You win nothing from Copabet, it's not a betting site. However, make sure to join one of our Sponsored Groups 0️⃣ where mighty fine prizes are at stake.
No. Copabet gives you the freedom to predict the Group Stage and the Play-Off 0️⃣ Stage just as you like. As we are not predicting specific match results, it is not possible to have a 0️⃣ logical link between the Group Stage and the Play-Off Stage. So, you can essentially have France to loose each game 0️⃣ in the Group Stage, but still pick them as Group Winners for the Play-Off Stage. That’s just the way it 0️⃣ is.
First, you predict the outcome of every single Group Stage game. Who will win the game or if you predict 0️⃣ a draw (X). Then, in the Play-Off Stage, you predict how the teams make their way, all the way to 0️⃣ the final Champions. You do not predict specific match results.
No. The whole idea of Copabet is that you make your 0️⃣ prediction and then stick with it from the opening game all the way through the opening game to the final.
One. 0️⃣ That is the beauty and challenge of Copabet. You can only believe in one single outcome, so think it through. 0️⃣ Make your prediction, then stick with it.
Before the event begins, no one can see your Scorecard except you. As soon 0️⃣ as the opening games starts – everyone can see your Scorecard!
Yes, you can change your Scorecard as many times as 0️⃣ you want up until two hours before the opening game begins. Remember to save your Scorecard!
No. In Copabet, you predict 0️⃣ only the winning team of the game or it's a draw. You do not predict specific results or scores.
First you 0️⃣ need to register, then start creating your Scorecard. Simply click/tap the flag or name of the team that you think 0️⃣ will win each match. If you predict a draw; select X.
Your Scorecard. Create your Scorecard and then you compete with 0️⃣ friends in different groups. Copabet is a game where you can see who makes the best prediction of the World 0️⃣ Cup.
It amplifies the adrenaline! It just makes every game so much more exciting! And beating your friends in the meantime 0️⃣ is like icing on the proverbial cake.
A Scorecard is what you compete with. It is your prediction of every game 0️⃣ – all games in the Group Stage and a complete scenario of the Playoff stage. And you have to make 0️⃣ all of your predictions before the event begins.

Groups
What are groups?

Can groups be public?

Can I create more than one group?
Yes. 0️⃣ However, you can participate in a maximum of 10 groups so that's how many you can create. But perhaps you'd 0️⃣ like to join somebody else's group as well?
How many groups can I join?

What is the Copabet Global League?
Every single Scorecard competes in the 0️⃣ Copabet Global League. This is for bragging rights only, there are no prizes to be won.
Points on Scorecard
How do I 0️⃣ get points
For every correct game prediction you get points. The points you get are based on two factors: Game Value 0️⃣ and Friendly Odds™. The Game Value increases for each stage as the tournament progresses. Getting the Champions right will get 0️⃣ you loads of points! In each group, the amount of points you get is determined by what everyone else have 0️⃣ predicted. We call it Friendly Odds™ and it will award upsets and underdogs.
How do I get points – the long 0️⃣ version?
For every correct game prediction you get points. The points you get are based on two factors:
1. Game Value The 0️⃣ value of the games increase the further we get into the tournament. These are the points for each stage: Group 0️⃣ Stage Games = 100 points. Round of Sixteen = 200 points. Quarter Finals = 300 points. Semi Finals = 500 0️⃣ points. Final and third place = 750 points. Winner = 1000 points.
2. Friendly Odds™
The more people getting it right, the 0️⃣ less points each person with a correct prediction gets. We call it Friendly Odds™ as it is not Copabet who 0️⃣ sets the odds – rather you and your friends do! This system awards upsets and underdogs, so think it through!
In 0️⃣ the Playoff Stage there is a rule that we call the Mastermind model after the famous, and may we say 0️⃣ great, 1970’s board game. The rule can be stated as follows: Correct team in the correct place and correct team 0️⃣ in the wrong place. Here is the logic behind the Mastermind model: Let’s say you predict a team to win 0️⃣ a group, for example, France to win group F. You also predict that France will go all the way and 0️⃣ win the Championship. France will then proceed throughout the Playoff Stage via a specific route in the Playoff grid. If 0️⃣ your Scorecard prediction is exactly correct then all is fine and dandy - you will collect loads of points and 0️⃣ be in the running for winning the groups in which you compete. But, here’s the thing, if France actually wins 0️⃣ the Championship, as you predicted, but was the runner up in their group, then they will reach the final from 0️⃣ a totally different path in the Playoff grid. If the Mastermind model didn’t exist, then this prediction would yield no 0️⃣ points. And this would just feel wrong. So, a Scorecard where the correct team reaches a particular stage in the 0️⃣ Playoff Stages, but happens to be in the wrong slot still gets points. If there are no Scorecards that have 0️⃣ predicted the correct team in the correct slot, but there are Scorecards that have the correct team in the wrong 0️⃣ slot – these Scorecards will receive points as if one Scorecard had the correct team in the correct slot.
Is there 0️⃣ a mathematical formula for Group Stage games?
Yes, it's a linear equation. Max value (if only 1 correct prediction in a 0️⃣ group) = Game Value. Min value (if all predictions in a group are correct) = Game Value/10.
Privacy
Where can I find 0️⃣ information about your privacy policy?
Your personal information is very important to us – and to you. Our goal is to 0️⃣ maintain your confidence by processing your personal data with due consideration and by giving you the control.

