Frequently Asked Questions

PredictX is a real-time, skill-based prediction game for anyone who loves sports, movies, or live events. You make predictions during live events — cricket, football, F1, movies, entertainment — and your results are revealed within seconds. Your score measures how often you were right, especially when the crowd was wrong.

Completely free — forever. Download the app on iOS or Android at no cost, or play at app.thepredictx.com. There are no in-app purchases, subscriptions, or hidden charges of any kind.

Yes — a free account is required so your predictions, tokens, and leaderboard rank are saved. Sign up takes under 30 seconds using Google Sign-In. You'll also need to confirm you're 18 or older (age gate is mandatory).

All three. Download on iOS App Store, Google Play, or open app.thepredictx.com in any browser. The web version is a full-featured experience with no install required.

18 or older. Age verification is mandatory during sign-up and enforced at the platform level. See our Responsible Play page for details.

During a live event, markets open for specific outcomes — "Will this ball be a dot ball?", "Will the team score 15+ runs this over?", "Will this driver finish on the podium?". You see the real-time crowd probability split (e.g., 62% YES / 38% NO), stake your tokens on YES or NO, and the market resolves automatically when the event concludes.

Automatically. Every market connects to live data feeds and resolves within 5 seconds of the outcome. Token changes are applied instantly. There is no human intervention and results cannot be disputed or altered.

BTC measures how often you were right when the majority was wrong. If 75% of users predicted "no boundary" and you correctly called a six, your BTC score rises significantly. It's a skill indicator: a BTC of 60%+ means you outpredict the crowd consistently. It's more meaningful than raw win rate.

Tokens are PredictX's virtual currency — they have zero real monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash. You start with 1,000 tokens and earn more through: daily login bonuses, correct predictions (parimutuel pool returns), win streaks, referral bonuses (500 tokens per friend who joins), group creation rewards (300 tokens), group join bonuses (100 tokens), and daily spin rewards.

Yes — a 10,000 token daily spend cap applies to all users. This cannot be bypassed and is part of our responsible play design. The cap resets at midnight IST. See Responsible Play for more.

Groups are private prediction leagues you create with friends. Everyone predicts the same live markets independently, and your group gets a shared leaderboard ranked by accuracy and token P&L. Includes group chat, prediction reactions, and group-vs-world stats. Up to 50 members per group.

Create: Open PredictX → Groups → Create Group → Share the 8-character invite code. You receive 300 bonus tokens for creating a group.

Join: Get an invite code from a friend → Groups → Join a Group → Enter code. You receive 100 bonus tokens for joining. Or visit thepredictx.com/join?ref=CODE directly.

H2H Challenges let you directly challenge any group member on a specific market. Pick a market, pick an opponent, stake 10–1,000 tokens — if they accept, the winner takes both stakes when the market resolves. If they decline or don't respond in 7 days, the challenge expires automatically.

Tournaments are multi-match competitions run inside a group. Group admins set an entry fee in tokens, members join the tournament, and the prize pool is distributed to the top 3 finishers based on cumulative match performance. Tournaments require a PRO group upgrade (500 tokens for 30 days). Learn more at /groups.

No. Absolutely not. Tokens are a virtual game currency with zero real-world monetary value. They cannot be sold, transferred for value, or redeemed for any goods or services. This is a non-negotiable design choice and is legally binding under our Terms of Service.

Staked tokens enter a parimutuel pool for that market. If your side wins, you receive a proportional share of the total pool (minus a 5% platform fee). If your side loses, your staked tokens are distributed to the winning side. All settlements happen automatically within seconds.

Tokens do not expire during normal account activity. If your account is inactive for an extended period or is banned for rule violations, tokens may be forfeited per our Terms of Service.

No. PredictX is a skill-based prediction game, not a gambling or betting platform. No real money changes hands. Tokens have zero monetary value. The platform is classified as a game of skill under Indian law (consistent with Supreme Court precedents on rummy and fantasy sports). Read our detailed Risk Disclosure.

We take responsible play seriously: 18+ age gate (mandatory), 10,000 token daily spend cap (cannot be bypassed), 2-hour session alerts prompting you to take a break, and self-exclusion options (24 hours / 7 days / 30 days / indefinite). Visit Responsible Play to configure these settings.
