Here is your no-nonsense guide to Pools, powered by Who Knows Wins. Let’s do this!

General

Pools is a prediction game where there are ‘Leagues’ – usually a number of sporting fixtures – in which you pick the selections/ outcomes you think will win. You get a point for each correct prediction and the player with the highest number of points is the winner. Simple! Each player pays an entry fee to participate in the League and all entry fees go in to the prize pot* which, usually, offers prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.

In order to join a pool (league) you will need to register an account and make a deposit (minimum £5). A commission is deducted from the total prize pot prior to winnings being distributed, total commission deducted is shown at the start of each pool (league).
