns $5K Trivia Night Trivia
Every week, Hard Rock Casino and partner Playtech host a live trivia night where participants win a portion of a $5,000 prize pot if they answer seven out of 10 questions. Last week, a mistake handed every participant $5,000, instead of clawing back the amounts Hard Rock let everyone keep the money.

Hard Rock Casino Owns Its Mistake
Hard Rock has hosted these Live Trivia nights weekly since late May without a hitch, but last week winners were unexpectedly $5,000 richers. Anecdotally, everyone knows what comes next: a corporate letter apologizing for the mistake and the funds recouped from your account.
That's not what Hard Rock decided. According to Executive Managing Director and President of Hard Rock Bet Matt Primeaux, the company's response to the mistake was quick and decisive: "The awards stand." A shockingly positive outcome for players.
It's a result that had players praising the company. Brandy Lee Brown-Wikel told NJ.com she's been playing Live Trivia for weeks, and Hard Rock's decision to let the players keep the money proves the company's integrity: "You didn’t have to do that, and most companies wouldn’t have. But you stood by it, did the right thing, and showed a ton of integrity."
Hard Rock Live Trivia
Hard Rock Casino's Live Trivia operates weekly on Wednesday night at 8 pm ET. To gain access to the game, log into your Hard Rock Bet account and select "Live Dealer". You'll only see the "Live Dealer" option 24 hours before the contest is set to begin. Live Trivia is free to play and does not require a buy-in.
Live trivia is currently only available in New Jersey.
To win, simply answer at least seven out of ten true or false questions correctly. All of the winners will then receive an equal portion of the $5,000 prize pool.
New Sportsbook Feature
On July 1, Hard Rock Sportsbook announced a new feature: The Hundred. A feature that could see you and 99 other Hard Rock players' bets boosted by up to 500%.
Here's how it works. Log in to your Hard Rock Sportsbook account on mobile (this feature is not available on desktop). Once in, you'll see an orange widget in the middle of the homepage where you'll find the latest 500% boosted bets. Be quick because only 100 players can bet on each boosted bet.
Note that these boosted bets have a $5 minimum and $25 maximum.
