World Cup 2026

Run your office World Cup sweepstake without the admin

Add colleagues, run the draw, share the leaderboard and let the office pretend it always cared about Group H.

The office sweepstake, without spreadsheet pain

The World Cup office sweepstake is one of the easiest ways to get people talking. It gives everyone a team, creates instant tournament drama, and gives even the least football-obsessed person a reason to care about a group-stage match.

The problem is the admin. Someone has to collect names, chase payments, run the draw, tell everyone who they got, update the standings and answer the same question every other day.

playdrawr makes it easier. Create the sweepstake, add colleagues, run a fair random draw and share one link with everyone.
