Monetag Champions Cup 2026: $10,000 Prize Pool for Publishers

How Does the Monetag Champions Cup Work?

The idea is straightforward: publishers continue earning with Monetag as usual, while their earnings can count toward one of three competition categories.

There is no separate publisher account to create and no additional monetization setup required.

Publishers simply submit the email associated with their Monetag account on the promotion page. Monetag automatically matches the email to the corresponding account.

After that, publishers can continue using their existing monetization setup.

All Monetag ad formats and traffic sources count toward Promo earnings.

That means publishers don't need to switch formats or change their traffic strategy specifically for the competition.

Three Nominations for Different Types of Publishers

One of the main features of the Champions Cup is that it isn't based on a single leaderboard.

There are three different nominations, each designed around a different publisher profile.

1. Golden Boot

The Golden Boot is for publishers who registered with Monetag before July 2, 2026.

The ranking is based on the publisher's highest average daily earnings during the Contest Period.

The top three prizes are:

• 🥇 $2,000 gift card
• 🥈 $1,000 gift card
• 🥉 $500 gift card

This category gives established publishers a chance to compete based on their earnings performance during the promotion.

2. Fan's Choice — Matchday Draw

The Fan's Choice nomination is open to every active publisher, regardless of registration date.

Here's how it works:

Publishers who make it into the top 20 earners during any two-week period are automatically entered into a live draw.

And the opportunity doesn't stop after one period.

Each new two-week period creates another chance to qualify for the draw.

There are five prizes of branded football merchandise worth $700 each.

This makes Fan's Choice particularly interesting for publishers who want multiple opportunities to qualify throughout the two-month promotion.

3. Debut of the Season

The Debut of the Season nomination is designed for newer Monetag publishers.

It's open to publishers who registered on or after July 2, 2026.

Instead of comparing their earnings directly with established publishers, the category measures percentage earnings growth against the publisher's own July 1 – August 31 baseline.

Three winners will receive:

🎟️ Champions League Round of 16 match tickets, worth up to $1,000 each

The match is assigned according to the winner's GEO. Travel and accommodation are not included.

No Need to Change Your Monetization Setup

For publishers, one of the simpler aspects of the promotion is that participation doesn't require a new monetization strategy.

All Monetag ad formats count.

All traffic sources count.

Publishers can therefore continue using the formats and traffic sources that already work for their audience.

For publishers experimenting with multiple monetization formats, this also means the earnings generated across their eligible Monetag activity can contribute to their Promo performance.

One Email Is All You Need to Enter

Participation is designed to take just one step.

Publishers need to visit the Champions Cup landing page and submit the email associated with their Monetag account.

There is no separate registration process.

Once the email is matched to the Monetag account, publishers can continue earning normally throughout the Contest Period.
