Sweepstakes casino Crown Coins has launched its biggest free-to-play promotion yet – it’s Crown Sports, with millions of free SC available to all members!
You might not know it from the name, but this is a celebration of the FIFA soccer World Cup taking place right now across Mexico, Canada, and the USA.
Crown Coins members can get involved and win their share of Sweepstakes Coins (SC) from the huge prize pools just by predicting match outcomes and scores. There’s zero cost to play and SC can be redeemed into real cash prizes (after a 1x playthrough), so there’s little reason not to take part.
The World Cup final will be held at MetLife Stadium on July 19, and Crown Coins’ tournament runs all the way up till this date, playing out over various stages. Let’s get into the details below.
How Crown Sports Picks Work
Crown Sports is Crown Coins’ free prediction game tied to the FIFA World Cup 2026. Players pick match outcomes and compete for a share of massive SC prize pools with no purchase required – just make your picks and win!
The format runs across two mechanics:
Power Picks
Players predict a win, tie, or loss for the home team in each fixture, and the more correct picks, the bigger the share of the prize pool.
The predictions are made on a form within the Crown Coins site/app, and each form contains 15+ fixtures. So the group stage of the World Cup is essentially blocked out into three chunks.
We’re currently on the second chunk, so players can log in right now and make their predictions for games from Czechia vs. South Africa on June 18 all the way through Panama vs. Croatia on June 24.
Once your guesses are locked in, it’s simply a case of waiting for the fixtures to play out, and you can even track the results of live games within the Crown Sports tab.
When the games are over, you’ll receive your share of prizes from the prize pool (3,000,000 SC total across all group stage forms) for any correct picks.
Then it’s the same system once we get into the round of 32, the knockout stage of the tournament. It’s one form covering all 16 knockout games here, and another 1,000,000 SC in prizes available!
Game of the Day
When we get into the final 16 of the knockout stage, the format switches to ‘Game of the Day’, with players predicting the exact score of one match per day. By this point, it’s more important to take part rather than get the score right per se, as every entry (right or wrong) earns a raffle ticket for the grand prize draw after the final, with up to 2,000,000 SC on the line. But correct predictions will certainly give you bragging rights amongst your friends!
First place winner in the raffle will take 1,000,000 SC, and 99 other winners will share the other half. The raffle draw takes place on July 20, one day after the final.
Crown Sports World Cup 2026 Timeline and Prizes
To recap, here’s the full timeline below:
| Dates | Stage |
|---|---|
| Jun 7 - 11 | Celebration Kickoff + Form #1 opens (make picks before first games start) |
| Jun 11 - 18 | Form #1 closes, Form #2 opens (group stage second leg) |
| Jun 18 - 28 | Form #2 closes, Form #3 opens (group stage last leg) |
| Jun 28 - Jul 3 | Round of 32 form live |
| Jul 4 - 7 | Round of 16, Game of the Day begins |
| Jul 9 - 11 | Quarter Finals |
| Jul 14 - 15 | Semi Finals |
| Jul 19 | Final ⚽ |
| Jul 20 | Grand raffle draw |
The prize pools are:
- 1,000,000 SC for each of the 3 forms in the group stages
- 1,000,000 SC for the round of 32 form
- 2,000,000 SC for the final raffle
That’s a stunning 4,000,000 SC available in total!
The nature of a prize pool game means the resulting rewards do depend on the guesses by other players. For example, Crown Coins predicts that in the current chunk of group stage games:
- 16 correct picks will net you the whole prize pool (1,000,000 SC and 20,000,000,000 CC)
- 15 correct picks will net you 100,000 SC and 2,000,000,000 CC
- 14 correct picks will net you 10,000 SC and 200,000,000 CC
- 13 correct picks will net you 1,000 SC and 20,000,000 CC
- 12 correct picks will net you 100 SC and 2,000,000 CC
