How to play

One pick a day. Back a winner, spend smart, and climb the global leaderboard. Here's everything you need to know.

The gist

The Daily Derby is a daily football prediction game. Every day you get five real matches and pick one team to win. Good calls earn trophies and push you up the leaderboard; you manage a stash of in-game Football Money (F$) along the way. It's a game — F$ is not real money.

You start with F$ 10.00 and earn +F$ 4.00 every day.

The daily loop

  1. 1
    Get your matchesEach day you're dealt five real upcoming matches, drawn just for you from the global pool.
  2. 2
    Make one pickChoose a single team you think will win — or sit the day out with No selection. You can change it freely until the daily lock.
  3. 3
    Pay the priceEach team costs F$ based on its odds (pricier teams are bigger favourites). The cost leaves your balance when you pick.
  4. 4
    Matches play outAfter kickoff, results settle automatically and your trophies move by the outcome.
  5. 5
    Reset & repeatAt the daily reset you get fresh matches, your income tops up your balance, and a new round begins.

Football Money (F$)

Every team option has an F$ price set by its odds — a strong favourite costs more, a long shot is cheaper (the formula is 10 / odds). Picking a team spends that amount from your balance; switching picks refunds the old one and charges the new. Options you can't afford are disabled.

No selection is always free and selected by default — but sitting a day out costs you trophies (see below).

Scoring

Trophies are your score and your leaderboard rank. They can go negative. Each settled day moves your total:

+3
WinYour picked team won its match.
0
DrawThe match ended level — no harm, no reward.
-1
LossYour team lost. Only a loss breaks your win streak.
-2
No selectionYou sat the day out and made no pick.
+1
New missionBonus trophy each time you complete a mission.

Win streak & leaderboard

Win on consecutive days to build a win streak — only a loss resets it, while draws and sat-out days leave it untouched. The global leaderboard ranks every player by total trophies, alongside their money spent and best streak.

Daily reset

Everything resets at 00:00 UTC: a fresh set of matches, your daily income, and a clean slate to make the next pick. Miss a day and it counts as No selection.
