Competition rules

Every competition on The Cosmic Oracle is free to enter. No purchase is necessary to enter or win, and no money is ever staked between players. Buying an Oracle Club membership never improves your chance of winning — it only unlocks extra features such as bigger battles and leagues.

Friendly stakes between mates (for example "loser buys a drink") are optional, non-cash forfeits agreed between the players themselves. The Cosmic Oracle never holds, handles or pays out money for any game.

In a battle, every player picks a winner for each fixture before it starts. A correct pick scores 3 points; the player with the most points when the last fixture finishes is The Oracle and wins. Duels are head-to-head over one fixture. In Last Oracle Standing, each round you pick one winner; a wrong pick knocks you out, and the last player standing wins. Leagues total your battle points across a season.

If a battle finishes level, the host chooses how to settle it: share the win, play a tie-break round, a random Cosmic spin, or leave it a draw. Duels need both players to agree. Full details appear on the battle page when a tie happens.

Prizes are provided by the host — the venue, creator or friend who created the game — never by The Cosmic Oracle. Any prize, its value and how it is claimed are described on the game's own page before you join.

Winners claim prizes directly from the host, following the instructions on the game page. If a prize never arrives, use the "Did you receive your prize?" prompt or report it from the host's page — repeated problems remove a host's prize badge.

One account per person. Picks lock when a fixture starts and can't be changed afterwards. We may void games, remove content or ban accounts that break the terms of use, including anyone posting abusive or illegal content.
