Where there is a conflict between the Terms and the Score Predictor Betting Rules, the Score Predictor Betting Rules apply.

1. Game Overview

The Score Predictor is a pool-betting game where players predict the outcomes of selected football matches. Points are awarded based on the accuracy of predictions, and players compete on a real-time leaderboard. The person with the most points will win the entire pool. If multiple players achieve the same top score, the pool will be equally split among them.

2. How to Enter

2.1 Entry Requirements:

2.1.1 To participate, for each submission players must submit score predictions for all matches in the event. For the purposes of these rules, an 'event' refers to a set of pre-selected matches grouped together for scoring. Each individual 'match' within the event contributes to the overall result.
2.1.2 To participate, players must pay an entry fee for each submission. The exact entry fee amount will vary by event and will be clearly displayed on the platform before players commit to placing a bet. Players can use either their deposit balance or bonus funds to pay the entry fee. Free bets cannot be used for entry fee payments.
2.2 Entry Deadline:
2.2.1 Entries must be submitted before the applicable deadline for the event. The exact submission deadline will vary by event and will be clearly displayed on the platform before players commit to placing a bet. Late entries will not be accepted.
2.3 Multiple Entries:
2.3.1 Players may submit only one entry per event. Any additional entries will be voided.

3. Predicting Match Results

3.1 For each event, players must predict the exact scoreline of all pre-selected football matches. Participants may amend their predictions via the platform for any fixture at any time prior to the applicable event’s entry deadline. Once the entry deadline for an event has passed, all selections are considered final, and no further changes will be permitted.

3.2 Scoring Rules:

Full-Time Result:
- 3.2.1 The full-time result is based on the score after 90 minutes of regulation play, including any injury time.
- 3.2.2 Note: Extra time and penalty shootouts do not affect the final score for the purposes of this game.

3.3 Scoring System:

3.3.1 Twenty-five (25) Points will be awarded for correctly predicting the exact scoreline of a match.
3.3.2 Five **(**5) Points will be awarded for correctly predicting the correct match result (e.g., win/draw) only if the exact scoreline is not predicted correctly. If the exact scoreline is correctly predicted, 25 points will be awarded, and no additional points will be given for the match result.

4. Leaderboard and Prize Pool

4.1 Points are tallied in real-time for each individual event (game week), and players are ranked on a live leaderboard based on their total points for that game week. Real-time leaderboard updates are provided for informational purposes only and may be subject to delays. Final rankings will be determined only after all matches in the event have concluded. Stats are reset at the end of each game week.
4.2 The final leaderboard is locked after all matches in the event conclude.
4.3 Upon finalisation, the results will be posted in the participant’s "Settled Bets" section.
4.4 Prize Pool Calculation
- 4.4.1 To ensure a guaranteed minimum prize pool, SportsBroker will seed the prize pool at the start of each event.
- 4.4.2 A commission of up to 20% will be applied to the total entry fees collected. However, if applying the full 20% commission would cause the prize pool to fall below the guaranteed amount, the commission rate will be reduced to ensure the prize pool remains at the guaranteed amount. Example Scenarios:
  - Scenario 1: Entry Fees Below Guarantee
    - Entry Fees: £400
    - Guaranteed Prize Pool: £500 for example
    - Commission: 0%
    - Payout: £500
  - Scenario 2: Entry Fees Slightly Above Guarantee
    - Entry Fees: £505
    - Guaranteed Prize Pool: £500 for example
    - Commission: 1% (£5)
    - Payout: £500 (guarantee protected)
  - Scenario 3: Entry Fees Well Above Guarantee
    - Entry Fees: £700
    - Guaranteed Prize Pool: £500 for example
    - Commission: 20% (£140)
    - Payout: £560
4.5 Prize Distribution Options
- 4.5.1 Score Predictor events may use one of two prize distribution methods:
  - 4.5.1.1"Winner Takes All" Method: The player with the highest total points wins the entire prize pool. If multiple players achieve the same top score, the prize pool will be equally split among the tied players.
  - 4.5.1.2 "Top 3 Places" Method:
    - In this method, prizes are a percentage of the total prize pool, and ties impact distribution. Generally, prizes are split among the top 3 players, with ties splitting their position’s share. If multiple players tie for 1st place, lower-ranking positions may receive a smaller or no payout. See the full rules below for details.
    - In this method, prizes are distributed among the top three players based on their rankings:
      - 1st place: 70% of the total prize pool.
      - 2nd place: 20% of the total prize pool.
      - 3rd place: 10% of the total prize pool.
    - If multiple players tie for a position, they share the allocated percentage for that position equally.
  - 4.5.1.2.1 Tied Scores and Prize Splitting. In cases where multiple players finish with the same number of points in prize-winning positions, the following rules apply.
    - If multiple players tie for a prize-winning position, the prize pool allocated to that position is split equally among the tied players.
    - If the number of tied players exceeds the number of prize-winning positions, the total prize pool for those positions is combined and split equally.
    - When players tie in a ranking position, they all share that position and the ones below it, causing the next available rank to skip down accordingly.

9. “Correct Score Jackpot” Feature

9.1 The "Correct Score Jackpot" is a bonus feature within the Score Predictor game. It allows participants to win a £5,000 bonus prize if they correctly predict the exact scorelines of five pre-selected matches within an applicable Score Predictor event. The feature may not be available in all Score Predictor events. Where available, it will be clearly indicated on the event page.
9.2 There is no additional entry fee for "Correct Score Jackpot." Participation is automatic for all players who submit valid predictions for the full set of matches in a Score Predictor event. No separate selections are required; the "Correct Score Jackpot" predictions are automatically derived from the same predictions submitted for the main Score Predictor event.
9.3
- 9.3.1 To win the "Correct Score Jackpot" bonus prize, a participant must correctly predict the exact scorelines of the five designated matches. If multiple participants correctly predict all five scores, the £5,000 prize will be equally split among the winners. If no participant correctly predicts all five scores, the "Correct Score Jackpot" prize will not be awarded for that event.Participants may amend their predictions via the platform for any fixture at any time prior to the applicable event’s entry deadline. Once the entry deadline for an event has passed, all selections are considered final, and no further changes will be permitted.
- 9.3.2 If any of the pre-selected matches are cancelled, postponed, or do not complete 90 minutes of play, those matches will not count toward "Correct Score Jackpot" eligibility. As a result, if fewer than five eligible matches remain, the "Correct Score Jackpot" bonus will not be awarded for that event.
- 9.3.3 If the overall Score Predictor event is voided due to the cancellation of four or more matches (as per Section 5.2), the "Correct Score Jackpot" bonus will also be voided. No winnings will be awarded for "Correct Score Jackpot" in this scenario.
- 9.3.4 If the £5,000 Correct Score Jackpot prize is not awarded for an event, the prize is neither rolled over to future events, forfeited, nor redirected to any other prize pool. The prize will simply not be distributed for that event.
9.4 The £5,000 prize is fully funded by SportsBroker and not derived from the player entry pool. Payouts are processed manually after result verification and within 24 hours of the final match conclusion. Winning participants will receive funds directly into their wallet, and these are separate from the main Score Predictor leaderboard prize distribution.
9.5 As above, the full-time result is based on the score after 90 minutes of regulation play, including any injury time. Extra time and penalty shootouts do not affect the final score for the purposes of this feature. Results are based on official match data provided by third-party data providers.In rare instances, official scoring data from our third-party providers may be amended after the conclusion of an event. Any such amendments will not affect payouts for events that have already been settled.
