Arcade: how Leagues work based on your leaderboard position
Leagues are a huge new feature: a parallel competition to the Championship, based on the same Leaderboard but with prizes awarded through a lucky draw. This means more chances to win!
To qualify for a League, you must rank among the top 2,000 players. The higher your rank, the more prestigious the League, and the better the prizes up for grabs. Discover the 3 Leagues (Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire) and what you can win.
Prizes up for grabs
League prizes are distributed via a lucky draw once the Championship ends (July 20th). Here’s what you can win in each League:
Diamond League (1st – 100th place)
You have a 21% chance of winning!
- 1 experience at Villa Crespi with Chef Cannavacciuolo
- 20 Young Platform hoodies
One in five is guaranteed to win.
Ruby League (101st – 500th place)
You have an 11% chance of winning!
- 40 Young Platform t-shirts
- 5 annual Forbes subscriptions
One in ten wins.
Sapphire League (501st – 2,000th place)
You have a 4% chance of winning.
- 60 Young Platform caps
- A special extra surprise prize!
When do the Leagues take place?
The Leagues run parallel to the Championship:
- Start: Monday, April 20th at 2:00 PM
- End: Monday, July 20th at 2:00 PM
Your final ranking on July 20th will determine which League you fall into.
The lucky draw system
Once your League is determined, prizes are distributed through a random draw. This means:
- Your rank within the League doesn’t matter — the 1st place has the exact same odds as the 100th place
- The odds are equal for all participants in the same League
- The higher the League, the better your chances of winning
For example, if your final ranking on July 20th is 78th, you would enter the Diamond League.
While in the Championship the first-place winner would get a Rolex Oyster and the 78th place nothing, the mechanism in the Leagues is different: you and the first-place winner have the exact same chance of winning a final prize.
1 game, 3 separate prize pools
Arcade offers you a “three-in-one” experience. What does this mean? By completing Quests and collecting Gems, you are simultaneously working to climb the Championship Leaderboard, gain access to one of the three Leagues, and collect Tournament Tickets.
Simply put: you are traveling down three distinct paths leading to three separate prize pools at the same time, all fueled by a single activity.
- Championship — win based on your rank (fixed prizes for the top 20)
- Leagues — win via a lucky draw (odds vary by League)
- Tournaments — win via a lucky draw using the Tickets you’ve earned
The most crucial element: collecting Gems
Both the Championship and the Leagues depend on your position on the Leaderboard, which in turn depends on your accumulated Gems. You can collect Gems in 6 ways:
- Completing Quests
- Receiving Gift Gems
- Finding Combo Challenges
- Collecting Trophies
- Holding YNG (having YNG Tokens in your wallet)
- Participating in all Tournaments

Leagues offer an extraordinary opportunity: even if you don’t make it to the top 20 in the Championship, you still have a great chance to win incredible prizes simply by climbing the Leaderboard.
Remember: it’s not about where you place within your League, it’s about making it into one. Luck will take care of the rest!
There’s nothing more to add, we’ll wrap it up here: Arcade goes live at 2:00 PM on April 20th, so all that’s left is to wish you good luck. Catch you on our social channels for updates on Arcade, the Championship, and Tournaments, including draws, new prizes, and the latest news.
