Frequently asked questions
The questions we’re asked most about Pure Predictions — how the game works, what it costs (nothing), and how to play against your friends.
What is Pure Predictions?
Pure Predictions is a free online football prediction game. You predict the exact score of every match in competitions like the Premier League and EFL Championship, earn points for every correct call, and climb weekly and season-long leaderboards against friends, clubs and everyone else playing.
Is Pure Predictions free to play?
Yes — completely free. There is no entry fee, no subscription and no in-app purchases; the game is supported by sponsorship. You play for points, weekly honours and a place on the leaderboard.
Is Pure Predictions a betting site?
No. Pure Predictions involves no gambling of any kind — no stakes, no odds, nothing to deposit and nothing to lose. Playing is always free, and while we may award prizes or vouchers, they will only ever be won on prediction skill or participation — never bought with an entry fee.
How does the scoring work?
Every match prediction can earn up to four points: one for the correct home score, one for the correct away score, one for the correct result (win, draw or loss), and a bonus point when your scoreline is exactly right. Booster cards add bonus points on top, and predicting the final league table is scored as a competition of its own.
Which competitions can I predict?
The line-up changes through the year. The Premier League and EFL Championship are the regulars, joined by international tournaments such as the World Cup while they are on. See what’s open for predictions.
Can I play against just my friends?
Yes. Create a private league and share one invite link — every prediction is scored automatically, and any leaderboard, live match board or head-to-head can be filtered to just your members. It works like an office sweepstake without the spreadsheet. Create a private league.
What are clubs?
Clubs are squads of up to eight players competing together. Each week the club’s five best scores count towards the club leaderboard, so recruiting well and rotating the squad matters as much as your own predictions. Browse the clubs.
What are booster cards?
Each tournament week deals you a hand of four booster cards from a pool of eight. Play one on a match and you earn bonus points if its event happens — a red card, a clean sheet, four or more goals, an early goal and more.
When do predictions lock?
At kickoff. You can enter or change a prediction any time before a match starts; once it kicks off it is locked, and your points update live as the match plays out.
How does Pure Predictions compare to games like Super 6 or Superbru?
They are all free football prediction games; the differences are in the play. On Pure Predictions you predict every match of a competition rather than a chosen handful, near-misses score as well as exact scorelines, booster cards add a weekly tactical layer, and clubs and private leagues are built in. There are also no betting-brand tie-ins — the game is entirely gambling-free.
How do I sign up?
With just an email address — there is no password to remember. Sign in with a one-time code or a passkey, pick a nickname, and you join a tournament’s leaderboard automatically the moment you save your first prediction. Sign up free.
