One of the most popular sportsbook operators, bet365, has partnered with Incentive Games, a leading B2B games provider, to announce the launch of two new games for bet365 customers to participate in during upcoming summer soccer tournaments.
These free-to-play games are called The Group Stage Predictor and are a free-to-play product offered by bet365, built by Incentive Games.
It’s now available for both the 2024 UEFA Euro and Copa America international soccer tournaments. The UEFA Euro Championship runs from June 14 - July 14, while Copa America kicks off on June 20 and ends on July 14.
Group Stage Predictor details
Registered customers on bet365 can enter both the Euro Finals Group Stage Predictor and Copa Finals Group Stage Predictor in an attempt to win a share of its massive prize pool.
Entrants into either free-to-play contest are tasked with predicting the outcome of every group match in both the Euro and Copa finals. Outcomes include win, lose, or draw. Users can even edit their predictions for matches until they kick off.
Each correct pick earns a participant a certain number of points. Points gradually increase in point value as the tournament progresses, starting with 10 points for Match Day 1, then increasing to 20 points for Match Day 2, and concluding with 30 points for Match Day 3. The more correct match outcomes that a player predicts, the more points they accrue, ascending the leaderboard. This also includes a jackpot worth over $1 million to any entrant who correctly predicts the outcome of every game.
This product is only available to new and eligible bet365 customers, who must be at least 21 years old and physically located in a legal sports betting state or jurisdiction. Only one entry is permitted per customer. Entries can be edited or reset pre-match only, so once a fixture is in play, no changes can be made.
Entry to Group Stage Predictor is different from standard bet placement and all other bet365 promotional offers are not applicable. Euro entries close at kick-off of the last scheduled game of Match Day 1 on Tuesday, June 18, while Copa entries close at kick-off of the last scheduled game of Match Day 1 on Tuesday, June 25.
