Prediction markets

Three ways to predict every match - each with different timing, difficulty and points.

Correct Score

Up to 60 pts

Before kick-off

Call the exact final score. Get it spot on for 60 points, or get just the result right (win, draw or loss) for 20. You can change it right up until kick-off.

Next Goalscorer

20-75 pts

Live - before each goal

While the match is live, call who scores the next goal. Points depend on the player's position: 20 for a forward, 25 for a midfielder, 45 for a defender and 75 for a goalkeeper. A new round opens after every goal.

Next Team to Score

5 pts

Live - before each goal

While the match is live, pick which team scores next. A fast, frequent market - you get a fresh pick before every goal in the match. If nobody scores again before full time, your pick is voided and refunded: no points won or lost, and it doesn't use one of your daily picks.

Full rules

Everything that decides your points, in detail. Tap a rule to open it.

Daily prediction limits

Correct score is capped at 8 predictions per day; goalscorer and next team to score are capped at 12, to keep the game fair and skill-based. Featured matches bypass the daily limit. The limit resets at midnight UK time.

Weekly boost (3x points)

Once per week you can put a 3x points multiplier on a single match: your correct score and first goalscorer predictions for that match earn triple points.

It resets on a fixed clock that's the same for everyone - a fresh boost the moment each new prize week starts (late on Monday night, UK time), not seven days after you last used it - so nobody is penalised for using theirs later in the week.

Fair-play delay on live picks

On the two live markets - goalscorer and next team to score - every pick is held for a few seconds before it counts, shown as a short “locking in” countdown.

If a goal is scored during that window your pick is voided and refunded: no points won or lost, and it doesn't use one of your daily picks. The same goes for a pick placed after the live betting markets had already paused for that goal.

Live goals reach different screens at slightly different times, so this small buffer means nobody can call a goal that has effectively already happened on a faster feed.

Own goals

Own goals don't count as a goalscorer: nobody wins or loses that round, and your pick carries over to the next genuine goal.

Free goalscorer picks

Call the first goalscorer of a match correctly and your next goalscorer pick on that match costs no daily pick, and it stays free for as long as you keep calling them right.

It only ends when you actually get one wrong - a goal you didn't pick on just carries the run forward.

It has to be the match's opening goal that starts it, so joining a match that is already 1-0 means no free run on that one. On a bonus or featured match every pick is already free anyway.

Brace and hat-trick bonus

Correctly call any goalscorer and if he goes on to a brace your points double, a hat-trick triples them (capped there). It's counted once per player - one right call pays his whole tally, so you don't need extra picks and his goals don't have to be consecutive.

Subs and sendings-off

On the goalscorer market, if the player you picked is subbed off before the next goal you get a free re-pick. If your pick is sent off, that's final - you do not get another re-pick that round, and a sent-off player can no longer be selected.

Teamsheets

When the confirmed line-ups land, roughly an hour before kick-off, we tell you if your goalscorer pick isn't starting.

Named among the subs and your pick stands - substitutes score all the time. Left out of the squad entirely and the pick is handed back, without using one of your daily picks.

Either way you can change your call right up until kick-off.

Assist points

On selected competitions, if the player you called to score sets the goal up instead of scoring it, you still bank 5 points. Turned on per competition where the assist data is reliable - see the FAQ below for where it's live.

VAR reversals

If a goal is overturned by VAR after you've been awarded points, the points are reversed automatically. Likewise, if a decision is reversed in your favour, points are awarded.

Daily streak

Make at least one prediction every day and your streak grows, and pays a daily bonus of +10 on Day 1, then +15, +20, +25, +30, +40 and +50 a day from Day 7 on.

It's the day you predict that counts, not the match's date - so predicting tomorrow's game today counts for today (you just can't bank days ahead). That daily bonus also counts toward your weekly prize total, up to a per-week cap.

Every day from your second to your seventh carries a one-off milestone bonus on top (+25, +40, +45, +50, +50, +50 - so the first week pays 10, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 a day in total), and so do 30, 50, 100 and 365 days, each with a flame badge (milestones are all-time only, never cash).

Twenty-five, fifty and a hundred days go further and hand you a Streak Payday award worth 50, 125 and 300 points - those DO count toward the cash leaderboard, they turn up in your Awards, and they can only be spent on a Tuesday, the first full day of a new prize week. Choose any week you like - one per week, and it never expires.

Miss a day when games were on and it resets - full detail on the streaks page.

