How It Works

The paid games are the main competitions. There are three Premier League games at £5, £15 and £30 per entry, and a £10 Championship game. Each runs as its own survivor competition with its own prize fund.

Each paid entry gives you 1 life. If you buy 3 entries, you have 3 lives in the paid game for that round.

You can enter with more than one life to give yourself more chances of surviving the round.

Every life stands on its own. Each life needs its own winning pick.

Once payment is confirmed, your paid entries are added and you can move into the picks stage when picks are available.

You only pay again if a new paid entry is required under the game rules, such as a rollover situation.

The free game follows the same core pick-and-survive idea, but without paid entry.

It is designed for players who want to join in without putting money into the prize game.

The free game is separate from the paid game. Your free pick does not count as a paid life, and your paid lives do not count as free entries.

Paid results and free results are also shown separately.

Just like the paid version, you still need to make the right pick each round and survive to continue.

In the paid game, every entry becomes 1 life. More entries mean more lives, and more lives mean more picks to submit.

Each life must make its own pick for the round. If you have 4 lives, you need 4 picks.

In the paid game, each life can only use each team once per game.

That means one life cannot keep picking the same team again and again through the season.

Different lives can still use the same team in the same round. The restriction applies per life, not across your whole account.

If you have 2 lives, Life 1 can pick Arsenal and Life 2 can also pick Arsenal in the same round.

But if Life 1 already used Arsenal in an earlier round, Life 1 cannot use Arsenal again later in the same game.

Picks lock 1 hour before the first kickoff in that round.

Once the deadline passes, picks are locked and cannot be edited for that round.

The whole round works from the first kickoff time, so make sure your picks are in before the lock time.

If every remaining entry is knocked out in the same round, nobody has won, so the game rolls over instead of ending.

The prize fund carries forward, the game restarts from scratch and entry re-opens. Rollovers are the only time you can buy into a game that has already started.

The rollover price is the game's entry price multiplied by the number of rollovers plus one. On the £10 Championship game the first rollover makes new entries £20, a second rollover £30, and so on. The same rule applies to the £5, £15 and £30 games.

How many rounds the game has already played makes no difference. A £5 game that rolls over after four rounds still costs a new entrant £10 — the prize fund it carries is what sets the price.

If you have been knocked out of this game you can re-enter at the original entry price — it does not matter which round you went out in. Everyone eliminated along the way gets the same way back in, for as many lives as they held last time.

Any lives you add above that count are charged at the rollover price.

If you join a game for the first time during a rollover, every entry is charged at the rollover price.

If a life picks a team that does not win, that life is out.

Draws do not count as a winning pick.

If multiple players or multiple lives are still alive after a round, the game continues into the next round.

If only one player remains in the game, that player is the winner, even if they still have more than one surviving life.

Once only one player remains, there is no need to continue creating more rounds.

If all remaining lives are eliminated in the same round, the game rolls over instead of producing a winner that week.

The paid game needs a minimum of 2 players to start for that round.

If fewer than 2 players sign up for a paid round, the game does not start that week.

Instead, paid entries carry forward to the next available round so players do not need to pay again for the same entry.

This keeps the paid game fair and competitive. The goal is to make sure the round starts with a real contest rather than a one-player auto-win.
