How points work

1. How a Gameweek Pool works

Every member of a Circle pool picks markets on the fixtures of one gameweek. Each correct pick earns the points in the tables above. When every fixture in the gameweek has a final result, your points are added up and everyone in the pool is ranked. Picks lock one hour before the earliest kick-off, and everyone’s picks become visible to the pool once they lock.

The points are set by Matchwik and are the same in every Circle, so a score means the same thing everywhere. If Matchwik changes them, this page always shows the current values.

2. Ties

Players level on points share their positions like a poker tournament. If two players tie for first, they occupy first and second place and split the combined prize of those two places equally; the next player is third. A tie that straddles the last paid position shares only what that position pays.

Example with prizes of 60% / 30% / 10%: two players tied for first each receive (60% + 30%) ÷ 2 = 45%, and the third-placed player receives 10%.

3. Prizes and the platform fee

The Circle owner or admin decides how the pool is shared between finishing positions when they create it (for example 60% / 30% / 10%, or winner takes all).

• The whole pool is always paid out. If the prize settings add up to less than 100%, or fewer people entered than there are paid positions, the unassigned share is divided equally among the winners who are paid. Example: 50% / 30% / 20% with only two entrants: first place gets 50% + 10% = 60%, second gets 30% + 10% = 40%.
• A platform fee of 8% is deducted from each prize. The rate is set by Matchwik and can change; the rate at settlement applies.
• Prizes are paid into winners’ wallets automatically as soon as the last fixture is final. If a pool is voided, every entry fee is refunded.
