List of options to earn coins was originally published in Prediction Guru on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Now, boost your game with Boosters! This most awaited feature is now here. You can now strategise your game using one of the boosters to earn more coins. As of now we have introduced three boosters.

2x Double Up

Use this booster to double your win coins. Be aware that win coins isthe difference between staked coins and total win coins.
For example, you staked 5000, and you won 6500 coins then the difference is 1500 (6500–5000) coins. With double booster, you will get another 1500 coins so your total win coins would be 8000 (6500 + 1500) coins.
Note: You can double your win coins maximum to 2000 coins. Even if you win 3000, you will still get 2000 coins.

Insure Coins

With this booster, you can have 50% insurance on your staked coins. For example, you staked 3000 and you lost the game, then this booster will return your 1500 coins. So your total loss would be 1500 (3000–1500) coins only.
Note: You can insure coins maximum to 2000 coins e.g. you staked 5000, then you will get 2000 coins, and the total loss would be 3000 (5000–2000) coins.

Extra Time

This one helps you predict your winning team after the match starts. You will get extra 15 minutes to make changes in your match prediction. If you are watching a live game, then this booster will help you a lot.

How to play Exchange was originally published in Prediction Guru on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

After releasing the group features, we have seen an increase in collaboration between group members and better consciousness in stakes. Along with group, we had introduced group items which can be collected for every correct prediction and when users have10+ same things, these can be used to withdraw coins. Till now users have collected items worth 1.2M+ coins in just 3.5 months!

However there is one problem that our users are facing: that they are unable to collect ten items of the same group item. Thus our team has decided that before moving on to other exciting features, we should solve this problem first and give more control over group items to our users.

Today, we are introducing Exchange: a marketplace for your group items. Here you can trade your items with other Prediction Guru members. You can purchase an item to complete your collection or sell your item to earn instant coins. If you are looking to trade for a specific thing, make a request and let others help you with it or you can help fulfill the request of others.

Users can sell their item from the range of 60% to 200%. For example, if you want to sell “Shoes” item (actual cost is ten coins), you can set its value from minimum six coins to maximum 20 coins. And for premium users, the range is from 50% to 300%. At any given time our users can put only one item on sale and put one item on request. Premium users, however, can put five items on sale and request five items.

We are very excited to see how our users will use this interesting feature “Exchange”. We are sure that for the users who are putting in lots of efforts in collecting items, Exchange will prove to be a blessing!

Read news and claim bonus coins. was originally published in Prediction Guru on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

So to reinstate our app, we have decided to stop giving redeem to our users. Removing redeem option was a hard decision for our team, but we have to, as we do not have any other choice. On the brighter side, we have observed the recent trend of redemptions and found that many of users have stopped redeeming even they have enough coins to exchange with us. We talked to few of them to understand the reason and found that many of them are here to enjoy the unique concept of the game, some of them are here for the love of sports, and few of them are just playing the game without any need to redeem it.

The vision of this app is to provide one place for all sports activities such as predictions, information, social, etc. Redemption was never part of our original concept; it was added later based on high demands from users. The dark side of it, is very few of our expert users (with reasonable accuracy) have started trying their luck in gambling market with real money. And that is dangerous, our base intention for this app is to move out from gambling (in which we are doing a great job) not move into gambling. Stay away from it and play Prediction Guru.

What next? We had the roadmap for next one year but looking at the current need of our users we are working on special features which you will surely love it and we will be reducing premium plan by 50% in couple of days. At last, I am appealing to all of you to support us on this change and keep sharing your feedbacks/ideas for future releases at contact@prediction.guru, we love to read your suggestions, and that gives us motivation, helps us in our next developments and much more.
