Club World Cup 2026 Tipping Game: How to Keep Your Members Engaged
Summer is dead time for many football clubs: the league's on a break, the clubhouse half empty. A World Cup is the chance to flip that — a club tipping game keeps the squad, the parents, the veterans and the regulars together for six weeks, even with no game of your own. Here's how to set it up, keep it legally clean, and turn your club into its own World Cup league.
Stand: 2026-06-06 · World Cup 2026: 11 June – 19 July.
In short: create a club round, share the link through your WhatsApp groups and the clubhouse, and award a physical prize at the end. With your own tag (e.g. "SV Musterdorf"), your whole club tips in one ranking — across every round.
- Setup: create the round → link into the squad and fan chats → done.
- Club as a tag: all members in one club leaderboard, not just one round.
- Clean: physical prizes + voluntary entry; no compulsory stake through the platform.
How to set it up
- Create the club round — in tiptilldone in 30 seconds, optionally "private."
- Invite through your channels — squad WhatsApp, parents' chat, a notice in the clubhouse, the club's Insta. Tipping is via the Telegram bot or browser, no app required.
- Set the club as a tag — so everyone lands in one club-wide ranking, whatever sub-round they tip in. More: tags explained.
Points scheme: "Kicktipp Classic" (3-2-1) by default, adjustable to taste.
Club funds, prizes and the legal bit
A quick caution here: a tipping game is a prize draw as long as entry is free and non-binding. A voluntary physical prize (a sponsor's voucher, a trophy, a round at the clubhouse) is fine. But the moment you charge a compulsory entry fee and the win depends mostly on chance, you edge toward gambling/lottery law — which is not something that should run through a tipping platform. Our advice: keep entry free and use physical prizes; a private cash pool is something members arrange voluntarily among themselves. tiptilldone is a prediction game, not a sports-betting operator — no stake ever touches the platform. (General info, not legal advice; if in doubt, clear it with the committee.)
The clubhouse as your public viewing
The best part: the tipping game pulls people to the matches — and the clubhouse is your public viewing. Hang the live leaderboard next to the screen, and a 10pm group game becomes a club night. If you're showing games publicly, our public-viewing guides for Vienna and Graz have ideas for handling the night kickoffs.

How does our club run a World Cup tipping game?
Create a club round in tiptilldone, share the invite link through your WhatsApp groups and the clubhouse, and set a club tag so everyone tips in one shared ranking. The app scores the 104 matches automatically.
Can a tipping game raise money for the club?
Careful: once you charge a compulsory entry fee and the win depends on chance, it touches gambling/lottery law — that doesn't belong on a tipping platform. It stays clean with free entry and physical prizes; a cash pool is something members arrange privately and voluntarily. If in doubt, check with the committee.
Is tiptilldone free for clubs?
Up to 20 players per round, yes. For bigger clubs or premium features (AI Picks, more players, more rounds) it's €19 per tournament.
Which scoring rules work for a club tipping game?
The classic is "Kicktipp Classic" (3 points exact score, 2 goal difference, 1 tendency). It's the default in tiptilldone and adjustable — bonus questions add to the club fun.
Can away fans and former members join too?
Yes. Anyone can join via the invite link, wherever they are. With the club tag, players, parents, veterans and emigrated former members all tip in one shared club leaderboard.
