Prediction markets
Six ways to predict every match - each with different timing, difficulty and points.
Correct Score
HighestBefore kick-off
Predict the exact final score. The highest-value market on CalledItMate - get it exactly right and earn the most points. Your score prediction can be updated right up until kick-off.
Next Goalscorer
StandardLive - before each goal
Predict which player scores the next goal while the match is live. Locks the moment a goal is scored. Every live pick is held for a few seconds to keep it fair - if a goal is scored while it's locking in, the pick is voided and refunded. Own goals don't count as a goalscorer: nobody wins or loses the round and your pick carries over to the next genuine goal. Call the first goalscorer right and your next pick on that match is free - and stays free until you get one wrong. Predict the same player scores twice in a row and earn bonus brace/hat-trick points. If your pick is subbed off you get a free re-pick; if your pick is sent off there's no re-pick that round.
Next Team to Score
5 ptsLive - before each goal
Pick which team scores next while the match is live. A fast, frequent market - you can make a new pick before every goal in the match. Every live pick is held for a few seconds to keep it fair - if a goal is scored while it's locking in, the pick is voided and refunded.
Points & scoring rules
Daily prediction limit: Each market has a daily limit of 8 predictions per day per user to keep the game fair and skill-based. Featured matches bypass the daily limit. The limit resets at midnight UK time.
Weekly boost: Once per week you can activate 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 weekly clock that's the same for everyone - a fresh boost every Monday, not seven days after you last used it - so nobody is penalised for using theirs later in the week. Use it on the biggest match of the week.
Fair-play delay: 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. 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.
Subs & 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.
Brace & hat-trick bonus: If you correctly predict a player's first goal and they go on to score again, you automatically earn bonus points for the additional goals - no extra picks needed.
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, paying a daily bonus that ramps from +10 up to +50 a 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). That daily bonus also counts toward your season prize total, up to a per-season cap. Hit 7, 30, 50, 100 or 365 days for one-off milestone bonuses and a flame badge (these are all-time only, never cash). Miss a day when games were on and it resets - full detail on the streaks page.
Season lock: Matches that kick off after the current season ends can't be predicted yet - their markets stay hidden and show a countdown until that season starts, so every match's points land in the right season.
Signup bonus: New players receive a points bonus on creating their account - a head start on the leaderboard from day one.
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?
All players compete on a seasonal leaderboard. Points from every correct prediction across all matches accumulate over the season. At the end of the season, the top 3 players on the leaderboard win real cash prizes.
Is there a daily prediction limit?
Yes - each market has a daily limit of 8 predictions per day to keep the game fair. 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 every Monday, 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 season's cash-prize leaderboard up to a per-season cap (default 750). Milestones at 7, 30, 50, 100 and 365 days pay one-off prestige bonuses (+50/+250/+500/+1000/+2500) and 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 season ends belong to a future season, so their prediction markets stay hidden until that season starts. The match shows a countdown to when predictions open - this keeps every match's points inside the correct season'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.
