The competition is being rolled out across 25 countries with the World Cup Predictor feeding in the latest match betting odds to guide players on making their predictions, and for those players keen to back their match predictions; links to the Sportingbet World Cup markets are available.
 
To qualify to play, the punter has to begin with a GBP10 bet through the site before 11 June on any sports market with odds of 1.2 or greater. He or she will then be allocated a play code to enter predictions.
 
The promo is Sportingbet’s flagship marketing initiative this summer and has been designed with the highest level of security, full integration with the client’s existing infrastructure and against an immovable deadline such as the FIFA World Cup.
