Here are the rules of the game. Please read these carefully before you commit to playing. Please also refer to our terms and conditions for further information.

How Profit League works – The basics

Profit League is a football predictions game. Players predict the results of pre-selected football matches.

Players earn points based on the accuracy of their predictions.

Points per fixture are awarded as follows:

Correct scoreline = 25 points
Correct result/winner selected = 10 points
Incorrect scoreline and incorrect result/winner selected = 0 points

For example;

A player predicts a scoreline of Arsenal 1 -0 Man City. Arsenal win the game 1 -0. The player is awarded 25 points.

If Arsenal won the game 2-0, the player is award 10 points

If the game is a draw or Man City win the game, the player is awarded 0 points.

The points awarded for each of the fixtures are added together to create a players ‘Total Score’. The top 10% of players in the league with the highest total score each week win a cash prize.

Prophet league is a pool-based game. Therefore, the size of the prizes awarded to the top 10% of players is determine by how many players have entered the game.

The prediction window opens at 10am every Tuesday and Predictions must be confirmed and entry fees paid by 11am on the Saturday, before the first fixture kicks-off. Players are unable to enter the game after this time.


Please note: should a fixture be postponed after the predictions window has opened, the fixture will be null and void and no points will be allocated for that fixture.


A little more detail about playing the game

Choosing the league(s) you want to play:

Players can choose to player the National Game – open to all registered and verified players – and/or a Friends League.

Some local leagues are private and in order to enter these leagues you will need to be in receipt of the league code. Where a local league is marked as ‘Public’ this means that the league creator welcomes any player.

A player can search for a local league by clicking on ‘Add League’ on the homepage or selecting ‘Leagues’ in the main menu of the Prophet League app.

Prophet League should be fun and so it has been designed to keep players safe and prevent players from over-spending each week. That’s why there is a maximum spend limit of 3 games per week. The entry fee for the National League is £2.00. Local League entry fee’s range from £2.00 to £5.00 based on the entry fee set by the league creator. The entry fee for each league is clearly shown prior to entering the game.

Therefore, a player can enter a maximum of 3 leagues/games each week. Once a player has reached the max. number of games in a week they will be unable to enter any further games in that week.

There is no obligation for a player to enter a league each week. They can choose to play 1,2 or 3 leagues or they can choose not to play at all.

A player can enter any given league only once in a single week.

Fundraising

If a league is raising funds for a good cause, the good cause will be clearly shown on the League homepage along with more information about the good cause and a ‘heart logo’. All donations are optional and there is no obligation for a player to donate should they choose not to do so. The player is shown the entry fee and the optional donation amount prior to committing to enter the game.

For example;

A player chooses to enter a League that is raising money for a local sports team. The creator of the League has set the entry fee at £2 and an optional donation of 50p. The play can choose whether to ‘Play & Donate’ for £2.50 (£2 + 50p) or to ‘Just Play’ for £2. The players chance of winning a share of the pooled prize pot is not affected by whether they donate or not.

Making Predictions

Within a league, players are presented with the designated football fixtures for the forth coming weekend. All players in the league are predicting the results of the same fixtures. All fixtures are scheduled to be played on either Saturday or Sunday of that week.

Players click to enter their predictions and then continue to enter their predicted scoreline for each fixture.

Players are asked to select their ‘Doublers’. The amount of ‘Doublers’ is determined by the number fixtures included in the game.


4-5 fixtures = 1 Doubler

6-7 fixtures = 2 Doublers

8 fixtures = 3 Doublers

The fixtures chosen by the player as a ‘Doubler’ any points scored on these games will be doubled…so choose wisely.

Saving predictions & entering the game

Once the player has finished entering their predictions and selecting their ‘Doublers’, players are invited to confirm their predictions and pay the entry fee. Players are shown a summary of their predictions along with the entry fee to enter the game and a link to view Prophet League’s terms and conditions. If the league is raising money for a good cause, players are also reminded of the good cause being supported by the League and the amount of the entry fee that will be donated.

Paying the entry fee

Once a player has chosen to proceed and enter the game, they will be asked to confirm the entry fee that will be debited from their account.

The entry fee is deducted from the players Prophet League wallet. If there are insufficient funds in the wallet the player will be asked to top up their wallet prior to their entry being confirmed. All deposits made into the Prophet League wallet are processed through a secure payments service. Players can only deposit funds into their Prophet League from a UK debit card.

Once the players entry fee has been successfully deducted from their Prophet League wallet the player will see a confirmation message on screen indicating that they have entered the game.

A player can return to edit their predictions up until 11am on Saturday morning of the game weekend.

In play

The game starts once the first fixture of the weekend kicks-off. Players can see how their predictions compare with the actual scorelines in real time, the points they are currently scoring for each fixture and their real-time projected winnings as at that moment. A players points and projected winnings will change in real-time as the scorelines change.

Players can also see a live leaderboard showing how they are performing against all other players in the league and their position.

Players can not edit their score after 11am on the Saturday morning and no ‘in-game’ bonuses or additional bets are offered.

When the final whistle blows on the last fixture(s) of the weekend (the fixture(s) with the latest kick-off time), the player can see their final points tally and any cash prize that they have won. They can also see the final points and prizes for the other players in the League.

Winnings

If a player has won a cash prize, the cash prize will be added to their Prophet League wallet by midnight on the Sunday evening. A player can choose to withdraw either all or part of their Prophet League wallet balance at any time by visiting the Prophet League wallet screen. Funds will be deposited back into the players bank account within 24 hours of the player making the withdrawal request.

Fees

Prophet League takes a small percentage from the prize pot of each league. The prize pot is determined as Total entry fees – Prophet League’s fee. For the National League, Prophet League’s percentage fee can vary based on the number of players entering the league. Typically, this ranges from 20-30% of the prize pot.

For Local Leagues, Prophet League has a fixed fee of 10% of the prize pot.


No fee is taken from the donations made. This money is sent to the good cause either directly or via Just giving in full.

We hope you enjoy playing Prophet League and helping to raise funds for the many good causes being support by Prophet League.
