What is the Jupiter World Cup Challenge?
A promo from Jupiter Prediction on Solana: a prediction contest, not a classic sportsbook. All 72 group-stage matches are listed. You pick exactly 5 games and the result of each. If all five are correct, you join the winner list and split the relevant pool. More winners means a smaller share per person.
How much can you win: freeroll, paid, and bracket?
Total challenge prize money is $125,000, plus a separate $12,000 community bracket challenge (free entry).
| Mode | Prize pool | Entry | Tickets | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freeroll | $25,000 | $0 | 1 per person | 5 matches, all correct - split pool |
| Paid pool | $100,000 | $10 | multiple | plus extra freeroll slip |
| Bracket bonus | $12,000 | $0 | 1 | knockout bracket, separate challenge |
How does the $25,000 freeroll work?
Every user gets one free ticket. Use it for 5 group-stage predictions. If all five hit, you split $25,000 with everyone else who went 5/5. Example: 50 winners - $500 each. One free ticket per person, no second freeroll without paid entry.
How does the $100,000 paid pool work?
Each paid ticket costs $10 (USDC/SOL on Solana). You can buy multiple tickets with different sets of 5 matches. Perfect paid tickets split $100,000. Bonus: each paid entry adds an extra freeroll slip (on top of your one free ticket).
Why can't you pick outcomes above 70% odds?
Core rule: you cannot pick an outcome with current odds above 70% (implied probability). If Brazil to beat a heavy underdog is priced at 85%, that match is blocked. Jupiter filters out tickets made of five obvious favorites. POOL BTC tip: mix 45-65% spots where you see value, not only top nations.
What is the deadline to submit picks?
Cutoff is June 12, 2026. After that you cannot submit or edit tickets. World Cup 2026 kicks off June 11; open the challenge page 1-2 days before the deadline.
$12,000 bonus: knockout bracket prediction
A separate community challenge: predict the knockout bracket for free. Prize pool $12,000; format and rules live on Jupiter Prediction. Not the same as the 5-match group-stage contest.
How to enter step by step?
Connect a Solana wallet, use the POOL BTC link, and pick your mode.
| Step | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Solana wallet | Phantom or Solflare, small SOL for gas (~$0.01) |
| 2 | Open challenge | Jupiter World Cup Challenge |
| 3 | Pick 5 matches | from 72 group stage games (deadline June 12) |
| 4 | Check odds | outcome must be 70% implied probability or lower |
| 5 | Freeroll or Paid | free ticket or $10 for extra paid pool entry |
How are winners paid?
Simple math: your share = pool size / number of perfect tickets in that mode. Freeroll and paid are counted separately. Payout goes to your Solana wallet after the five matches finish. Solana gas is negligible on a $10 paid entry.
Should a POOL BTC miner join?
Freeroll - yes if you already have a SOL wallet: $0 risk, upside of hundreds on a rare 5/5 ticket. Paid $10 - only if you follow the group stage anyway; expected value is negative for most (many entrants). Pool income is steadier: 110 TH/s yields ~0.00011 BTC/day (POOL BTC calculator). Do not spend mining profit on dozens of paid tickets.
