The short version: Unleash World Cup ’26 is a free game of skill, just for fun — not gambling, and not affiliated with FIFA. Play fair, use one account, and know that it's provided as-is with no warranties.

1. A free game, just for fun

Unleash World Cup ’26 is a free football-prediction game played for fun. You predict the outcome and scoreline of real matches, fire a few “Unleash” point-doublers, back a team to win the tournament, and climb a leaderboard against friends or the world. Your standing comes from the accuracy of your predictions — it's a game of skill.

It's completely free. There are no payments, subscriptions, fees, or prizes from us. It is not betting, wagering, or gambling — we don't take stakes, set odds, or pay out winnings. If players choose to run a private pot among themselves, that's entirely their own arrangement and nothing to do with us.

2. Who can play, and playing fair

The game is intended for people aged 13 and over. Please keep it friendly and fair:

Use one account per person, and don't impersonate anyone or pick an offensive or misleading name or avatar.
Don't cheat — no multiple accounts, bots, scripts, or exploiting bugs to change a pick after it locks or to alter scores or standings.
Predictions lock 1 hour before kickoff and are scored automatically from official results. We may void picks, correct scores, or remove players if needed to keep a league fair.

3. Not affiliated with FIFA

Unleash World Cup ’26 is an independent fan game. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or associated with FIFA, any football confederation or federation, any tournament organiser, broadcaster, or national team. “World Cup”, “FIFA”, team names, and national flags are referenced for identification only and remain the property of their respective owners.

4. Provided “as is” — no warranties, no liability

The game is provided “as is” and “as available”, for free, without warranties of any kind. We don't promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that fixtures, results, scoring, or lock times will always be accurate or on time — match data comes from third parties and can be wrong, delayed, or unavailable, and matches can be postponed or changed.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the creators of Unleash World Cup ’26 are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the game, including any private pot or wager arranged between players. You use it at your own discretion, for entertainment. Nothing here limits any right that can't be excluded under the law that applies to you.

5. AI predictions

Some match screens show an AI prediction — a win/draw/loss estimate and a short write-up generated by a third-party AI model (Google's Gemini) from publicly known information about the teams. Like all generative AI, it can be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, and may occasionally state things that aren't true.

AI predictions are for entertainment only — they are not advice of any kind and must not be relied on for betting or any decision. They do not affect scoring or the leaderboard, which are computed solely from official match results.

6. AI profile pictures

You can reimagine your profile picture with AI — an image that casts you as a soccer player, head coach, or fan in your team's colours, created by a third-party AI image model (Google's Gemini) that we do not operate or control, optionally from a photo you upload and guided by a prompt you can edit. Generations are limited to a few per account.

Only upload a photo of yourself that you have the right to use. Don't upload images of other people, public figures, or anything you don't own or that is unlawful.
Your uploaded photo is sent to the AI model once to create the image and is not stored by us afterwards. The generated image is saved so you can display and share it.
We instruct the model to keep the kit in your chosen nation's colours, to avoid FIFA and World Cup trademarks, emblems and the World Cup trophy, and to add a small “AI-generated · unleashworldcup.com” caption. We do not control the model's output: it may add, omit, or alter logos, brands, marks, likenesses, or other elements regardless of our instructions. Any such output is produced by the third-party model, not by us.
You are responsible for the prompts you write and the photos you upload. You must not attempt to generate, save, or share any nudity, sexual, violent, hateful, harassing, defamatory, deceptive, or otherwise explicit, offensive, or unlawful content. This is a serious breach of these terms: we may remove the content and your account and reserve the right to pursue legal action against you for any resulting harm — and we are not liable for content you generate or share.

AI images are provided “as is” and are generated by a third-party model we do not operate or control. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for the generated images — including any trademarks, logos, brands, likenesses, or other elements the model may produce — nor for how you or anyone else uses or shares them. You are solely responsible for the photos you upload, the prompts you write, and your use of any generated image.

7. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect to run the game and how it's used. By design, your prediction for a match becomes visible to others in your league after that match locks, and your handle, avatar, supported nation, and points appear on the leaderboard.

8. Changes & contact

We may update or discontinue the game, or tweak these terms, at any time. Questions? Email hojae.hotherside@gmail.com.
