BetMGM Golden Goals

BetMGM Golden Goals is a free-to-play football predictor game in which new and existing customers can win up to £1 million for correctly predicting six scores.

And even if the main prize isn’t won, there is still a prize pool of £5,000 up for grabs for the player or players with the most correct scores.

As alluded to, the game doesn't require you to put your hand in your pocket.

All you need is a BetMGM account to play.

If you haven’t yet joined, you can get to know more about BetMGM, or, you can sign up right away and claim the bet £10 get £40 welcome offer BetMGM is handing out to all new UK customers.

BetMGM Golden Goals: How to play

1
Log in to your account or sign up to BetMGM

Only punters registered with BetMGM can play Golden Goals. Signing up takes less than two minutes and you get £40 in free bets as a reward.

2
Navigate to Golden Goals & opt-in

You can do this one of two ways:

Click the Golden Goals tab at the top of the sportsbook. Or, tap on the Golden Goals promotion banner just below the sportsbook navigation.

Once on the page, opt-in to play the game (you only need to do this once).

3
Enter your 6 predictions for the week’s games

Click the arrows to adjust the scorelines in each of the six games BetMGM has selected.

Make your picks before the deadline specified.

4
Kick back, relax and follow the scores

Once you’ve submitted a score for each game there’s nothing else left to do except sit back and watch the action.

If you correct the scoreline of all six games, up to £2 million could be yours! (The jackpot is split if more than one player predicts all six scores).

But even if you’re unsuccessful this time around, all is not lost! A share of £2,00 is still up for grabs if you have recorded the most correct scores for that game week.

BetMGM Golden Goals: How it compares with other free football games

By now, you know a fair bit about BetMGM’s free football predictor game.

But how does it compare with similar football predictor games offered by the UK’s best football betting sites?

Here is a handy table to show you where Golden Goals ranks:

GamePrediction typeJackpot
BetMGM Golden GoalsCorrect Score (6 games)£1,000,000
Bet365 6 Score ChallengeCorrect Score (6 games)£1,000,000
Sky Bet Super 6Correct Score (6 games)£250,000
Ladbrokes 1-2-FreeCorrect Score (3 games)£100
Betway 4 To ScoreFirst Goalscorer (4 games)£50,000
💰 Jackpot

The £1 million jackpot for winning BetMGM’s Golden Goals game is the most UK punters can win on any free play to predictor game, alongside Bet365's 6 Scores Challenge.

Super 6, which also involves 6 correct scores to win, has a £250,000 jackpot while players of Betway’s 4 to Score can scoop £50,000 for correctly predicting the first goalscorer in four selected games.

  • BetMGM Golden Goals: £1 million
  • Bet365 6 Scores: £1 million
  • Sky Bet Super 6: £250,000
  • Betway 4 to Score: £50,000
  • Ladbrokes 1-2-Free: £100
💷 Other prizes

It's not impossible to predict six correct scores. But, as we all know, football - and the Premier League in particular - is unpredictable!

That's why the 'consolation' prize is important. BetMGM's £2000 prize pool is decent. But it doesn't better what the highest-scoring player or players can earn playing Bet365's 6 Scores Challenge.

Sky Bet’s Super 6 £5,000 prize for the round's top scorer is also higher than what you get playing Golden Goals.

  • Bet365 6 Scores: £20,000 (for 5 correct scores)
  • BetMGM Golden Goals: £5,000
  • Sky Bet Super 6: £5,000
  • Ladbrokes 1-2-Free: £5 free bet
  • Betway 4 to Score: N/A
⚽ Prediction type

BetMGM has jumped on the general enthusiasm we Brits have for predicting footie scores.

  • BetMGM Golden Goals: Predict 6 correct scores (EPL & CL games)
  • Bet365 6 Scores Challenge: Predict 6 correct scores (Premier League games)
  • Sky Bet Super 6: Predict 6 correct scores (all types of games)
  • Ladbrokes 1-2-Free: Predict 3 correct scores (Premier League games)
  • Betway 4 to Score: Predict 4 first goalscorers (Premier League games)

BetMGM Golden Goals - What’s the verdict?

BetMGM Golden Goals is a terrific addition to the ever-growing collection of free football games. It's straightforward, based on the Premier League and offers a huge jackpot.

It must be said that the chances of correctly predicting the scores of six Premier League games are slim - I’ve played Ladbrokes 1-2-Free enough times (and lost) and that’s only predicting three scores!

However, there aren’t many free predictor games that give you the chance of becoming a millionaire. And there’s still a substantial cash prize (up to £2000) for the top scorer so it's not completely unrealistic that you walk away with money in your pocket!
