Rounds kick off Thursday night — never miss one.
Create / Join a Competition
Anyone can create or join a comp — completely free and very easy to set up.
Competitions open once the season fixture is released and loaded on Roughie Tips.
The first person to create a competition becomes the Comp Admin. As admin you can manage settings — members, prize money, and more — from the Admin panel in the menu.
My Tips
Points are based on bookmaker odds — we're not affiliated with any agency, we just use the odds to set point values.
Odds posted Sunday night, finalised and locked Wednesday night — no changes after that.
Change your tip as many times as you like right up until kick-off.
AUTO
Forget to tip? You get the away team automatically. Miss 3+ rounds in a row and you're inactive — capped at 1pt, no roughie bonus.
Tips are hidden until kick-off — once the round locks an icon appears and you can see what everyone tipped.
Note: You must join or create a competition to be able to tip. No solo tipping — Roughie Tips is all about competing with your mates!
Tip: If you're in multiple competitions for the same sport, you only tip once — your tips automatically pull across to all of them.
Leaderboard
Any prize money is set by your comp admin. Roughie Tips doesn't handle money — we're not a betting agency.
Achievement badges appear on the leaderboard each round:

WELCOME TO ROUGHIE TIPS
Pick Winners. Underdogs Score More. Beat Your Mates!
Roughie Tips is your place for NRL, NFL & AFL personal tipping competitions. Free to play, easy to use, and way more fun than standard tipping.
Best on Mobile
Tap the Share button in your browser and select "Add to Home Screen" — it works just like an app. (Not currently available in the App Store)
AFL, NFL & NRL rounds all kick off Thursday night. Never miss a round.
Create / Join a Competition
Anyone can create or join a competition — it's completely free and very easy to use.
Competitions become available once the fixture for the upcoming season has been released and loaded on Roughie Tips.
The first person to create a competition becomes the Comp Admin. As admin you can manage your competition settings — including member management, prize money info, and more — from the Admin panel in the menu.
My Tips
Points are based on bookmaker odds. We're not affiliated with any betting agency — we just use the odds to set point values.
Odds are entered Sunday night for the coming weekend. They're finalised Wednesday night and locked from that point — no fluctuations once the round is set.
Change your tip as many times as you like right up until kick-off. Once a game locks, that pick is set.
AUTO
Forget to tip? You automatically receive the away team. Roughie points still apply on missed tips — unless you've missed 3+ rounds in a row, at which point you're considered inactive and receive only 1pt per away team.
Once the round locks, an icon appears and you can see what everyone else tipped.
Note: You must join or create a competition to be able to tip. No solo tipping — Roughie Tips is all about competing with your mates!
Tip: If you're involved in multiple competitions for the same sport, you only tip once — your tips automatically pull across to all of your competitions for that sport.
Scoring System
The bigger the upset you tip, the more points you score. Underdogs at $2.30+ earn bonus Roughie Points.

Leaderboard

WELCOME TO
ROUGHIE TIPS
Footy tipping made fun — tip the winner, but the bigger the upset, the more points you earn. Backing an underdog pays off.
HOW POINTS WORK
Tip the winning team to score points. The points you earn depend on the odds — tip a favourite and earn the standard 1 pt, tip an outsider and earn between 2–6 pts.
Tips lock when the first bounce happens. If you forget to tip, the away team is auto-selected — so always get your tips in early.
Miss 3 rounds in a row without tipping and you are capped at 1 pt per correct tip until you start tipping again.
GETTING AROUND
My Tips— Enter your tips each round here including margin on the first match. Once locked, tap a match to see who everyone else tipped.
