Teukoo private tournaments: challenge your friends with an invitation code
Create your own tournament, pick the matches, the stake and the number of places, then invite your friends with a code: everything about Teukoo private tournaments, free or paid.
Fantasy is even better with friends. With private tournaments, you create your own tournament on the matches of your choice, and only people with your invitation code can enter. Perfect for an office league, a head-to-head with your brother or a challenge in your community.
Create a private tournament in 3 steps
- Choose the matches: select one of the open slates, a set of matches from the same league.
- Set up your tournament:
- its name (for example "The Sunday duel");
- the format, free or paid;
- the stake per team if it's paid;
- the number of places.
- Create it: Teukoo generates an 8-character invitation code and a link to share.
Your tournament doesn't appear anywhere in the public lists: only your guests can find it.
Invite your friends
Share the code or the link by message, in a group chat or on social media. Your friends go to "I have a code", enter it and build their team as in any tournament: 11 players in football, a 100-point budget, a captain and a vice-captain.
Everyone plays with their own team; the leaderboard is based on the real points scored by the players.
Free or paid?
Free, between friends
No prize pool, no commission, no identity check. Ideal for playing for honour and bragging rights.
Paid
Each participant pays the stake you set (from $0 to $50 per team), and the prize pool goes to the top finishers, after the platform's commission. To play a paid private tournament, you need to:
- be 18 or over;
- have verified your identity.
As with any tournament: if the minimum number of participants isn't reached when entries close, the tournament is cancelled and everyone is refunded.
Limits to know
- a maximum of 5 open private tournaments at a time;
- a maximum of 10 creations per 24 hours;
- entries close, as always, 5 minutes before the first kick-off.
Teukoo Captain, for community builders
Do you run a large community? Teukoo Captain is a programme reserved for players appointed by Teukoo. Captains receive a share of the commission taken on the private tournaments they create. That share grows with the commission generated, from the Bronze (10%) badge to the Diamond (50%) badge, and each share becomes withdrawable 14 days after the tournament.
