How It Works

How PredictX Works

A live event, a question, and ten seconds to make your call. Here is the whole loop — from picking an event to the tokens landing in your balance.

The Three-Step Loop

Three steps. Ten seconds. Any event, any moment.

01

Pick a Live Event

Browse live events — cricket, football, F1, movies, entertainment — with prediction markets updated in real time.

02

Make Your Call

YES or NO — commit tokens to your prediction in one tap. No teams to build, no complexity.

03

Settles Automatically

Market resolves from live match data — no manual review, no waiting on an admin. On to the next prediction.

Step 01

Pick an event

Start with something already in motion — a cricket match mid-over, a football fixture, a race weekend, an awards night, a market open.

  • Live events surface first, because those are the ones resolving in minutes rather than days.
  • Categories span sports, entertainment, finance, politics, business, science and culture.
  • Nothing to build and no line-up to manage — you are picking a moment, not a season.

Step 02

Explore the outcomes

Every event carries its own set of questions. Some are a straight YES or NO, others offer several outcomes to choose between.

  • Match-level questions run for the whole game; ball and over questions open and close within minutes.
  • Each outcome shows what the crowd currently thinks and how many tokens sit behind it.
  • Micro-markets accept entries from a single token, so a quick call costs almost nothing.

What happens in over 15?

A boundary is hit68%
A wicket falls19%
Neither13%

Ball-by-ball and over-by-over markets open from 1 token, so a single match gives you hundreds of calls.

Step 03

Read the crowd probability

That percentage next to an outcome is not a house price. It is the crowd's own money-free consensus: the share of the pool committed to it.

  • When 1,360 of 2,000 tokens sit on YES, YES reads 68%.
  • A low percentage means the crowd doubts it — which is precisely where a correct call pays the most.
  • Nobody sets these numbers for you and no algorithm nudges them. Participants move them by committing tokens.

1,360 of 2,000 tokens sit on YES — that share is the 68%.

Step 04

Make your prediction

Choose a side, choose an amount, confirm. That is the whole interaction — usually under ten seconds.

  • Preset amounts get you in fast; the slider is there when you want to be precise.
  • You always see an estimated return before confirming, based on the probability at that moment.
  • Everyone starts with 1,000 free tokens and earns more daily. Nothing is ever purchased.

Commit tokens

Estimated payout~140 tokens

An estimate, not a quote — the final figure depends on where the pool lands by the time the market settles.

Step 05

Watch the market move

From the moment you are in, the market keeps breathing. Probabilities re-price continuously as other people commit and as the event unfolds.

  • Updates stream in real time — no refreshing, no waiting for a page to catch up.
  • Pool size, participant count and probability all move together as entries land.
  • Being early on an outcome the crowd later agrees with is exactly how a position gains value.

Step 06

Automatic resolution

When the outcome is known, settlement is immediate and mechanical. There is no queue, no review, and nobody deciding case by case.

  • Official live data feeds confirm the result and trigger settlement — typically inside five seconds.
  • The pool is shared out after a 5% platform rake: 1,900 of 2,000 divided across the correct side.
  • Everyone correct is paid at the same ratio per token — your share depends only on how much you committed.

Step 07

Rewards and leaderboards

Tokens are the score. Where you sit relative to everyone else is the point — and there is more than one board to climb.

  • Global, group and per-match leaderboards, each updating as markets settle.
  • Your Beat the Crowd score tracks how often you were right when the majority was wrong.
  • Daily rewards, streaks, referral bonuses and achievement badges keep the balance topped up.

Groups and social play

Predicting alone settles nothing. Bring the people whose opinions you actually argue with.

  • Create a private league, share an eight-character invite code, and predict the same markets together.
  • Group chat, head-to-head challenges and a live group leaderboard come built in.
  • PRO groups can run multi-match tournaments with a shared prize pool.

Step 09

Change your mind

A prediction is not a one-way door. Two exits exist, and which one you use depends on whether the market has already started moving.

  • Withdraw while the market is open for a full refund — no fee, as though you never entered.
  • Sell your entry at its current value instead, keeping the gain if the crowd has come round to your side.
  • Selling carries a 2% exit fee; withdrawing carries none.

Withdraw

NO FEE

Pull an entry out while the market is still open and every token comes back, exactly as committed.

refund = tokens committed

Sell your entry

2% EXIT FEE

Take the current value of your position before the market settles — worth more than you put in if the crowd has moved your way, less if it hasn't.

payout = tokens × probability − 2%

Everything You Need to Know

Still unclear? Write to us at support@thepredictx.com

No. PredictX is a skill-based prediction game. Tokens have absolutely zero monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash, sold, or redeemed in any way. No real money ever enters or leaves the platform. Read our Risk Disclosure for the full explanation.

Completely free — forever. You start with 1,000 tokens and earn more by playing daily, building win streaks, inviting friends (referral bonuses), and joining groups. There are no paid purchases, subscriptions, or paywalls.

Every prediction resolves automatically within seconds of the real-world event outcome using live data feeds. There is no human intervention and no delay. You see your result — and your token change — within 5 seconds of the event.

Beat the Crowd (BTC) measures how often you predicted correctly when the majority of other users predicted wrong. If 70% of users predicted "no boundary" and you called the boundary correctly, your BTC score rises. It's a pure skill indicator that separates smart predictors from crowd-followers.

Create a group and share the 8-character invite code with up to 50 friends. Everyone predicts the same live markets, and your group gets its own real-time leaderboard, group chat, head-to-head challenge mode, and optional token tournaments. Learn more about Leagues →
