Players transition into the updated gameplay

After an incredible journey of hitting over 3 million predictions, engaging thousands of players, and giving football predictions the gamification it always needed, it's time for an exciting shift in the Pooky experience.

Note: Updates have been made due to adjustments to game name (Now ScoreRush) as well as rarity system - July 2024.

Discover the roadmap for the coming months

The evolution of Pooky's gameplay

Transitioning to League Passes

In this new update, League Passes are set to replace Pookyballs. This change signifies an exciting shift in the game mechanics, where League Passes will offer players unlimited predictions within their chosen league, improving the overall gameplay experience.

To assist in a smooth & fair transition, current assets will be carefully valued taking not only primary marketplace value into account but also players’ progression. This asset valuation will then be redeemable by players once the marketplace updates allowing players to freely spend and buy desired assets. The marketplace update & asset valuation will take place in August 2024.

Ensuring a Fair Transition

Your gaming experience is our top priority, and we are dedicated to making this transition a positive, fair and rewarding journey for all players. How?

  • Offer a fair valuation of assets taking into account not only the primary marketplace value but also value progression of assets.
  • 20% Discount on all (current) Primary Marketplace place assets during transition period (April 2024 → August 2024).
  • Give enough time to players to prepare for the transition.

Assets Valuation Basics

To estimate the value of an asset we take into account 3 factors:

  • Primary Marketplace Value of Pookyball, Sticker and/or Energy
  • Level of Pookyball or Sticker (up to 1.5x the initial value)
Genesis Pookyballs will get an additional 10% valuation.

Account Snapshot in August 2024

Every player will have their collection valued in August 2024, at which point players will receive the total value of their assets in the Pro League launching in the new mobile app. That amount issued in USD will be freely available to spend in the new marketplace. The exact date of the snapshot is yet to be confirmed.

To make it transparent, we've built a simulator to help players make a precise projection, allowing them to plan their progression over the next months before the snapshot takes place.

How do we Value assets & progression?

At max level, a Pookyball or Sticker will see its primary marketplace value multiplied by 1.5x. This takes into account the PXP earned as well as the POK spent to reach a certain level.

Please find the valuation curve of Pookyballs & Stickers in our simulator.

Here's a breakdown of the asset valuations comparing initial cost to max level cost:

Given purchased energy does not have a levelling system, it will just be valued at primary marketplace value.

For ascended assets, we'll simply take the primary marketplace and progression value into account.

To offer some context, if a player ascended 2 Legendary Pookyballs of the same league into a Mythic, his initial cost was $3680 (2x $1600 + $480 ascension fee) but his ascended Mythic ball will be valued at $6400. That’s $2720 more than his actual cost.

Important: Unspent POK won’t carry-over. The only way to value POK is to spend it on your Pookyballs & Stickers, ahead of the asset valuation.
