Bidding happens in multiple sealed rounds. Submit the maximum you'd pay for each team you want — nobody else sees your number.
You must commit at least £10 in winning bids across the tournament, and total bids can't exceed £75.
Teams that don't sell roll into the next round. Tied highest bids trigger a capped tie-breaker round between the tied players.
Own Your Teams
- Once bidding closes, you own those teams for the rest of the tournament.
- As your teams progress, they become eligible for different prizes.

Ownership is locked the moment a round closes — no swaps, no trades, no refunds. Your teams are yours through the group stage, knockouts and final.
Every goal scored, knockout reached and upset pulled off by your teams pushes you up the leaderboard and into prize contention.

The pot is built from every winning bid — no admin fees and no carve-outs. 100% goes back to players.
Percentages are fixed before the tournament starts. The bigger the pot, the bigger every share.
A team can win more than one prize (e.g. Tournament Winner + Top Goalscorer). Owners of those teams collect both shares.
More Than One Way to Win
You do not need to own the World Cup winner to win a prize.
- Dark Horse rewards the best-performing outsider.
- Giant Killer rewards the biggest upset.
- Top Goalscorer rewards attacking football.
- Wooden Spoon rewards glorious failure.
A team may win multiple prizes.
Learn more
Dark Horse — awarded to the highest-finishing owned team outside the pre-tournament Top 9 favourites.
Giant Killer — awarded to the team that beats the opponent with the biggest FIFA-ranking gap above them.
Top Goalscorer — awarded to the owner of the team containing the Golden Boot winner.
Wooden Spoon — awarded to the worst-performing team in the group stage. Even losing pays.
The process
How Bidding Works
Submit the maximum amount you are willing to pay for a team. All bids are secret. The highest bidder wins and pays exactly what they bid.
Example
Three players bid on England
| Player | Bid |
|---|---|
| Sarah | £12 |
| Tom | £18 |
| James Winner | £25 |
James wins England because he submitted the highest bid. James pays £25 into the prize pot.
Multiple Teams
You can bid on as many teams as you like
| Team | Bid |
|---|---|
| England | £25 |
| Japan | £8 |
| Mexico | £5 |
If you submit the highest bid on all three teams, you win all three teams and pay £38.
If You Lose
If another player bids more than you
- You do not win the team.
- You pay nothing.
