Prediction Rules

Read and understand the rules before participating in esports predictions on TheBadGamer.

Last updated: April 2026

⚠️ TheBadGamer predictions use virtual GG Coins only. This is not real-money gambling. GG Coins have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for real currency.

1. Eligibility

  • You must have a TheBadGamer account to make predictions.
  • You must have sufficient GG Coins to place a wager.
  • Predictions can only be placed on matches with status "upcoming" — once a match goes live, predictions are locked.
  • Only one prediction per match per user is allowed.

2. Wagering Limits

  • Minimum wager: 10 GG Coins per prediction.
  • Maximum wager: 500 GG Coins per prediction.
  • Your available GG Coin balance is deducted immediately upon placing a prediction.
  • You cannot wager more than your current GG Coin balance.

3. Payouts

  • Correct prediction: You receive 1.8× your wagered coins (e.g., wager 100 → receive 180 back).
  • Wrong prediction: You lose your wagered coins.
  • Participation bonus: All participants receive +10 XP for wrong predictions and +50 XP for correct predictions.
  • Payouts are processed automatically when match results are confirmed in our system (within 15–60 minutes of match completion).

4. Match Resolution

  • Match results are sourced from PandaScore and resolved automatically.
  • If a match is cancelled or postponed indefinitely, all predictions are voided and coins are returned.
  • If a match is rescheduled, predictions remain active for the rescheduled date.
  • In case of data errors, our team will review and manually resolve within 48 hours.

5. Prohibited Activity

  • Exploiting bugs or glitches in the prediction system is prohibited and will result in account suspension.
  • Attempting to manipulate prediction counts or statistics is prohibited.
  • Creating multiple accounts to bypass limits is prohibited.
  • Any form of real-money exchange involving GG Coins is strictly prohibited.

6. GG Coins Disclaimer

  • GG Coins are virtual in-platform currency with no real-world monetary value.
  • GG Coins cannot be exchanged, sold, or transferred for real money under any circumstances.
  • TheBadGamer is not a gambling platform. Predictions are for entertainment and skill-testing only.
  • TheBadGamer reserves the right to modify the payout ratio (currently 1.8×) with 7 days notice.

  • Significant changes will be announced in-platform with at least 3 days notice.
