How to play

  1. Select the correct outcome of all the fixtures within each of the Group Stage Matchday and Knockout Phases.

    1 = Home, X = Draw, 2 = Away

  2. Lock in your 'Daily Double', which gives you the chance to double your points on 1 selected fixture per Matchday or Knockout round.

  3. You'll be awarded points for each correct selection, based on the odds displayed in the game, with every user getting 10 points per fixture to 'stake' on your outcome of choice.

  4. Come back after each Matchday/ Knockout round has finished to enter your selections for the next phase.

  5. Each correct selection will accumulate points on the leaderboard, where prizes can be won depending on your total. Matchday leaderboards will be available for Matchdays 1, 2, 3 and Round of 32. Prizes are also available for the tournament standings overall. Your rank can be seen in the Leaderboards section of the game and why not try our new ‘Your Leagues’ feature, where you can create your own private leaderboards and share with friends.

Terms & Conditions

Gameplay

  1. For full details on gameplay, please refer to our Tournament Challenge rules.

  2. You are responsible for any tax obligations (reporting and / or tax settlement) that are applicable in your jurisdiction in relation to any deposits, stakes or entry fees or any winnings/prizes or losses as the case may be. Prize values displayed are exclusive of any tax deductions (where applicable).

Bet Credits

  1. Free Bets will be added to your Bet Credits balance once your selections are confirmed as correct and once the result of the final fixture is known.

  2. Your Bet Credits are non-withdrawable. Any returns from Bet Credits stakes will be added to your Withdrawable Balance but Bet Credits stakes are not included in any returns. For example, a £10 bet placed at odds of 2/1 (3.00) would give a return of £30 (£20 winnings plus £10 stake), whereas a £10 Bet Credits stake placed at odds of 2/1 (3.00) would give a net return of £20, as the £10 Bet Credits stake is not returned.

  3. Stakes can be funded in part by your Bet Credits and part with your Withdrawable Balance; however the Bet Credits element of the stake will not be included in any returns. For example, a £10 bet placed at odds of 2/1 (3.00) which was funded by £5 Bet Credits and £5 cash would give a net return of £25 (£20 winnings plus £5 cash stake) as the £5 Bet Credits stake would not be returned. If a bet is void and has had an opportunity to win (for example, in the event of a push), Bet Credits stakes will not be returned. If a bet is void and has not had an opportunity to win (for example, when a Goalscorer bet is placed on a player who does not then take part in the match), Bet Credits stakes will be returned.

  4. Your Bet Credits will expire 7 days after they are added to your Bet Credits balance. If additional Bet Credits are added to your Bet Credits balance within this 7 day period, the total Bet Credits balance will expire 7 days after the last addition.
