🆓
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.

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.
