Why It Works

The redraw mechanic changes everything.

Traditional sweepstakes draw once. You get a weak team, you're done by matchday two. sweep.football is built on a simple rule that keeps everyone engaged.

The Golden Rule

If all your teams get knocked out in a round, you're eliminated. If even one of your teams survives, you stay in β€” and you get completely new teams for the next round.

This means the field narrows naturally through the tournament. After the Group Stage, 48 teams become 32. Some players lose all their teams and are out. Survivors get redrawn. By the Semi-Finals, only a handful remain. In the Final, two people go head-to-head.

How It Works

Four steps. Two minutes.

Step 01

Create your sweepstake

Pay a one-off Β£20 organiser fee and name your sweepstake. You get a unique link to share. Takes about two minutes.

Step 02

Invite your group

Share the link with 3 to 48 friends, family, or colleagues. Everyone joins by entering their name, email, and phone number. No accounts needed.

Step 03

Run the draw

We distribute all 48 World Cup teams among your players using a cryptographically fair shuffle. Everyone gets their teams by SMS and email.

Step 04

Watch the tournament unfold

After every round, anyone whose teams are all knocked out is eliminated. Survivors are redrawn with fresh teams. The field narrows naturally until the Final.
