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: 200 points for the exact score, down to 80 points for picking just the right winner, with intermediate values for partially correct predictions like the correct winner and goal difference. You can also pick a championship winner for a 500-point bonus. The leaderboard updates automatically as results come in.
Bolão.io covers major competitions such as the World Cup, Brasileirão Série A and B, Copa do Brasil, Copa America, Libertadores, UEFA Champions League, Premier League, La Liga and Ligue 1, with fixtures and results updated automatically.
