The knockouts are on, and Crown Coins is adding free SC to the mix. Every day through the Final, you can enter an exact-score prediction for that day's match and earn a share of the prize pool based on accuracy. No purchase required.
Most people watch the World Cup and move on. Crown Coins players can put their reads on the match to work. The Crown Coins World Cup Promo has been running since June 11 and now sits in its most interesting phase: the knockout rounds, where every game is a single elimination and the scoreline matters.
If you follow the matches closely enough to have a view on how they end, there is a free SC mechanism attached to that knowledge right now. Here is exactly what is available and how to use it.
How to get Free SC Predicting World Cup Knockouts
Crown Sports, Crown Coins' dedicated sports section, is running two game modes side by side through the end of the tournament. Understanding which one is live right now and what each one asks you to do is the starting point.
Power Picks
This is the multi-match prediction form, where you pick outcomes across a batch of matches in a single entry. Power Picks ran across the group stage and the Round of 32. Those phases are closed. If you missed them, you cannot enter retroactively. Power Picks may return for the remaining knockout rounds, so check the Crown Sports section when a new phase opens.
Game of the Day
This is the active mechanic in the knockout rounds. One match is selected each day, and your job is to predict the exact final score. Each correct or close prediction earns a share of that day's prize pool based on accuracy. Every exact-score entry also earns raffle tickets for a grand prize drawn after the Final on July 19.
To enter the Game of the Day:
- Log in to Crown Coins and open the Crown Sports section from the lobby.
- Find the Game of the Day. The featured match and prediction form update each day.
- Enter your exact-score prediction for the match and confirm your entry.
- Track your accuracy. Correct and close predictions earn a share of the phase prize pool. Exact-score entries also collect raffle tickets toward the grand prize draw.

Which Phases are Still Open?
As of publication, the Crown Coins World Cup Prediction is in the knockout rounds. The group stage and Round of 32 prediction forms have closed. The Game of the Day runs daily from the Round of 16 through the Final.
The soccer tournament and Crown Sports promo close on July 20, 2026. That means you have a daily entry opportunity for each remaining match, from the Round of 16 all the way through the Final. Each day is a separate prediction on a new match.
Things to Know Before You Play
- The 6,000,000 SC is a tournament- wide pool, not a per-entry prize. Your share is calculated based on prediction accuracy relative to other entrants. No single entry is guaranteed a specific SC amount.
- Exact-score entries earn raffle tickets that go into a draw for a grand prize after the Final. The more correct exact-score predictions you submit across the tournament, the more tickets you hold.
- No purchase is required to enter Crown Sports predictions. Your existing Crown Coins account is all you need to participate.
- Eligible regions: the promo is available to players in the US and Canada. SC availability varies by state. Crown Coins does not serve some states, including CA, ID, NV, and NY, for SC play.
- Age requirement: 19 or older to participate, though this may vary by territory. Check Crown Coins' T&Cs for your specific state or province.
Other Ways to Get Free SC at Crown Coins
The Crown Coins free SC today options extend beyond the World Cup promo. New players receive 100,000 CC and 2 SC on sign-up with no purchase needed. Those 2 SC carry a 1x wagering requirement before they are eligible for redemption, and the minimum redemption threshold is 50 SC.
Beyond sign-up, these are the free routes that run alongside the World Cup promo:
- Daily login bonus: a 7-day progressive structure that resets weekly. Day 1 starts at 5,000 CC and Day 7 delivers 100,000 CC plus a free wheel spin. Log in daily to collect each tier.
- Promo codes: Crown Coins releases social media codes periodically that add GC or SC to your balance at no cost. Check the Crown Coins promo codes for currently active codes.
- Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE): Crown Coins offers a mail-in entry route for the sweepstakes that does not require any purchase.
