FAQs
Frequently asked questions
New to organising? Read the full guide to running a World Cup sweepstake.
What is a World Cup sweepstake?
A World Cup sweepstake is a random draw where each player is assigned one of the qualified national teams. Players follow their team through the tournament, and the winner is usually the player whose team lifts the trophy or goes furthest in the competition.
How do you run a World Cup sweepstake?
Once the draw opens, add everyone taking part and press Run Draw. Each player is randomly assigned a World Cup team, with no slips of paper, spreadsheet or manual setup needed. The organiser can then share the results with the group.
Is the World Cup sweepstake draw random?
Yes. The qualified teams are shuffled randomly before being assigned. In the standard draw, each team can only be drawn once, so every player receives a unique team until the field has been used.
How are World Cup teams assigned?
The available teams are shuffled and dealt to the player list in order. Every team has an equal chance of landing with any player, which keeps the draw fair for offices, pubs, families and group chats.
How many players can join a World Cup sweepstake?
World Cup 2030 features 48 teams, which makes it one of the biggest sweepstakes you can run - ideal for large offices. If your group is smaller than the field, players can be given more than one team so every team is covered.
What happens if my team is knocked out?
That is part of the fun - most groups agree that the player whose team goes furthest wins. Some groups add side prizes, like a refund for the first team eliminated or a prize for the highest-scoring group-stage team.
How much does a World Cup sweepstake cost?
The planned World Cup draw will follow the same simple pricing: free for up to 4 players, with the full tournament field unlocked by a one-off £1.99 payment and no subscription.
When will the World Cup 2030 sweepstake be available?
It opens once the World Cup 2030 line-up is confirmed. In the meantime you can run a free Premier League sweepstake.
