How to Play

Sweep Organisers

It's easy to set-up and manage your sweep:

  • Click any of the Register links anywhere on My Cup Sweep and complete your details. You will receive an email containing your Organiser login details.


  • After you Login for the first time you will be prompted to choose the number of Sweeps by $ value that you want to run and also the prize money weighting for the Emirates Melbourne Cup runners that finish 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Last. You will receive another email containing the details of the Sweeps you set up here. Contained in that email will be your Sweep Link which you will send to friends, family or workmates to make selections in your Sweeps.


  • Your friends, family or workmates will then click on that link in the email they receive from you to complete their details and select the number of horses they wish to have in your Sweep. (Note - the responsibility of collecting and distributing monies from Players is the Organisers responsibility)


  • My Cup Sweep will randomly allocate horse(s) to Players depending on how many they wish to select in your Sweep.


  • If you choose to run multiple Sweeps, My Cup Sweep will automatically open new Sweeps as your friends fill them up with selections. For example - if you select to run 3 $2 Sweeps, My Cup Sweep will open the first Sweep right away and once all 24 runners have been selected it will close that Sweep and automatically open the second $2 Sweep and so on into the third $2 Sweep.


  • All Sweeps not completely filled by the jump of the Emirates Melbourne Cup at approximately 3pm (AEDT) on Tuesday 3rd November 2009 will be cancelled.


  • Go to Sweep management to view reports by Sweep and Player to see how your Sweeps are going.


  • All Players will receive a Results Announcement email to notify everyone of the Emirates Melbourne Cup winner and the prize winners for each of your Sweeps shortly after the conclusion of the race on Tuesday 3rd November 2009
