Official Rules

Last updated: 16 June 2026

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning. The PreddyHub World Cup 2026 prediction prizes (the "Promotion") are free to enter and open to eligible participants only. By entering, you agree to these Official Rules and to the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Promotion.

1. Sponsor

The Promotion is sponsored by PreddyHub (the "Sponsor").

2. Eligibility

The Promotion is open to individuals who are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in their place of residence, whichever is greater) at the time of entry. Employees of the Sponsor and their immediate family or household members are not eligible.

The Promotion is void where prohibited or restricted by law. It is not open to residents of any territory where prize promotions of this kind are unlawful. You are responsible for complying with the laws of your own jurisdiction; if entry is not lawful where you live, do not enter.

3. Promotion period

The Promotion runs from the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup until the 2026 FIFA World Cup final on 19 July 2026 (the "Promotion Period"). Each match closes for predictions at its scheduled kick-off time; a prediction submitted after a match has kicked off does not count for that match.

4. How to enter (free)

To enter, create a free account on PreddyHub (sign in with Google or with a passwordless link sent to your email — no password and no payment) and submit ("Lock in") your predicted scorelines for World Cup 2026 matches before each match kicks off. Only locked-in predictions made while signed in count toward the prizes. There is no entry fee and nothing to buy.

5. Prizes

  • Scoreline Challenge — up to $50,000 USD total. Each eligible participant who finishes the Promotion Period at 80% or higher scoreline-prediction accuracy (subject to the minimum number of scored matches stated on the site) wins $5,000 USD, up to a maximum of ten (10) winners. If more than ten eligible participants reach the 80% threshold, the ten with the highest accuracy win.
  • Round competitions — $1,000 USD per round (through the Round of 16). Each eligible round runs its own competition scored only on that round's matches: the three group-stage matchdays (60% or higher round accuracy) and the Round of 16 (75% or higher round accuracy — knockout fields are smaller, so the bar is higher). To be eligible for a round, you must lock in predictions for at least 80% of that round's matches (the exact minimum is shown on the leaderboard for each round). Each eligible participant who meets both conditions wins the round prize. Round accuracy and your matches-predicted count are shown on that round's leaderboard. From the quarter-finals onward there are no per-round prizes — see the Final Stretch prize below.
  • The Final Stretch — $10,000 USD + 100 collectible cases. Predict the exact 90-minute scoreline of all seven remaining knockout matches — the four quarter-finals, both semi-finals and the final (the third-place match is not included) — with every prediction locked before that match's kick-off. Any participant who calls all seven exactly wins $10,000 USD and 100 collectible cases, awarded after the final. Extra time and penalties do not count toward the scoreline; scoring follows the site's 90-minute rule.
  • Collectible case — free, per perfect prediction. Predicting an exact scoreline (a "100" on a match) earns a free collectible case. Cases and the items inside are cosmetic only, have no cash value, and do not affect any cash prize or ranking.
  • Perfect Bracket — $10,000 USD. The perfect-bracket prize for World Cup 2026 closed to new entries at the first kick-off of the tournament and is shown for information only; no new bracket entries are accepted.

Prizes have no cash-equivalent substitution except at the Sponsor's discretion. Only one prize per person. Any applicable taxes on a prize are the sole responsibility of the winner, and the Sponsor may require tax documentation before paying a prize.

6. Odds of winning

The prizes are skill-based: outcomes depend on the accuracy of participants' predictions, not on chance. Odds of winning depend on the number and skill of eligible participants.

7. Winner selection and notification

Predictions are scored automatically against official full-time results, and the leaderboard is ranked by the published metric. After the Promotion Period the Sponsor will verify the leading eligible entries and contact the winner using the email associated with their account. If a winner cannot be contacted, does not respond within 14 days, is found ineligible, or declines the prize, the Sponsor may select the next eligible participant. In the event of a tie, the Sponsor will apply the tie-break stated on the site (or, if none, select among tied participants at the Sponsor's reasonable discretion).

8. Cosmetic rewards and collectibles

Any in-game balls, cases, badges or other collectibles on PreddyHub are free, earned through play, and purely cosmetic. They have no cash value, cannot be purchased, and do not affect a participant's standing for any prize.

9. Fair play, security and anti-fraud

  • PreddyHub's server-side records are the sole authoritative record of every prediction and the exact time it was locked. Anything shown in a browser, screenshot, email, message, or cached page is not proof of an entry; only the server record counts.
  • Predictions lock at each match's kick-off and cannot be changed afterwards. Any attempt to add, change, delete, backdate, or unlock a prediction after its lock time — including by exploiting a bug, automating requests, manipulating the site or its API, or accessing any account without authorization — voids the affected entries and may disqualify the participant from all prizes.
  • The Sponsor may withhold, void, reverse, or refuse any prize, and disqualify any participant, where it reasonably determines that fraud, cheating, prediction tampering, account compromise, multiple or fake accounts, collusion, or any other breach of fair play has occurred. The Sponsor's determination on these matters is final.
  • No prize is owed on any entry that results from unauthorized access, security exploits, or manipulation, regardless of what a leaderboard, screenshot, or message may appear to show. Unauthorized access to the site, its systems, or other participants' accounts is prohibited and may be reported to the relevant authorities.
  • Prizes are paid only after the Sponsor verifies the winner's identity and eligibility and confirms the integrity of their entries against the authoritative server records.

10. General conditions

The Sponsor may disqualify any participant who tampers with the entry process, submits fraudulent entries, or violates these Official Rules or the Terms of Service. The Sponsor may modify, suspend, or cancel the Promotion if it cannot be run as planned. The Promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with FIFA, Adidas, or any football association, broadcaster, or platform referenced on the site.

11. Privacy

Information you provide is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
