Scoring
What points are worth
Each fixture has four markets you can predict. Every market is scored on its own and summed — base points reflect how hard the call is.

Exact score
Nail the exact final score. The toughest prediction on the board — and the one that pays the most.
25base points
HT/FT
Half-Time/Full-Time
Call the result at half time AND full time — every leg must land. On a knockout a full-time draw adds an extra-time leg, and a level extra time adds a penalties leg; the base grows with each: 15 → 22 → 29.

Confidence multiplier
The bolder the call, the bigger the reward
The less likely your pick is, the more it rewards. Your score is base × multiplier, locked in the instant you submit — running from 1× (near-certain) up to a cap of 3× (a long shot) — up to 5× for some markets.

Perfect-pick bonus
One bonus, boosted for fuller slates
There’s just one bonus — the Perfect Pick: land every market you picked on a fixture and you bank a flat bonus on top. The richer your slate, the more that bonus boosts. Accuracy is rewarded, so playing it safe is never punished; miss any leg and the bonus is gone.
- +8The bonusPerfect Pick
The bonus: every market you picked on a fixture lands (1 or 2 markets).
- +11BoostTrio Boost
Boosts the bonus when all three markets land on one fixture (add a Goalscorer to a 2-market pick).
- +20BoostUltra Boost
The top boost — a maximal slate all lands: Exact score + Goalscorer, or Result + Both to score + a goals line + Goalscorer.
Picking & locking
What you can pick, and when it locks
Mix your markets within the rules, and keep editing right up until each fixture kicks off.
Pick combinations
Per fixture, you can submit any one of:
- Any market on its own — the simplest pick
- Match Result + Both to score
- Match Result + Goals
- Both to score + Goals
- Exact score on its own — stands alone — no core combos
- Goalscorer on top of any pick — an add-on — even alongside Exact score
The rule: at most two of Match Result, Both to score and Goals can be combined, and Exact score never joins those. Goalscorer sits outside that cap — add it to any pick, including Exact score.
Closing knockout rounds: at a World Cup or Champions League semi-final, third-place play-off or final, a single-market pick isn't allowed — you must submit the full slate.
When picks lock
Each fixture locks at its own kick-off — not when the round starts. You can keep predicting the other fixtures in a round right up until each one kicks off.
Locks at kick-off
Per fixture — not per round
Once a fixture has kicked off, its pick is final.
The World Cup road
From the groups to the Final
A round is one tournament round — all of its fixtures, ordered by kick-off — and a single round can span several days. As each round is scored, your league standings move and the bracket advances through all nine stages.
Road to the Final

- G2
- G3
- R32

- 3rd
- Final
Three group rounds, then straight knockout: Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, the 3rd-Place Final and the Final.
Knockout scoring
Extra time & penalties
Knockout ties can go to extra time and a shootout. Here's exactly how those fixtures are scored — group rounds and any 90-minute game are unaffected.
Match Result — who goes through
On a knockout game you back the team to go through — the side that advances, penalties included. If the tie is level after extra time and settled on penalties, the team that goes through is the winner.
No Draw option: the knockouts can’t end level, so Draw isn’t offered on those fixtures — you pick a team to advance.
Score, Both to score & Goals
Exact score, Both to score and Goals (2.5 & 3.5) are scored on the score at the end of extra time. The penalty shootout does not count towards the scoreline.
Worked example: 1–1 after extra time, won on penalties → still scored 1–1. Both scored, 2 or fewer Goals, 3 or fewer Goals.
Goalscorer
A Goalscorer pick lands on goals scored in normal time or extra time.
Shootout penalties don’t count — only goals during play, through the end of extra time, settle a Goalscorer pick.
