How to Predict
Esports Matches.
A complete beginner's guide to making predictions on Pickr.
Browse Upcoming Matches
Head to the Matches tab to see all upcoming esports matches. You can filter by game (CS2, Valorant, LoL, Dota 2, R6) or browse all matches at once. Matches are sorted by start time so you can easily find what's happening soon.
Select a Match
Tap on any match to see details. You'll see the two teams, the tournament, match format (BO1, BO3, etc.), and the start time. Predictions close 5 minutes before the match starts, so make sure to submit in time.
Enter Your Score Prediction
Predict the exact score of the match. For a BO3, you might predict 2-1 or 2-0. For a BO5, you could predict 3-2 or 3-0. The more accurate your prediction, the more rewards you earn.
Apply Stickers (Optional)
If you have a sticker for one of the teams, it will automatically be applied. When that team wins, you get bonus rewards — up to 2x at max level. Learn more in our sticker guide.
Use Boosters (Optional)
For matches where you're confident, apply up to 2 boosters to multiply your rewards. Each of the 8 booster types has different trigger conditions — some always fire, others only trigger on upsets. See the full breakdown in our boosters guide.
Submit and Wait
Once you submit your prediction, you're locked in. Watch the match and see if your prediction is correct. Results are updated automatically when the match ends.
Scoring System
Every prediction earns rewards. Even wrong predictions give you XP. Here's how the base rewards break down:
| Outcome | XP | Coins | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wrong prediction | 10 | 0 | 0 |
| Winner correct | 20 | 10 | 100 |
| Winner + exact score | 20 | 15 | 200 |
Underdog Bonus: Picking the less-popular team earns up to 1.6x more points when they win. The community prediction split affects your Coins and Points — going against the crowd is rewarded.
Pro Tips

- Exact score predictions earn double the points vs winner-only
