Game Rules

Objective: Build the longest winning streak by correctly picking one team to win each day.

• You pick one team to win from the fixtures available on the current Banker Day.
• Get the pick right and your streak increases by one.
• Get it wrong and your streak resets to zero.
• You can make one Banker pick per day. The pick applies across all of your leagues and to solo play.
• If a fixture is voided (postponed, cancelled or abandoned), your streak is protected and the pick does not count against you.
• Picks lock at kickoff — you cannot change a pick once the fixture has started.

Objective: Survive each gameweek and be the last player remaining in the round.

• Each gameweek, pick one team from your league’s selected competition to win.
• If your team wins, you survive to the next gameweek.
• If your team draws or loses, you are eliminated from the round.
• You cannot pick the same team twice within the same round.
• Picks lock at the gameweek deadline (one hour before the first fixture in that round).
• If you miss the deadline, the missed-pick rule chosen for your league applies: either the highest-ranked available team is auto-assigned, or you are eliminated immediately.
• A round is won by being the last surviving player. If all remaining players are eliminated in the same gameweek, the round resets and surviving players start fresh.
• Players who join a league after a round has started enter as spectators and become eligible to pick from the next round.

Objective: Grow your virtual coin balance by correctly picking football results.

• You start with a virtual balance of 1,000 Banker Coins.
• Each day you can make one pick: choose a team to win from the available fixtures.
• You set a virtual coin stake for your pick. The minimum stake is 10 coins and the maximum stake is 75% of your current Coin balance.
• Players choose how aggressively to play. Higher stakes can create larger leaderboard gains but also significantly reduce your Coin balance after an unsuccessful pick.
• If your team wins, your stake is returned doubled (your profit equals your stake).
• If your team draws or loses, your stake is lost.
• If a fixture is voided, your stake is refunded.
• You can only place a pick if your balance is high enough to make a legal minimum stake (at least 20 coins).
• Restore packs may be available to reset your balance when it drops below the playable threshold. During the current test phase, restore packs are simulated and admin-controlled only.

Terms such as “stake”, “win”, “loss” and “balance” in The Coin League refer exclusively to these virtual gameplay mechanics and never to real money.
