Learn how the optional Prediction Game works during SyntX World Cup 2026, including how to back Finalists with Welcoins and how rewards are calculated.
Prediction Game
Prediction Game is an optional, just-for-fun feature that runs during Break Week and Grand Final. You spend Welcoins to predict which Finalists will finish highest. No real money is involved, taking part is not required, and it has no effect on your own trading result.
Prediction Game is open to every participant, and also to other Weltrade clients who have a Welcoin balance.
Who you can bet on
You can place a bet on any participant who has reached the Grand Final of SyntX World Cup 2026. Bets are only accepted on the top 10 prize-winning positions of the contest.
Use the search function on the Prediction Game screen to quickly find the participant you want to back.
How to play?
Pick a Finalist and back them with at least 100 Welcoins. You can back up to 10 different Finalists, up to the per-Finalist maximum shown on screen.
There are two ways to place a bet: go to the game section, find the participant, and click Bet button next to their name — or click Bet button directly in the Prediction section, then confirm your bet.
After clicking Bet, you'll see the participant's details — name, contest results, and so on — before you finalize your wager.
All your active bets are listed on the game Dashboard, where you can track them at any time.
Welcoins are taken from your balance the moment you make the prediction.
Finalists are allowed to back themselves.
You can add extra Welcoins to an existing bet at any time before the Grand Final officially begins.
Once the Grand Final starts, all bets are locked and fixed — no further additions, changes, or cancellations are allowed.
My bet
All the bets you've placed appear in the My bet section of the Prediction Game screen, below the list of Finalists.
Each entry shows the Finalist you backed and how many Welcoins you've put behind them.
You can hold up to 10 active bets at a time, whether you spread them across 10 different Finalists or concentrate on fewer.
You can top up any of your existing bets with more Welcoins from here, right up until the Grand Final begins.
Once the Grand Final starts, the bets shown here are locked - no further additions, changes, or cancellations.
How rewards work
You earn Welcoins for each Finalist you backed who finishes in the Grand Final top 10.
The higher they finish, the bigger your reward: the weighting runs from 10 for 1st place down to 1 for 10th place. Anything below 10th place carries a weight of zero and earns nothing.
Welcoins backed on a Finalist who misses the top 10 are not returned.
Rewards are worked out only from the final, verified Grand Final results, so no amount is fixed or guaranteed when you make a prediction.
The total prize pool — all Welcoins wagered by every player — is divided among Prediction Game participants who placed winning bets, according to each position's weighting.
The final payout also depends on the total number of bets placed on that particular winner and the overall size of the prize fund.
If you correctly guess several finishing positions (for example, 1st, 5th, and 7th place), you receive a payout for each correct guess.
Welcoins from bets that don't land on a winning position are transferred into the general Prediction Game prize fund and distributed among the winners.
Rewards are calculated and credited after the results are officially published and all disqualification checks are finished. If a Finalist you backed is later disqualified, your prediction is settled on the final verified results and is not refunded.
Betting on a disqualified participant
If you bet on a participant who is later disqualified, you win nothing — a disqualified participant is treated as finishing outside the prize positions.
A disqualified participant can still win Welcoins from their own bets, but only on bets they placed on other participants — not on themselves. If they bet on themselves and are then disqualified, that particular bet is lost.
What this means for your W-Club status
Top Grand Final finishers receive a temporary W-Club status upgrade and get all the benefits of that tier for the stated period.
If you already hold the same status or a higher one, nothing is downgraded.
When the temporary status expires, you return automatically to the level you have earned under the normal W-Club rules.
Welcoins and Welcoin Boosters won in the contest, including Prediction Game, are credited to your W-Club balance and follow Welcoin Loyalty Program rules.
