FAQ

Rivaly is a sports prediction game where you compete against your friends. You predict the scores of real matches, earn points based on how accurate your predictions are, and climb the leaderboard inside your private group.

Yes — Rivaly is free to join and play. Create an account, make predictions, and compete with friends at no cost.

Rivaly currently supports football (soccer) tournaments including major international competitions like the FIFA World Cup and continental championships. More sports and leagues are being added over time.

Head to the Swipe page from your dashboard. You'll be shown upcoming matches one at a time — swipe or tap to enter your predicted score for each game. You can predict as many or as few matches as you like.

Yes, you can update your predictions at any time before the match kicks off. Once a match has started, your prediction is locked in.

Predictions must be submitted before the match kicks off. The exact kick-off time is shown on each match card. We recommend predicting in advance so you don't miss the window.

You earn points based on how close your predicted score is to the actual result. An exact score prediction earns the most points. Getting the correct result (win/draw/loss) but the wrong score earns fewer points. A completely wrong result earns none.

An exact score means you predicted both the home and away goals correctly (e.g. you said 2–1 and it ended 2–1). A correct result means you got the outcome right (home win, away win, or draw) but the scoreline was different (e.g. you said 2–1 but it ended 3–1).

Your accuracy percentage reflects how often your predictions have been correct — either an exact score or the right result — out of all the matches you've predicted. It's shown on the leaderboard alongside your points to give a fuller picture of your form.

Go to the Groups page from your dashboard and tap "Create group". Give it a name, link it to a competition, and you're done. You'll receive an invite code to share with friends.

From inside your group, tap "Copy invite link" or "Show invite code". Share the link or code with anyone — they can join directly from the link or by entering the code on the Join page.

There's no strict cap on group size — the more the merrier. Larger groups just mean a more competitive leaderboard.

The leaderboard ranks every member of the group by their total points earned from predictions within the linked competition. It updates automatically after each match result is confirmed. You can also see each person's accuracy percentage to compare consistency.

The Predicted Table simulates the group-stage standings based entirely on your score predictions. It's a fun way to see how the groups would look if your predictions all came true. Matches you haven't predicted are ignored.

The Knockout Stage tab shows the bracket for the elimination rounds. You can view predicted outcomes or actual results as the tournament progresses.

The Table tab shows the real, official group-stage standings from the competition — updated as results come in. It's the live version to compare against your Predicted Table.

Go to your Profile page and tap the edit button. You can update your display name and profile photo from there.

On the login page, tap "Forgot password" and enter your email address. You'll receive a link to set a new password.

Open the group and tap "Leave group" from the hero section. If you're the group owner, you'll see a "Delete group" option instead, which removes the group and all its members. Your personal predictions are never deleted — they're stored globally.
