Getting started

Four short walkthroughs — from creating your free account to playing with friends.

1. Create a free account

Takes about a minute — no payment, no card.

  1. 1
    Open the sign-up page
    Tap Sign in in the menu, then Create account.
  2. 2
    Enter your full name
    This is how friends recognise you on the leaderboard.
  3. 3
    Add email and password
    Use an email you check; your password needs at least 8 characters.
  4. 4
    Add your phone number
    Pick your country code, then enter your number. We use it to keep your account secure.
  5. 5
    Confirm your email
    We email you a confirmation link — click it and you're in.
  6. 6
    Pick your favourite team
    Inside any league, open My team and choose your club to follow it.

2. Create a group

A private mini-league for your friends, family or office.

  1. 1
    Choose a competition
    From the home page open the competition you want to play — Premier League, LaLiga, World Cup and so on.
  2. 2
    Open the Groups tab
    Every competition has a Groups tab in its top menu.
  3. 3
    Name your group
    Type something like “The Office Pool” and tap Create group.
  4. 4
    Note the code
    You'll see a 6-character code straight away — that's what friends use to join.
  5. 5
    Same group, every competition
    Your group works across all competitions, and each one keeps its own points table.

3. Invite people and share the code

Two ways: send the code, or send an email invite.

  1. 1
    Copy the code
    On the Groups tab, tap your group chip — the invite code is copied to your clipboard.
  2. 2
    Share it anywhere
    Paste it into WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack or email along with the site address.
  3. 3
    Or send an email invite
    Use the Share/Invite button on the group card and enter their email — they get a link that opens the group directly.
  4. 4
    Approve who joins
    As the group owner you'll see join requests and can approve or decline each one.
  5. 5
    Nudge quiet members
    You can send a friendly reminder to members who haven't predicted yet.

4. Join a group

Whether you got an email link or just a code.

  1. 1
    From an email link
    Tap the link in the invite email. If you're not signed in yet, create your free account first — you'll come straight back to the group.
  2. 2
    With a code
    Open the competition, go to its Groups tab, type the 6-character code into “Join by code” and tap Join group.
  3. 3
    Wait for approval
    The owner gets your request — once approved you appear on the group leaderboard.
  4. 4
    Start predicting
    Head to the Predict tab and set a score for each upcoming match. Picks save automatically and lock at kick-off.
