World Cup 2026 Match Day Predictor

Give your players a seat at the table for the biggest football event of the year.

🌍 What is the Match Day Predictor?

The Match Day Predictor is a World Cup 2026 prediction feature available directly through your Rewards menu. Players predict match outcomes and scores to earn points, compete on leaderboards, and win prizes — all without leaving your platform.
The feature is available to all partners running Rewards, including casino-only operators, making it a straightforward way to offer players a sports-adjacent experience during the World Cup. Fast Track manages match results, point generation, and leaderboard updates automatically, leaving your team to focus on prizes and outbound promotion.

🛠️ How to set up?

The Match Day Predictor has three main sections that need to be set up:

⚙️ Settings

Game schedule and phases are managed by Fast Track. Gameweeks, match schedules, and the knockout phase are configured automatically. Your setup covers eligibility and prizes only.
Eligibility
Select which players can see and participate in the Matchday Predictor by choosing the relevant Player Origins and Communication Profiles. Only players belonging to the selected origins and profiles will have access to the feature.
Add Segment
Optionally apply a player segment to further narrow down which players can participate across all selected origins and communication profiles.
Before going live, we recommend targeting your Test Users via a Segment first to verify everything is working as expected. Once confirmed, you can remove the Segment and open it up to all eligible players.
Show Matchday Menu Item
Control when and how the Matchday Predictor appears in your Rewards menu.
  1. Menu Item Name: The label displayed to players in the Rewards menu. For example, "Matchday 2026".
  2. Show First in Menu: Toggle on to pin the Matchday Predictor to the first position of your Rewards menu.
  3. Show Before Tournament Start: Toggle on to make the menu item visible to players before the global tournament begins. Use the Time Before Start field to define how far in advance it appears, for example, 10 weeks before the tournament starts.

🌟 Player Experience

This step is where you configure the prize structure for each phase of the tournament. The page is split into five tabs: Global, Gameweek 1, Gameweek 2, Gameweek 3, and Knockout — each representing a distinct phase with its own prize ladder and date range.
A X/5 phases ready indicator at the top confirms how many phases have been configured and are ready to go.
Scoring Rules
For reference, the scoring rules are displayed on the right-hand side of the page and apply across all phases:
  1. Correct Score: 3 pts
  2. Correct Outcome: 1 pt
  3. Knockout: Correct Team: 2 pts
  4. Wrong Prediction: 0 pts
Configuring prizes per phase
Each tab follows the same prize configuration structure. Select a phase and configure the following:
  1. Global Prizes: Define the default prize ladder for this phase. Every eligible Origin and Communication Profile inherits these prizes unless a variation is added below.
  2. Position: The leaderboard position that receives this prize.
  3. Display Prize Name: The prize name shown to players on the leaderboard.
  4. Bonuses to Award: Select the Bonus or Bonuses to credit to players finishing in this position.
Click Add Prize to add further positions to the prize ladder, and Add More Prizes to assign additional Bonuses to an existing position.
Toggle on Turn on Range for this Prize to award the same prize across a range of positions rather than a single placement.
​
​
Variations and Translations
The Origin selector at the top of the page lets you switch between Global and your individual Origins. By default, all Origins inherit the Global prize ladder, but you can override this per Origin and Communication Profile if needed.
When viewing a selected Origin, the prize configuration switches to Optional Variation mode. Positions are locked to the default ladder, but you can override the prize name and Bonuses for that audience specifically. Any row left blank will continue to inherit the default value from the Global ladder.
A variation will not be saved until every row has a Display Prize Name and at least one Bonus to Award assigned. Until saved, players in that audience will receive the default ladder.
Use the Communication Profile icons next to the Origin selector to manage translations per Communication Profile, ensuring prize names are displayed in the correct language for each audience.

Pausing the package suspends all tournaments immediately. Players will not be able to earn points or make predictions while the package is paused. Resume as soon as your changes are saved.

Click it to re-enter the setup wizard, where you can navigate through the Settings, Player Experience, and Summary steps to make your changes. When you're satisfied, click Save Package to apply the updates.
Once saved, return to the Package Overview where all phases will still show as Paused. Click Resume All to relaunch the package. A confirmation modal will appear, confirming that all paused tournaments will be resumed, their instances re-created, and their status set back to Published.
