What is the Perfect Picks Challenge?

Every four years, the world’s biggest soccer championship brings fans together for over a month of non-stop action. This year, don’t just watch — put your knowledge to the test.

Perfect Picks Challenge is a free prediction contest. Predict how all 48 teams finish in the group stage and who stands on the podium at the end of the tournament to compete for a share of the $1,000,000 prize pool. Get every single prediction right and win up to $9,000,000.

No entry fee. No deposit. No trade required. Just your picks.

Is it free to enter?

Yes. You just need a verified OG account in a supported region. That's it.

When does the campaign run?

  • Group Picks open: June 4, 2026 at 06:00 UTC (U.S., except New York).

Where can I join?

How to Play

How do I enter?

  1. Go to the Promos tab in the OG app (or tap the home page banner)

  2. Tap the Perfect Picks campaign

  3. Tap Pick now to enroll and start making your predictions

What are Group Picks?

You predict the final standings (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) for each of the 12 groups (A through L). Select your top 3 teams in order; the 4th fills in automatically. Once you finish a group, you’ll move to the next one.

What are Podium Picks?

You predict the top 3 finishers of the entire tournament: 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place. This is a separate prediction from Group Picks, with its own deadline.

Can I change my picks after submitting?

No. Both Group Picks and Podium Picks are final once submitted. There is no way to edit them after you tap Submit.

Can I save my progress and come back later?

Yes, only for Group Picks. You can tap Save draft at any point before submitting.

What if I don’t finish all 12 Group Picks before the deadline?

Incomplete or draft Group Picks do not earn any Group points. However, you can still submit Podium Picks before the deadline and earn referral bonus points.

What if I missed the Group Picks deadline entirely?

You can still participate. Podium Picks and the referral bonus are available separately; you can earn points from those and climb the leaderboard.

When exactly do Group Picks close?

Group Picks close for submissions on June 11, 2026 at 18:00 UTC.

When exactly do Podium Picks close?

Podium Picks close for submissions on June 28, 2026 at 18:00 UTC.

Points & Scoring

How are Group Picks scored?

Correct placement for any team in a group: 20 points

All 4 placements correct in a single group: 100 points (20 ⅹ 4 + 20 perfect group bonus)

Example:

  • Group A results: 1st Mexico, 2nd South Africa, 3rd Czechia, 4th Korea

  • Participant A picks: 1st South Africa, 2nd Mexico, 3rd Czechia, 4th Korea

    • 3rd correct (20) + 4th correct (20) = 40 points

  • Participant B picks: 1st Mexico, 2nd South Africa, 3rd Czechia, 4th Korea

    • 1st (20) + 2nd (20) + 3rd (20) + 4th (20) + perfect group bonus (20) = 100 points

How are Podium Picks scored?

  • 1st place correct: 200 points

  • 2nd place correct: 150 points

  • 3rd place correct: 100 points

  • All 3 correct (bonus): +350 points

  • Maximum Podium total points: 800 points

You must predict the exact rank. Getting the right team in the wrong podium position does not count.

Example:

  • Final results: 1st Brazil, 2nd France, 3rd Germany

  • Participant A picks: 1st Brazil, 2nd Germany, 3rd France

    • 1st correct (200) only = 200 points

  • Participant B picks: 1st Brazil, 2nd France, 3rd Germany

    • 1st (200) + 2nd (150) + 3rd (100) + all 3 bonus (350) = 800 points

What is the maximum number of points I can earn?

  • Group Picks (12 groups × 100): 1,200 points

  • Podium Picks: 800 points

  • Referral Boost (capped): 1,000 points

  • Total possible points: 3,000 points

What counts as a “perfect pick”?

The “perfect pick” is getting every single prediction correct:

  • All 12 Group Picks (all positions in all groups) and

  • All 3 Podium Picks (correct 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place).

That’s a perfect score of 2,000 points from picks alone.

Referral Boost

How does the referral boost work?

You earn 50 leaderboard points for each eligible friend you successfully refer up to 1,000 points (20 referrals).

What does my referral need to do?

An eligible referred friend must:

  • Sign up for OG using your referral link

  • Complete verification

  • Complete the referee trade requirements applicable to them in their account

What is the minimum trading requirement for the referral bonus?

The minimum trading requirement can be accumulated over multiple trades and may differ based on the jurisdiction of the eligible referred user as shown in their account.

Is the referral boost available in all regions?

No. The referral leaderboard boost only applies to users in certain countries. If your referral is in a country without an active referral program, it will not count for leaderboard points.

Will I be notified when a referral succeeds?

Yes, you’ll receive a push notification when your referred friend completes their trade requirements.

Leaderboard & Prizes

What is the leaderboard’s total prize pool?

The total prize pool for the leaderboard is $1,000,000 in cash, shared among the top 1,000 users on the leaderboard.
