Frequently Asked Questions

MMA is scored using the 10-Point Must System — the fighter who wins a round gets 10 points and their opponent gets 9 or fewer. Open any live fight on Verdict, score each round as it ends, and your scores are added to the Global Scorecard. See our full How to Score guide for the criteria judges weigh.

The Global Scorecard is the average of all scores submitted by the Verdict community for a fight, shown round-by-round in real time. It has become the recognized fan scoreboard of MMA, cited by athletes and broadcasters alike.

Make a pick on every fight before the event starts. You earn points and climb the belt ranks for correct predictions — start as a white belt and work your way up. It is completely free to play.

You earn XP for participating — making picks, scoring rounds, and engaging with the community. As your XP grows you are promoted through the belt ranks, from white belt all the way up.

Tournaments are paid pick’em contests for an event. Enter before the deadline, make your picks, and compete against other entrants for the prize pool. You must be of legal age in your region to participate.

Verdict Tournaments are skill-based pick’em contests offered only where permitted. To enter a paid Tournament you must be of legal age in your region and located somewhere we operate — your eligibility is checked from the region and date of birth on your account. The free predictions game is available to everyone. See which regions Tournaments are available in and our SafePlay page for more.

Paid Tournaments are available in the regions where we are licensed to operate skill-based contests. If your region isn’t currently supported you can still play the free predictions game and everything else on Verdict. Eligibility is determined by the region on your account at the time you try to enter.

Paid Tournaments are skill-based contests offered only where permitted, so there are two reasons you might not be able to enter one: you’re not of legal age in your region, or your region isn’t somewhere we currently operate. Eligibility is checked from the region and date of birth on your account. Either way, the free predictions game and everything else on Verdict stays open to you. See which regions Tournaments are available in, or reach out through the Help page if you think this is a mistake.

Most Tournaments cover the full card, but a Co-Main or Main-only Tournament covers just a subset of the event — the main-card fights, or the main and co-main only — so you can enter without picking every prelim. They behave exactly like a full-card Tournament otherwise. Joining these may require the latest version of the app.

You can configure deposit, entry-fee, entry, and timeout limits from your account’s Responsible Gaming tools. See our SafePlay page for details on how each limit works.

Request a withdrawal from your account. Withdrawals are subject to identity verification and our terms — for help with a specific withdrawal, contact us through the Help page.

A Tournament is discontinued when it doesn’t attract enough entrants before the event starts, so it can’t run. When that happens the Tournament is cancelled and any entry fees are returned — nothing is deducted for a discontinued entry. Look for guaranteed Tournaments, or invite friends to help fill the ones you join.
