Ways to play
WCWins has several game modes:
Each mode may have its own scoring rules, lock times, and settlement logic.
WINS economy
WINS are virtual points used only inside WCWins.
Prediction stakes, fantasy entries, market positions, league costs, and rewards are recorded in your Wallet ledger. If an error, duplicate settlement, or official correction occurs, admins may reverse, adjust, or re-settle affected entries.
Match Predictions
For each match, you may predict one or more of the following:
3.1Full-time result / 1X2
You can predict Home win, Draw, or Away win.
If odds are available, payouts use the displayed odds at the time your pick is locked.
3.2Exact score
You can predict the exact final score. Suggested scoring:
Maximum exact-score reward: +500 WINS.
3.3Total goals / Over–Under
You can predict whether the total goals will be over or under selected lines.
- 0.5 goals
- 1.5 goals
- 2.5 goals
- 3.5 goals
- 4.5 goals
- 25 WINS
- 50 WINS
- 100 WINS
- 200 WINS
- 300 WINS
Higher-risk lines may pay more WINS. If API-Football odds are available for totals, WCWins may use those odds or its internal WINS scoring ladder.
3.4Goalscorer predictions
You can predict a player to score in the match.
- Confirmed lineups, when available
- API-Football squad / player data
- Top scorer lists
- WCWins fallback data if live data is unavailable
If the selected player scores according to the official match feed, the prediction wins.
If a player is not in the final match squad, WCWins may mark the pick as void, locked, or unresolved depending on the state shown before kickoff.
3.5Match lock time
Match predictions lock at kickoff. After kickoff:
- You cannot add new picks for that match
- You cannot edit locked picks
- You cannot cancel locked picks
- Settlement is based on the official provider data used by WCWins
Tournament Predictor
The Tournament page lets you predict the whole World Cup structure. You can:
- Rank teams in each group
- Pick the best third-place qualifiers
- Fill the Round of 32
- Advance teams through the knockout bracket
- Pick the champion
4.1Group-stage scoring
4.2Knockout scoring
Partial credit may be awarded if you correctly predict a team reaching a round, even if the exact matchup differs.
Tournament predictions may lock in stages. WCWins may lock group predictions before the first match and knockout picks before the relevant knockout round begins.
Predict Markets
Predict Markets are virtual WINS markets. They are not betting markets and have no cash value.
- World Cup Winner
- Top Goalscorer
- Top Assists
Prices may be seeded from external reference odds, including API-Football bookmaker odds where available. After launch, prices may move based on user activity, liquidity, and WCWins market rules.
5.1Market positions
You may use WINS to back outcomes such as:
- A team to win the World Cup
- A player to finish as top goalscorer
- A player to finish with most assists
Your position is recorded in your Wallet ledger.
5.2Price movement
Market prices may move based on:
- Starting reference odds
- Seeded WCWins liquidity
- User demand
- Market imbalance
- Admin risk controls
- Provider data updates
If a market moves too far from reference prices or official data becomes unreliable, WCWins may suspend that market temporarily.
5.3Market settlement
Markets settle after the official competition result is known. Examples:
- World Cup Winner settles after the final
- Top Goalscorer settles after the official ranking is confirmed
- Top Assists settles after the official ranking is confirmed
If official sources apply tie-breakers, WCWins follows the official provider result where possible. If provider data is unclear, admins may delay settlement until the result is verified.
Fantastic 7 Fantasy
Fantastic 7 is a daily fantasy game mode.
You build a lineup of 7 players from the available player pool. Lineup rules may include position limits, team limits, budget limits, or fixture-day limits depending on the contest.
6.1Fantasy scoring
Fantasy scoring may use official match events and player statistics, including:
- Goals
- Assists
- Clean sheets
- Saves
- Cards
- Minutes played
- Own goals
- Penalties scored / missed
- Player ratings
- Match stats where available
Exact point values are shown inside the Fantastic 7 page when contests are active.
6.2Lineup lock
Fantasy lineups lock at the contest deadline, usually at kickoff of the first relevant match.
After lock:
- You cannot edit the lineup
- Players who do not play may score 0
- Late lineup / news changes are part of the game risk unless WCWins explicitly voids a contest
6.3Slate prizes
Fantastic 7 slate prizes are paid through the Wallet ledger 12 hours after the last match in the slate starts, and only after player data for every slate match has been synced.
Fan Zone
Fan Zone contains community activities such as:
- Polls
- Fan votes
- Challenges
- Streaks
- Community predictions
- Social game events
Fan Zone rewards may vary by event. Some Fan Zone activities may give WINS, badges, leaderboard points, or cosmetic status. WCWins may remove abusive, automated, duplicate, or manipulated Fan Zone activity.
Leagues
You can join public leagues or create private leagues.
- Global leagues
- Country leagues
- Friend leagues
- Private invite-only leagues
- Game-mode-specific leagues
Creating a private league may cost WINS. Joining rules are shown before entry. League chats, if available, must follow fair-play and anti-abuse rules — spam, harassment, multi-accounting, referral farming, or manipulation may result in removal.
Leaderboards
Leaderboards may be split by:
- Overall
- Match Predictions
- Tournament Predictor
- Predict Markets
- Fantastic 7
- Fan Zone
- Daily
- Weekly
- All-time
- Country
- League
Leaderboard positions may change after official settlement, corrections, voids, reversals, or admin adjustments.
Official data and settlement
WCWins uses football data providers, including API-Football, to populate fixtures, teams, squads, odds, predictions, lineups, events, statistics, standings, top scorers, and top assists.
- Lineups usually appear close to kickoff
- Events appear during the match
- Statistics appear during or after the match
- Odds and markets depend on provider coverage
- Top scorers and assists update as the tournament progresses
If data is missing, delayed, incorrect, or later corrected, WCWins may:
- Delay settlement
- Use fallback data
- Re-sync provider data
- Correct scoring
- Reverse incorrect ledger entries
- Void affected picks or markets
- Apply admin settlement after verification
Voids and corrections
A prediction, market, contest, or settlement may be voided or corrected if:
- The match is postponed, abandoned, or cancelled
- Provider data is materially wrong
- A player / team entry is invalid
- A market was opened with wrong data
- A technical error affected entries or settlement
- Abuse, multi-accounting, or manipulation is detected
- The official result is changed after settlement
If a pick is voided, the original stake may be returned where applicable.
Fair play
One account per person.
- Multi-accounting
- Referral farming
- Bot activity
- Exploiting bugs
- Manipulating leagues or markets
- Coordinated abuse
- Attempting to bypass lock times
- Using unauthorized automation
- Harassment or spam in social features
WCWins may remove accounts, reset scores, reverse WINS, block rewards, or ban users who break fair-play rules.
No gambling / no cash value
WCWins is a free-to-play prediction and fantasy game. WINS are virtual points only.
- Are not money
- Are not crypto
- Are not withdrawable
- Are not transferable outside WCWins
- Cannot be redeemed for cash
- Cannot be sold
- Cannot be purchased unless WCWins later adds a clearly labelled non-cash virtual-points feature
Nothing on WCWins should be treated as betting, gambling, investment advice, financial advice, or a real-money prediction market.
Changes to rules
WCWins may update these rules as the app evolves, new game modes are added, data providers change, or scoring needs to be clarified.
Material changes should be reflected on this page. Continued use of WCWins after rule changes means the updated rules apply.
