Octogolazo is a realtime social prediction game for the FIFA World Cup 2026 (June 11 – July 19, 2026). You predict live match moments — match winner, next goal, cards — in one tap, save your picks as shareable timestamped cards, and compete with friends in private squads.

No. Octogolazo is not a betting product. No money changes hands, there are no odds, and points have no cash value. It is not a sportsbook, a fantasy operator, or a financial service — the only thing at stake is bragging rights between friends.

Yes — completely free to play. There are no entry fees, no paid tiers, and no in-app purchases at launch.

No. You can predict directly on octogolazo.com with no install and no sign-up — an anonymous session is created automatically and kept on your device for 30 days. Installing the mobile app preserves your history, streaks, and squad rooms permanently.

Every correct prediction earns points according to a published scoring rubric — harder calls earn more. Predictions are resolved automatically from live match data within seconds of the event. The full point table is on the scoring rules page.

A saved pick is a shareable, timestamped card that proves what you called and when. It has three states: pending while the match runs, vindicated when your call comes true, and wrong when it doesn't.

A squad is a private league for you and your friends. Create one, share the invite code or link, and everyone's points roll up into a squad leaderboard for the whole tournament.

You must be at least 13 years old, or 16 in the European Union.

Live scores and match events are sourced from API-Football (api-sports.io). If an upstream correction changes an event — a VAR overturn or a disallowed goal — affected predictions are re-resolved so results stay fair.