Next week's matches

Matches that kick off after the current week ends can't be predicted yet - their markets stay hidden and show a countdown until that week starts, so every match's points land in the right week.

Sign-up bonus

New players receive a points bonus on creating their account - a head start on the current week's leaderboard from day one, and a bigger one if you sign up with Google or X.

Frequently asked questions

How does CalledItMate work?

CalledItMate is a live football prediction game. Browse upcoming fixtures, predict the score before kick-off, then predict the next goalscorer and which team scores next while the match is live.

Points land instantly when the game confirms your call.

How do I earn points on CalledItMate?

You earn points for correct predictions. An exact correct score earns the most points.

A correct match outcome (win/draw/loss) earns fewer points. Correct goalscorer and next-team predictions also earn fixed points.

Points are awarded instantly - no waiting for full time.

How does the leaderboard work?

Every correct prediction earns points on the weekly leaderboard, and everyone starts from zero again each week. When the week closes, the top two win real cash: £15 and £10 across the top two, paid directly.

Entry is completely free - no entry fee, no deposit, no card.

Is there a daily prediction limit?

Yes - to keep the game fair. Correct score is capped at 8 predictions per day; goalscorer and next team to score are capped at 12 per day.

Featured matches bypass the daily limit. The limit resets at midnight UK time.

What is the weekly boost?

Once per week, you can activate a 3x boost on a single match. Your score prediction and first goalscorer pick for that match earn triple the usual points.

It resets on a fixed weekly clock that's the same for everyone - a fresh boost the moment each new prize week starts (late on Monday night, UK time), not seven days after you last used it - so you're never penalised for using it later in the week. Use it wisely.

What happens if a match is postponed?

If a match is postponed or cancelled, we remove it from the site, so a fixture you had picks on can disappear. Nothing is lost: all predictions for that match are voided, any points are refunded, and your daily prediction count for that day is restored.

You get a notification explaining what happened.

What is a prediction streak?

Make at least one prediction (any match, any market) each day and your streak grows and pays a daily bonus - +10 on Day 1, ramping to +15, +20, +25, +30, +40, then +50 every day from Day 7. It's the day you predict that counts, not the match's date, so predicting tomorrow's game today counts for today - you just can't bank days ahead.

The daily bonus also counts toward the current week's cash-prize leaderboard up to a per-week cap (default 750). Milestones pay one-off prestige bonuses on top - every day from Day 2 to Day 7 (+25/+40/+45/+50/+50/+50, so the first week pays 10, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 a day in total) and again at 30, 50, 100 and 365 days (+250/+500/+1000/+2500) - with a flame badge, but these are all-time only and never count toward the cash prize.

Miss a day when there were games on and the streak resets. See calleditmate.com/streaks.

Why can't I predict on some upcoming matches yet?

Matches that kick off after the current week ends belong to a future week, so their prediction markets stay hidden until that week starts. The match shows a countdown to when predictions open - this keeps every match's points inside the correct week's prize race.

What happens if my goalscorer pick doesn't start the match?

It depends on whether he made the matchday squad. If your pick is named among the substitutes, the pick stands - substitutes score all the time.

If he is left out of the squad altogether, the pick is returned and it does not use one of your daily picks. Either way you are notified as soon as the confirmed teamsheet lands, roughly an hour before kick-off, and goalscorer picks stay changeable right up until kick-off.

What are card penalties?

On selected competitions (currently Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Nations League, FA Cup, Copa del Rey, DFB Pokal, Championship, League One, League Two, Scottish Premiership, MLS, World Cup Qual. UEFA, J1 League, K League 1, A-League Men, Austrian Bundesliga, Danish Superliga, Allsvenskan, Eliteserien, Chinese Super League), your goalscorer pick carries risk while it's live: if the exact player you picked gets a yellow card you lose 5 points, a red costs 10.

It only ever hits the player you picked, never a teammate, and only while that pick is still open (a goal locking it in first is safe). Turned on per competition, so it isn't active everywhere.

Do I get anything if my goalscorer pick assists?

On selected competitions (currently Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Nations League, FA Cup, Copa del Rey, DFB Pokal, Championship, League One, League Two, Scottish Premiership, MLS, World Cup Qual. UEFA, J1 League, K League 1, A-League Men, Austrian Bundesliga, Danish Superliga, Allsvenskan, Eliteserien, Chinese Super League), yes: if the player you called to score sets up the goal instead of scoring it, you get 5 points as a consolation.

It's turned on per competition, so it isn't active everywhere, and it only applies where the assist data is reliable.
