pickplay.bet is a free way to bet with friends on rugby without real money. Your group forms a private circle, everyone picks the winner of every NRL, State of Origin or Six Nations match before kick-off, and virtual points land automatically at the full-time whistle. Mark your Banker for double points, or stake points against one mate on the grand final in a head-to-head Battle.

How a pick works
Every rugby match is a straight winner pick: home side or away side. No handicaps, no margin bands. One tap per match, hidden from the circle until kick-off. Scoring is weighted by the odds of your pick, so calling the Roosters over the Panthers at 3.35 pays far more than backing the favourite. A draw is rare in both codes and counts as an outcome nobody picked: every pick scores zero and Battles push.

FAQ
Create a private circle on pickplay.bet, invite your mates with one link, and everyone picks the winner of every NRL match before kick-off. Correct picks earn virtual points weighted by the odds, a correct Banker earns double, and head-to-head Battles let you stake points against one friend on one match. Scoring is automatic at the full-time whistle. No real money is involved.
Rugby league: the NRL season, finals and grand final, plus State of Origin. Rugby union: the Six Nations. Both codes sit on the same Rugby tab and score the same way, so one circle can follow either or both.
A draw is treated as an outcome nobody picked. Every pick on that match scores zero and any Battle on it is a push, so both players get their stakes back. Draws are rare in the NRL, roughly one in a hundred matches.
