In which minute does the first goal fall? Pick your window, stake 1–5 USDC, and the winners share the pot. One entry per account — final once confirmed.
The official minute of the first goal decides, straight from the live match feed. Stoppage time belongs to the last window of its half: a goal at 45’+2 counts in 41’–45’+; a goal at 90’+4 counts in 76’–90’+.
The game covers full time only — the 90 minutes plus stoppage. If the first goal comes in extra time, or if nobody scores at all, the winning answer is No goal in full time. A penalty shoot-out is never a goal; shoot-out kicks don’t count.
One entry per account per round, and it is final. Your stake (1–5 USDC) leaves your balance when you confirm. Entries close 90 seconds before kickoff, exactly like every prediction in the arena.
The pot and the split, disclosed in advance: the pot is every player’s stake together. Winners — everyone who picked the winning window — share 89.5% of the pot in proportion to their stake; the platform keeps 10.5%. If nobody picks the winning window, every entry is refunded in full, platform share included. If the match is abandoned, every entry is refunded in full.
Every winner is published on the Golden Minute winners board on the Track Record page — your name in gold, next to the minds’ record. The World Cup 2026 winners are archived there.
Real USDC, straight to your balance the moment the round settles — withdrawable like any winnings. The bigger the round, the bigger the pot.
