1

Create a free account

2

Browse open markets

Browse live prediction markets across football, basketball, tennis, and more. Each market poses a question with two or more possible outcomes.

Pick your outcome

Choose which outcome you believe is correct. For free markets, it costs nothing. For paid markets, you'll stake an amount of your choice.

Paid markets require a stake. Pay securely via Paystack using your card, bank transfer, USSD, or wallet balance. The minimum and maximum stake are shown on each market.

5

Market resolves

Once the event happens, our admin team marks the correct outcome. The market is then resolved and winnings are distributed automatically.

6

Winners share the pool

Correct predictors share the entire prize pool proportionally based on how much they staked. Bigger stake = bigger share. Winnings land in your wallet instantly.

Withdraw your winnings

Cash out to your Nigerian bank account anytime from your wallet page. Add your bank details once and withdrawals are processed within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before placing your first prediction.

How are winnings calculated?
Your winnings are proportional to your stake relative to the total stake on the correct side. If the prize pool is ₦100,000 and you staked ₦10,000 out of ₦50,000 total staked on the winning side, you receive 20% of the prize pool = ₦20,000. A small platform fee (shown on each market) is deducted before distribution.
What is the platform fee?
The platform fee is a small percentage of the total pool taken before winnings are distributed. It covers operational costs. The exact fee is displayed on each market page before you enter.
Can I change my prediction?
On free markets, you can update your pick at any time before the market closes. On paid markets, your prediction is locked once payment is confirmed — this prevents gaming the system.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. All payments are processed by Paystack, one of Africa's most trusted payment gateways. We never store your card details on our servers.
How long do withdrawals take?
Cashout requests are processed within 24 hours on business days. Funds are sent directly to the Nigerian bank account you have registered in your wallet settings.
What happens if no one picks the correct answer?
If a market resolves with no correct predictions (e.g. a draw when no draw option was given), or if a market is cancelled, stakes are refunded to all participants.
Can I use my winnings to stake again?
Absolutely. Your wallet balance can be used directly to enter future paid markets — no Paystack checkout needed when your balance covers the stake amount.
What sports are available?
We currently run markets on football, basketball, tennis, and other sports. New markets are added regularly by our team. Check the markets page often for the latest.
