How to play

Learn Champ before kickoff.

Champ is a free game where you and your friends bet virtual coins on real matches. Here’s everything, start to finish.

01

Getting started

Download Champ and sign in with Google, Facebook, Apple (on iPhone) or your email. It takes about 30 seconds.

  • Pick a username your rivals will remember, and a display name your friends will see.
  • Choose your champion - an avatar, then paint it in your colour.
  • Add your number (optional) so friends can find you from their contacts.

You start with a coin balance, so you can place your first bet straight away.

Then follow the leagues you care about - your home country’s leagues come first, and the big international competitions are always there. The Live tab shows today’s matches for the sports and leagues you follow.

Coins & Jack’s Shop

Coins are Champ’s play money. They have no cash value and can’t be withdrawn - Champ is a game, not gambling.

  • Earn coins by winning pots, claiming your daily streak, finishing daily tasks and inviting friends.
  • Top up in Jack’s Shop if you run low - coins and diamonds.
