Ways to play
Existing Credits picks remain separate. Legacy WINS staking, market trading and payout paths are retired.
WINS economy
WINS are virtual points with no monetary value. All new WINS issuance and payouts remain OFF.
Account creation issues no WINS. Historical ledger records and balances are preserved. Credits, competition points and WINS are separate.
Match Predictions
Play 7 lets you choose one to three calls for each match. Correct result: 3 points; absolute goal difference: 1 point; both teams to score: 1 point. These are competition points, with no WINS stake.
Each coupon holds up to seven matches and one booster. Calls are shared across eligible coupons; the booster and opt-outs belong to each coupon.
Effective kickoff locks and verified real starts prevent late edits. Underdog shares stay hidden before lock and are published only after the authoritative snapshot exists. Scores remain provisional until official settlement.
Read the complete Play 7 rules. Existing match Credits picks retain their separate rules and balance; obsolete WINS prediction rewards are retired.
Tournament Predictor
Tournament scores are nonfinancial points; legacy WINS tournament awards are retired.
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.
Legacy Predict Markets
Legacy WINS market trading, staking, treasury issuance and payouts are permanently retired. No new Buy, Sell, quote or market reward can be submitted.
Existing records and financial history are preserved. This retirement does not change Play 7 or the separate Credits game.
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
6.3Scoring and retired prizes
Fantastic 7 scoring and separate Credits settlement are retained. Legacy fixed WINS slate prizes and payout actions are retired. New Fantasy 7 WINS rewards remain inactive until separately activated.
Fan Zone
Fan Zone contains community activities such as:
- Polls
- Fan votes
- Challenges
- Streaks
- Community predictions
- Social game events
Fan Zone retains its nonfinancial community features. New WINS rewards are inactive. WCWins may remove abusive, automated, duplicate, or manipulated Fan Zone activity.
Free Squads
Squads are free private groups. There is no creation or joining fee and no WINS balance requirement.
A player may belong to up to 10 Squads, with up to 200 active members per Squad. Squads are never listed publicly; join through an invite code.
Existing group chat and moderation remain available. Spam, harassment, multi-accounting and referral farming are prohibited.
Leaderboards
Leaderboards may be split by:
- Overall
- Match Predictions
- Tournament Predictor
- Archived market history
- Fantastic 7
- Fan Zone
- Daily
- Weekly
- All-time

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, prices, 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
- Available prices depend on data 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
- Preserve historical WINS ledger records
- 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
Play 7 voids score zero, including a locked booster. Credits corrections follow their separate rules. Retired WINS paths cannot issue new refunds or rewards.
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 restrict accounts, correct scores or block eligibility for abuse. Historical WINS balances and records are preserved.

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

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.
