How it works

Four steps

Choose a username and open any upcoming match.
Pick home, draw or away — and optionally an exact score. You can change it until kick-off.
When the match ends, your pick is scored on the 90-minute result.
Collect points, badges and streaks; compete on weekly, monthly, season and all-time leaderboards and in private leagues.

Scoring

+3Correct resultHome win, draw or away win — as at the end of normal time.

+4Exact score bonusHit the exact score for a total of 7 points.

+1Underdog bonusIf fewer than 25% of players picked the correct result (in matches with at least 10 picks), everyone who called it gets a bonus. Only established accounts count towards this share.

Examples

You pick a home win and the match ends 2–1+3

You predict 2–1 and the match ends 2–1+7

You pick an away win that fewer than 25% picked — and it happens+4

Details

Lock

Picks lock automatically at kick-off and can't be changed afterwards. A match that starts early locks as soon as it goes live.

90-minute result

Results and exact scores use the score at the end of normal time. A match decided in extra time or on penalties counts as a draw.

Void picks

If a match is cancelled, abandoned, awarded or postponed for more than a few days, picks are voided — no points either way and streaks are unaffected. A pick saved after the match had actually kicked off (for example while the live feed lagged) is voided too.

Leaderboards

Weekly (Monday–Sunday), monthly, season and all-time tables, overall and per competition. Ties share a rank; more correct results, then more exact scores, then fewer picks come first.

Private leagues

Create a league, share the invite code and compete with friends. Only matches that start after you join count in a league. Owners can remove members; removed members can't rejoin with the code unless the owner allows it.

Streaks

Consecutive correct results build a streak; a wrong result resets it. Badges reward 5 and 10 in a row.

Live chat rules

Chat rooms move fast; the rules are enforced automatically and by moderators so everyone can enjoy the conversation.

Only signed-in members can see and write in chat.
Messages with profanity, slang or insults are not sent and lead to a chat ban that grows with every repeat (min: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 …). The counter resets after 24 hours without offenses.
Sharing links (other than our site), phone numbers, e-mails or messenger handles isn't allowed: a warning the first time, a chat ban on a repeat within 24 hours.
Repeating messages, shouting in capitals, emoji / character floods and rapid-fire posting are blocked; persistent flooding leads to a ban. Busy rooms switch to slow mode automatically.
Writing from a new account while banned is detected; such accounts' messages are held for review.
Match rooms close 30 minutes after full time and become read-only.
