How Points Work
Last updated: May 28, 2026
What points are
When you make a prediction, you stake virtual points — an in-game score, like a high score in any video game. Points are not money and cannot be exchanged for money or anything of value. They simply track how well your predictions do.
How points move
- Good calls: When your prediction is correct, your score goes up.
- Missed calls: When your prediction is wrong, your score goes down. Either way, no real money is ever involved.
- Leaderboard: Your points determine your rank against other players. It is bragging rights, not a bank balance.
- Fresh starts: Points may be reset between seasons so everyone can compete on a level playing field.
What this is not
- Not gambling, betting, or wagering — you never risk money.
- Not a financial or investment product. Nothing here is financial advice.
- Not a way to win, deposit, or withdraw money. There are no cash prizes.
- Not a store of value. Points cannot be bought, sold, transferred, or redeemed.
No money, ever
There are no deposits, no withdrawals, no fees, and no purchases required to play. The game is free from start to finish, and points stay inside the game.
How events settle
Each event is scored against the public outcome source listed on its page. If a source is delayed or ambiguous, settlement may be delayed while we confirm the result. The operator's final determination is binding for scoring purposes.
Just a game
Because points have no monetary value, there is no financial risk, no balance to protect, and nothing to insure. If you stop playing, you lose nothing but your place on the leaderboard.
Play responsibly
The Service is meant to be a fun, low-stakes way to test your instincts. Enjoy it in moderation and take breaks — it is entertainment, not a source of income.
The bottom line
Nothing you do here can cost you money. Points are for entertainment and bragging rights only, and they carry no cash value of any kind.
