Bet365 6 Scores Challenge - How It Works, Prizes and Our Predictions
Bet365 6 Scores Challenge - Free to Play
How It Works, Full Prize Breakdown, and Our Predictions
One of my favourite things about Bet365 is that they don't just take your money - they actually give you chances to win it for free. The 6 Scores Challenge is exactly that. No deposit required, no strings attached, just predict six correct scores and you could walk away with $100,000. I'm not exaggerating. That's the top prize, and it's available every single round.
On top of the 6 Scores Challenge, Bet365 is also running their Tournament Challenge for the UEFA Champions League, which is an entirely separate free-to-play contest with up to $425,000 in total prizes across the competition. Both are worth your time, and I'm going to walk you through how each one works, what you can win, and give you my predictions for the upcoming matches.
Let's get into it.
What is the 6 Scores Challenge?
The concept is dead simple. Bet365 gives you six football matches. You predict the exact final score of each one. The more you get right, the bigger the prize. You don't have to get all six correct to win something - even getting two right earns you free spins.
Here's the important part: it costs absolutely nothing to play. Zero. You just need a Bet365 account, which is also free to create. There's no catch, no hidden fee, no deposit requirement to enter the challenge. Log in, make your picks, and see what happens.
The matches span multiple leagues and competitions, so you're not just looking at one league. This weekend's 6 Scores Challenge includes Premier League, Bundesliga, and Serie A fixtures, which keeps things interesting and tests your knowledge across European football.
6 Scores Challenge - Prize Breakdown
Here's what you're playing for every round:
| Correct Scores | Prize |
| 6 correct | $100,000 (Cash)* |
| 5 correct | $4,000 (Cash)* |
| 4 correct | $2,000 (Cash)* |
| 3 correct | 15 Free Spins |
| 2 correct | 5 Free Spins |
*Cash prizes are shared between winners.
$100,000 for guessing six scores correctly. And it's free. That's a ridiculous opportunity that most people just ignore because they don't know about it.
How to Enter the 6 Scores Challenge
If you don't already have a Bet365 account, sign up here - it takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing. If you already have an account, just log in and navigate to the 6 Scores Challenge under the Soccer section in Free Games.
From there, you'll see the six fixtures for the current round. Use the arrows next to each score to set your predicted scoreline for each match. Once you're happy with your picks, submit them. That's it. You can edit your predictions up until the first match kicks off, so don't worry if you want to change your mind after doing some more research.
One entry per person, per round. No multiple entries, no gaming the system. Straightforward.
Our 6 Scores Challenge Predictions - This Weekend
Alright, here's where I put my neck on the line. Six matches, six exact score predictions. These are based on current form, home/away records, and the data we're seeing across these leagues right now.
| Match | Kickoff | Our Prediction | Reasoning |
| Aston Villa vs Leeds | Sat 07:00 | 2-1 | Villa beat Brighton 1-0 at home last time and are solid at Villa Park. Leeds drew 2-2 at Chelsea which shows they can compete, but Villa's home advantage should tell here. Tight win. |
| Leipzig vs Dortmund | Sat 09:30 | 1-2 | Dortmund are flying - 4-0 vs Mainz and 2-0 vs Atalanta in the Champions League. Leipzig stuttered with a 2-2 draw against Wolfsburg at home. BVB to edge it on the road. |
| Man City vs Newcastle | Sat 12:00 | 2-0 | City hammered Fulham 3-0 at home last outing and are a fortress at the Etihad. Newcastle won at Spurs 2-1 but will likely sit deeper here. City to dominate without conceding. |
| Nottm Forest vs Liverpool | Sun 06:00 | 0-2 | Forest blanked at home against Wolves 0-0, and they look like they're running out of steam. Liverpool ground out a 1-0 win at Sunderland. Clinical and professional away win. |
| Atalanta vs Napoli | Sun 06:00 | 1-1 | Atalanta lost 0-2 at Lazio and 0-2 at Dortmund in the UCL, so they've been struggling on the road but should be better at home. Napoli drew 2-2 with Roma. This screams draw. |
| Tottenham vs Arsenal | Sun 08:30 | 1-2 | The North London derby. Spurs lost 1-2 to Newcastle at home, and Arsenal have a 62% win probability. Arsenal drew 1-1 at Brentford but that was a blip. They'll be up for this one. Spurs to grab one but Arsenal to take the three points. |
That's what I'm going with. Six predictions, all based on current form and the numbers. Feel free to use these as a starting point for your own picks, or ignore them completely. That's the beauty of a free contest - there's no risk either way.
The Tournament Challenge - Champions League
Now let's talk about the other free-to-play contest that Bet365 has running right now. The Tournament Challenge is built around the UEFA Champions League, and it's a completely separate competition from the 6 Scores Challenge.
