The Pot
One game. One pot. Everything in it.
How The Pot works
01
Every pot entry pays in
Your whole entry fee goes into The Pot — nothing is taken off it. We take 10% of the pot at payout, once, when the season settles —
here's the full split. You can also play for free.
02
The Pot is locked at kickoff
Entries close the moment the first game of the season kicks off. The total is set. As the season progresses and players go bust, the prize doesn't shrink — it stays intact for whoever survives.
03
Closest to 21 wins The Pot
At season end, the player whose combined goals are closest to 21 — without hitting 22 — wins The Pot. If you're eliminated (bust), your money stays in.
04
A tie splits The Pot
If two or more entries finish level on the same total, they split The Pot equally between them. No countback, no coin toss — level on goals means level on the money.
Where your £5 goes 10% at payout
Your entry £5.00
→ Taken off your entry £0.00
Into The Pot £5.00
Nothing comes off your entry — a bank transfer costs nothing to send or receive, so all
£5 of it lands in The Pot.
What the winner collects on today's pot
The Pot £40.00
→ Us (10%) −£4.00
To the winner £36.00
We take 10% of The Pot when it pays out, and nothing else — no percentage of
your entry, no fee to join, no charge to play for free. It is deducted once, from the
total, at the end of the season. The figures above are what today's pot would settle at;
the pot grows as more people enter, so the final numbers will be larger. Full details in the FAQs →

Don't fancy putting money in?
Play for free. You pick the same three players, sit on the same leaderboard and get
every page on the site — you just aren't playing for The Pot. Same game, and a free
entry can still finish top of the table.
More on the free tier →The closer to the end of the season, the higher the stakes.
One gameweek can change everything. A last-minute goal. A missed penalty. An injury in the 89th minute that rules your striker out for the rest of the season.
Just don't go over the top.
