Hi VGolf -- You're gettin' juiced, I can tell, good to see.
Once you've added the beta flag and it's finished the then current WU and started a new one, you'll know for sure it's operational if obviously a) it picks up a 8057, or less obviously b) it picks up a 8018 which is the other beta right now but is a non-screamer. I guess a third option would be if it gets 765x which suck for everybody (50% fewer points) but they get assigned if the beta server is out of commission.
That's the current offering anyway. Technically you're only supposed to use that flag if you're on the beta team, so after this episode you should really join the team or remove the flag. For now though, why shouldn't you have your shot at the big money. Hope you get one, and faster than I did. Nice once you do though.
