How Does Sky Sports Super Six Work?

Lots of the top UK bookmakers offer free-to-play prediction games, so how does the Sky Sports Super Six option - which is operated by Sky Bet - compare to its rivals in a crowded market? With a £250,000 guaranteed jackpot up for grabs, Super 6 has one of the top prizes out there but naturally, that means it is also difficult to win.

Sky Sports Super Six runs on the weekends, as well as for some mid-week fixtures, and usually includes Premier League as well as Championship games. The users who partake are asked to correctly predict the scoreline of - you guessed it - six selected games. Those of you who have placed bets on the Premier League before will know how difficult this is, let alone for Championship games.

So why has the game become so popular? Simply because it is free to play, and users do not have to stake any money on their predictions to have a chance at winning the huge jackpot. You could describe it as a no risk, high reward situation and lately, it has also become a way for mates to compare their football knowledge skills.

Sky Sports Super Six Prizes - What Can You Win?

In addition to the £250,000 jackpot, which can roll over to up to £1 million if no one wins, there are some other prizes up for grabs and this is what makes Super Six such a great game. We have compiled all of the main prizes below:

  • £250,000+ jackpot: Awarded to the player(s) who gets all six predictions correct
  • Top Scorer Prize: £5,000 to the player who had the most points (if the jackpot was not paid out)
  • Leaderboard Champion: £10,000 to the champion of the Super 6 leaderboard for the season
  • Monthly Leaderboard Champion: £1,000 to the Super 6 leaderboard champion for a given month
  • 1v1 with Jamie Carragher: Players who beat the Liverpool legend are entered into a prize draw with £100 cash up for grabs

So, how do you collect points? In the game, players score five points for a correct score and two points if they get the right result, but the wrong score. So if a user guesses that Chelsea vs. Arsenal will end 1-1 and it finishes 2-2 instead, they get two points, but if the result is 1-1 then they earn the full five points.

It has become very common for players to create leagues of their own, competing against friends and/or family, and some even add their own little jackpot to the action. This is another reason why the game has become so popular in recent years, not to mention that football betting in the UK is such a routine thing.

Sky Sports Super Six FAQs

Users just enter their guesses for six selected matches before the deadline, which is usually set at 3 pm on a Saturday afternoon.

Sky Sports Super Six has a few different prizes but the main one is £250,000 for six correct scores in a week, but this is shared if there are multiple winners and can roll over to a total of £1 million in the event of there being no winners for a couple of weeks. The user with the most points in a month also gets £1,000, so it is well worth playing.
