FAQ

It takes a bit from all of them, but it’s none of them exactly. Since no real money is invested, SxM is best described as a play-for-fun fantasy stock exchange for sports. And no, it has nothing to do with crypto and tokens.

No, the shares are virtual. They don’t represent any legal ownership and aren’t connected to the clubs. They are simply a way to play inside the platform.

Not yet. For now, we’re focused on the play-for-fun model. A real-money version may come in the future.

Yes. Each day, week, month—and at the end of the season—we award the top traders with different prizes. Prizes and criteria may evolve, and we’ll let you know if you’ve won.

Your Total Balance is the combined value of your portfolio and wallet. It increases or decreases as your teams’ shares go up or down based on their real-life performance. We calculate it all for you.

We recognize performance based on percentage growth in Total Portfolio Value.

For example, if you increase your portfolio from EUR 3,000 to EUR 3,600, that’s a 20% growth — which ranks higher than someone who grows from EUR 5,000 to EUR 5,500 (a 10% growth).

In case of a tie, the player with more transactions during the period wins.

Yes, but even if you don’t, your chances may improve the next day, week, or month. Winners are often those with the highest percentage growth—not just those with the biggest totals. So a lower starting balance can be an advantage.

You can still join any time.
In fact, starting later can sometimes work in your favor. Players with a lower starting balance can climb faster due to higher potential percentage gains.

To give you enough room to build an active and diverse portfolio. That’s it.

The amount may change in the future, as we sometimes try to optimise the flexibility and volatility.

You can own up to 50 shares in a single team. This keeps the game balanced and encourages portfolio diversity.

No. The money is virtual and can’t be withdrawn.

You can trade teams from the top 5 European football (soccer) leagues and top best UEFA competitions. The amount of the shares is not really relevant here (unlike the real stock exchange) as the value isn’t driven by player activity (speculative demand and supply) but by the team’s sport results, calculated through our algorithm.

Not for now, but we regularly introduce Special Editions like the UEFA EURO or the FIFA World Cup.

Yes. Since there’s no real money involved, there are no restrictions based on location.

You can trade anytime, except while a match is being played. Trading pauses at kickoff and resumes after the final whistle.

The game is designed around player-to-player interaction, but as it’s for fun, the platform processes all transactions to keep things smooth and to guarantee transactions.

You can buy or sell again at any time—as long as the match hasn’t started.

No fees. This is a play-for-fun game.

Yes. You can mix and match your portfolio across all available teams.

Yes, but we don’t recommend it. One of them will surely lose, which will negatively affect your balance.

Our algorithm tracks team performance in real matches. Wins, losses, draws, and match context (like home vs away) all play a role. You’ll always see the next match prediction in advance—no surprises.

Highly unlikely. The season ends before it can reach that point.

The game ends. Final rankings are confirmed, prizes are awarded, and everything resets for the next season.

No — once the season starts, your nickname is locked in.
Be sure to update your profile with your preferred nickname, home of residence, and favorite team before trading begins.
