How to Play Career Mode (Free-to-Play)

Last Updated Sep 1, 2025

Career Mode is our F2P, points-based (PTS) competition. Enter a 10-player Arena, make real-match predictions, use Prediction Cards to boost your score, climb the leaderboard, and unlock rewards (including promo real dollars!) that power your progression. No cash prizes in Career Mode.

TL;DR — Play, Score, Progress

Enter your Arena against 10 players matched to your Trophy level.

Make your sport predictions on real games with your daily tokens (tokens expire and refill every day).
Play Prediction Cards that add points when their conditions hit.
Finish the Arena to earn Trophies, Gold Coins (GC), Cards, and Clan Points.
Advance on Trophy Road to unlock new Arenas, reward bags, GC, and promo USD.

Step-by-Step

Enter an Arena
There are 7 Arenas (more coming soon!) gated by Trophy milestones; move up as you collect Trophies.
Make Your Picks
Predict outcomes from live sports. Correct predictions add to your Arena score; your rank determines your take of rewards.
Boost with Prediction Cards
Cards have clear conditions (e.g., “Home team scores the first TD”). When they occur, you gain extra points. Cards come in Common → Epic rarities and level up to 15 by collecting copies and spending GC.
Finish & Collect
Rank at the end of the day in the Arena and claim Trophies, GC, Card copies, and Clan Points—all used to progress.
Progression Paths
Advance along Trophy Road and Account XP tracks to unlock more Bags, Coins, and content.

Prediction Cards

What they are
Cards are collectible, upgradeable boosts for Career Mode. Each card lists a simple sports condition; when that condition happens in a real match, the card adds points to your Arena total.

Rarities
Cards come in four rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic. Rarity just indicates how frequently you’ll see the card and how it fits into progression; it doesn’t turn cards into money or change their real-world value.

Levels & Upgrading

Every card can be leveled 1 → 15.
To upgrade, collect duplicate copies of the same card; when you hit the threshold, spend Gold Coins (GC) to raise its level. Higher levels mean more points when the card’s condition hits (for F2P scoring only).
GC are virtual and non-redeemable; you earn them from Bags/Missions/Trophy Road and other engagement rewards, or you can buy GC in the Shop.

How to get Cards

Bags/Chests (Arena ranks, Trophy Road, Level-up, Daily Missions) include Card copies and GC.
Daily/Weekly Missions can also grant Cards.

Where Cards matter

Cards only affect Career Mode scoring. They have no cash value, aren’t withdrawable, and are separate from your USD wallet.

Clans & XP

Upgrading cards grants Account XP.
Donating card copies to clanmates also grants XP

Card Rarities — What Each Tier Unlocks

Cards all do the same core thing—when their condition happens in a real match, you earn points in Career Mode. Rarity controls how many times you can play the card per Arena and how broadly you can target teams.
