How it works
The campaign is designed around football knowledge, transparent scoring, locked deadlines, one account per person, and manual winner checks.
Beat the lock
Predictions lock before kickoff. No edits after lock in the live version.
Score on skill
Points come from correct predictions, exact scores, group qualifiers, champion picks, and African-team bonus rules that reward correct calls involving African teams.
Verify winners
Winners verified before payout. Suspicious or duplicate entries may be disqualified.
Scoring system
Simple rule: get the score right for the biggest points. If you miss the score, you can still earn smaller points for reading the match correctly.
Exact score
You predict the final score perfectly.
Example: you pick Morocco 2-1, and the match ends Morocco 2-1.Correct team win
You pick the winning team, even if the score is different.
Example: you pick Ghana to win, and Ghana wins by any score.Correct draw
You pick a draw, and the match ends level.
Example: you pick 1-1, and the match ends 0-0 or 2-2.Correct margin
You get the goal difference right.
Example: you pick 2-0, and the match ends 3-1.Correct team goals
You get one team's goal total right.
Example: you pick 2-1, final is 2-0, so the home-team goals are right.African-team boost
African-team fixtures can earn bonus points, but the bonus is capped.
Example: correct African-team win or clean sheet can add extra points without overpowering skill.Late after lock
Predictions must be submitted before kickoff.
Example: if a match has kicked off, that fixture can no longer be edited for points.Anti-cheat and fairness
The campaign should feel fun, but cash prizes need guardrails. Suspicious users can still play, but prize payment waits until review is complete.
One real player
One account per person. Duplicate accounts, repeated devices, fake referrals, and obvious self-referrals can be reviewed or removed.
Locked predictions
Fixture picks lock at kickoff. Late edits score 0 for that match and are logged for review.
Privacy-safe signals
Device, IP, and browser signals should be stored as hashes or review flags, not raw public data.
Manual winner checks
Top players may need to confirm age, country, contact details, account ownership, and payout route before payment.
No fee to claim
AfroTools will never ask winners to pay a fee to claim a prize. Anyone asking for a claim fee is not AfroTools.
Prize payment checks
Prize payments wait for account enforcement, score locks, duplicate checks, and winner verification.
