Prizes

You don't have to lead from day one

With a runner-up prize, three stage prizes and a ZINGO Zone prize, there is something to play for right through to the final. Miss the group stage? Pick yourself up for the R32. Save your magic for the knockouts? There's a prize with your name on it.

Tiebreakers

If players finish level on points for any prize, the winner is decided by two short predictions on the ZINGO Zone Player of the Tournament page:

1. Minute of the first goal in the World Cup Final. Pick any minute 1'–120'+5, or "PENS" if the Final goes to a penalty shootout.
2. Total goals across the 8 knockout-finals matches (Quarter-Finals + Semi-Finals + 3rd-place + Final, including penalty-shootout goals).

Closest answer wins. If still tied after both, the earliest valid tiebreaker entry wins.

Tiebreakers are open between matches for anyone who hasn't submitted yet (with a 45-min cool-off before each kick-off). Once you submit, your answers are final the moment the next match kicks off. That keeps things fair between early submitters and late joiners.

When are winners paid?

Cash prizes activate in tiers as the game grows:

• €150 prizes + ZINGO Zone unlock at 150 verified players. Currently active.
• €200 prize (Knockout Finals) unlocks at 200 verified players.
• €250 prizes (Runner-up, Best Mini-League Creator) unlock at 250 verified players. Best Mini-League Creator also requires 20 mini-leagues with 10+ active players each.
• €1,000 main prize + Zayu™ trophy (Overall Winner) unlocks at 1,000 verified players.

"Verified" = signed-up accounts that have confirmed their email. Once a tier is unlocked, those prizes are guaranteed and paid out. All winners are paid after the World Cup Final, once final scores and tiebreakers have been applied. Live standings are visible throughout the tournament. A single player can win more than one prize. Non-cash prizes (FIFA merch, the Zayu™ trophy, ZINGO Assortment) are awarded to the leaderboard winners regardless of which tiers unlock.
