How to play Pickz: prediction league rules & scoring explained

Pickz is a free score-prediction game. You predict the scoreline of each match, earn points for getting results and exact scores right, and compete against your mates in private leagues. Here's everything you need to know to get started.

The basics

Before each match kicks off you predict the final score — for example 2–1. You lock in your prediction any time up to the deadline, then sit back and watch the points roll in as results come through.

How scoring works

You score points two ways: getting the result right (win, draw or loss) and getting the exact score right. Exact scores are worth a lot more — they're the difference between winning your league and finishing mid-table. Later rounds carry a bigger multiplier, so the closer a competition gets to the final, the more every prediction matters.

Pick a bonus team

Choose a favourite team and every prediction involving them is worth extra. It's a great way to back your club or country — and it keeps you glued to matches you might otherwise ignore.

Run a private league with your mates

Create a league in seconds, share the invite code in your group chat and everyone competes on the same board. Hosts can set non-monetary prizes and bragging-rights bonus categories. It's the fun part — Pickz is always better with a rivalry.

Frequently asked questions

Is Pickz free to play?

Yes. Pickz is free forever — no subscription, no entry fees and no paywalled features. We're funded by sponsorships and the odd affiliate link, never by charging you to play.

Do I score points just for getting the winner right?

Yes — you get points for the correct result (win, draw or loss) and a much bigger bonus for predicting the exact scoreline.

When do predictions lock?

Each prediction locks at that match's deadline (typically kick-off). You can change your pick freely right up until then.

What is a bonus team?

Your chosen favourite team. Every prediction involving them is worth extra points, so backing the right side can give your total a real lift.