Here's the deal: Bet365 has partnered with the Champions League to create a prediction game that could pay out up to $425,000 across the entire tournament. There are prizes for individual Match Days (up to $35,000 per round) and a top prize of $75,000 for the overall leaderboard winner when the tournament concludes.
Unlike the 6 Scores Challenge where you predict exact scorelines, the Tournament Challenge asks you to predict match outcomes - home win, draw, or away win. You earn points for correct selections, and those points determine your position on the leaderboard. It's a marathon, not a sprint. You're competing against other players across the whole Champions League campaign.
How the Tournament Challenge Works
Log into your Bet365 account and navigate to Tournament Challenge under Soccer in the Free Games section. You'll see the upcoming Champions League fixtures grouped by Match Day. For each match, you select whether you think the home team wins (1), it's a draw (X), or the away team wins (2). You get 10 points per match wager.
Entries can be edited or reset before a match kicks off, but once a game goes live, your prediction for that match is locked in. Only one entry per person is allowed. New customers can enter until the first game of the current round goes live, and existing customers with a previous entry can continue entering through to the final.
Tournament Challenge - Matchday Prize Breakdown
Every Match Day has its own leaderboard with prizes for the top 100 finishers:

Our Champions League Predictions - Knockout Play-offs 1st Leg (Wed Feb 18)
The current round of the Tournament Challenge covers the Champions League Knockout Play-offs. Tuesday's matches have already been played - Galatasaray demolished Juventus 5-2, PSG won 3-2 at Monaco, Real Madrid edged Benfica 1-0, and Dortmund beat Atalanta 2-0. Wednesday's fixtures are still up for grabs, and here are my picks:
| Match | Kickoff | Our Pick | Reasoning |
| FK Qarabag vs Newcastle | 09:45 | 2 (Newcastle) | Newcastle are massive favourites at 70.4% win probability. Qarabag have battled to get this far but the quality gap is significant. Newcastle won 2-1 at Spurs last week and will be confident on the road. Comfortable away win. |
| Club Brugge vs Atletico Madrid | 12:00 | X (Draw) | Atletico are favourites but they lost to Bodo/Glimt 1-2 in the league phase, so they're not invincible in away European ties. Club Brugge will be well organized at home. Simeone's side will play for the second leg and settle for a draw. |
| Bodo/Glimt vs Inter Milan | 12:00 | 2 (Inter) | Inter beat Juventus 3-2 last week in Serie A and have serious quality across the squad. Bodo/Glimt pulled off a shock against Atletico but Inter are a different animal. Inter to take control of this tie with an away win. |
| Olympiacos vs Leverkusen | 12:00 | 1 (Olympiacos) | The tightest match of the day. Olympiacos are slight home favourites at 38.7% and they beat Ajax 2-1 away during the league phase. Leverkusen thrashed St. Pauli 4-0 domestically and were strong in the group stage, but Piraeus under the lights is a nightmare away trip. Home edge. |
If you haven't entered the Tournament Challenge yet, you can still get in for the Knockout Play-offs. Just remember that once a match kicks off, your prediction for that game is locked.
Key Terms and Conditions
Both contests are free to play, but there are some T&Cs worth knowing about.
For the 6 Scores Challenge, cash prizes (4+ correct scores) are shared between all winners for that tier. So if ten people all get six correct, they split the $100,000. Free Spins prizes (2-3 correct) are awarded to each qualifying player individually.
For the Tournament Challenge, the maximum combined prize value is capped at $425,000 across all Match Day leaderboards and the Overall leaderboard. Match Day leaderboard payouts are processed after the relevant Match Day is complete, and the Overall leaderboard is processed once the final Champions League game is played. If multiple entrants finish with the same number of points in a prize position, the prize money is shared equally.
Bonus Bets awarded through either contest are non-withdrawable. Returns from Bonus Bet wagers get added to your withdrawable balance, but the Bonus Bet stake itself is excluded from returns. Bonus Bets expire 7 days after being credited to your account.
Both contests are available at the discretion of Bet365 and entry is separate from standard bet placement - normal Bet365 offers do not apply to these free games.
Why I Like These Free-to-Play Contests
I'll be honest - the odds of nailing six exact scores are long. Really long. But that's not the point. The 6 Scores Challenge costs you nothing, it takes 30 seconds to enter, and you get to sweat six matches over the weekend with something on the line. Even getting three right earns you free spins. It adds another layer of entertainment to your football weekend, and every now and then somebody does hit the jackpot.
The Tournament Challenge is the one I actually think offers better value for skilled predictors. You don't need to guess exact scores - just match outcomes. And the prize pool goes deep enough (top 10,000 for the overall leaderboard) that consistent, smart predictions across the Champions League campaign can genuinely pay off. If you follow European football closely, this is your contest.
Both are free. Both are available right now. There's no reason not to play both.