If we ever carry 0️⃣ out any significant changes in our privacy policy, we will inform you. If necessary, we will also ask for your 0️⃣ permission.

What information do you have stored and where do you get it from?
We collect and store different types 0️⃣ of information about you; contact details, your preferences, and of course, your predictions/scorecards. The storing of this data happens when 0️⃣ you create/update an account, fill out a scorecard, contact us or use our web pages, apps and social media.
We also 0️⃣ use Google Analytics to monitor how our users interact with our website (this is completely anonymous though) and "cookies" to 0️⃣ make your login process and language selection smoother. More thorough information about the cookies we store is available in our 0️⃣ cookie policy.
Why have you removed the option to login with Facebook?
There are a number of reasons behind this decision, both 0️⃣ technical and ethical, but let's just say we're not huge fans of Facebook's handling of personal data. And when Apple 0️⃣ tried to force us implement "Log in with Apple", just to keep the Facebook login option in the app, it 0️⃣ felt like it was time to move forward without the tech giants and their power struggle.
I used to login with 0️⃣ Facebook, what do I do now?
We've tried to make it as smooth as possible for you to login with e-mail 0️⃣ and password instead. You can login on Copabet with the same e-mail address that you use to login on Facebook, 0️⃣ you just need to set a password. Simply go to copabet/forgot and enter your e-mail address (the one you use 0️⃣ on Facebook that is) and you'll get an e-mail that let's you set a password of your choice. Note! If 0️⃣ this seems difficult or perhaps you would like to use some other e-mail address than the one you use for 0️⃣ Facebook, then feel free to simply register a new account with a different e-mail address.
How do you use my information?
We 0️⃣ use your information in various ways. Most importantly we want to ensure a smooth Copabet experience with intuitive functionality easing 0️⃣ the process of logging in, saving your scorecard, inviting your friends, etc.
Additionally, we may use your info for marketing purposes, 0️⃣ mostly in connection with Sponsored Groups and to deliver sponsored messages in group chats and news feeds. However, we very 0️⃣ rarely share your personal data, see below.
Do you share my information with anybody else and if so, why?
As a rule 0️⃣ of thumb, we do not share your personal data with any external parties. With a few exceptions:
1) When we’re required 0️⃣ by law to do so.
2) To deliver our service to you; i.e server hosting providers.
3) Should you join any Sponsored 0️⃣ Groups, we may share your contact details with the Group Owner for marketing purposes. If you’re not comfortable with this, 0️⃣ which we totally respect, simply do not join any Sponsored Groups. Sponsored Groups will always be clearly labelled.
What are my 0️⃣ rights and options?
Among other rights, you can choose to unsubscribe from our e-mails. You also have the right to access 0️⃣ all the information we have about you and the “right to be forgotten”, i.e for us to delete all of 0️⃣ your personal data. Simply contact info@copabet and we’ll assist you with any of that.
Do you take good care of my 0️⃣ personal data?
Your data is very important, to you and to us, and we want you to know that we always 0️⃣ do everything within our powers to keep your data secure. Both from a technical perspective (servers, encryption, etc) as well 0️⃣ as how we handle the data and share it with others.
