A bolão is a Brazilian-style prediction pool where friends bet on the results of soccer matches — no bookmakers and no money required. It is hugely popular in Brazil during the World Cup and major championships. On Bolão.io, you predict the score of each match and earn points based on how close you get.
Create a free account at bolao.io, click "Create bolão", give it a name and pick a competition. You get an invite link to share with friends, and the whole process takes less than a minute.
Yes, 100% free. There are no subscriptions, no hidden costs and no real-money betting. The app never handles money — it only tracks predictions and points. Many groups agree on a prize among themselves, but that happens outside the app.
Share your bolão's invite link. Friends open it, create a free account (or sign in) and are automatically added to your bolão, ready to make their predictions.
You earn points for each match prediction. The highest matching rule applies:
Pick the championship winner for a one-time +500 pt bonus added to your leaderboard total.
The leaderboard updates automatically as results come in.
