Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before your first season.
Is LeaguePredict free?+
Yes. It's free to play. We keep the lights on with ads, an optional ad-removal subscription, and donations.
Do I have to predict every match?+
In a classic pool you predict every fixture, and you can fill them in any time before each kick-off. Survivor and Bracket pools only ask for one pick per round.
When do predictions lock?+
Each fixture locks at its own kick-off. There is no single season deadline, so you can start predicting whenever you join.
Can I join a pool after the season has started?+
Yes. You simply can't predict matches that have already kicked off — everything still to come is open.
What's the difference between a private pool and the house competition?+
Private pools are invite-only for you and your friends. Every league also has one open house competition that anyone can join, with a prize at the end of the season.
How does scoring work?+
Each pool picks one of seven scoring rules when it's created — from exact-score systems to winner-only, closeness, total-goals, both-teams-to-score, and an underdog bonus.
What are Survivor and Bracket?+
Survivor: each round you pick one team that must not lose, and the last player standing wins. Bracket: you call who advances through every knockout round of a cup.
Which competitions are supported?+
Ten leagues — La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Eredivisie, Ligat Ha'al, Liga Profesional, Série A and J1 League — plus five cups: Champions League, Europa League, World Cup, Euro Championship and Copa América. More are planned.
Is this gambling?+
No. There is no entry fee or stake and you never bet money on matches. It's a prediction game for bragging rights.
How do I get the app?+
It runs in your browser today, and native iOS and Android apps are on the way.
Can I delete my account?+
Yes, from Settings. Deleting your account removes your predictions, pool memberships and standings.
How do I report a bug or get in touch?+
Use the in-app Help screen or the Contact page and we'll reply by email.
