04 / Why WorldCupDraw.

Built for the
group chat, free
forever.

A sweepstake should feel like a ritual - not a spreadsheet. Draw handles the admin so you can argue about football.

Pot-balanced

Every player gets teams from all 4 FIFA pots. No one draws all the favourites. No one gets stuck with all the minnows.

The office sweepstake, but it doesn't live in a damp spreadsheet that Karen from accounts forgot to update by the round of sixteen.
Field Notes
05 / Questions

Things you'll
want to know.

How does the pot-balanced draw work?

All 48 World Cup 2026 teams are split into 4 pots by FIFA ranking strength - Pot 1 has the favourites (Argentina, Brazil, France…) and Pot 4 the underdogs. The algorithm guarantees every participant receives exactly one team from each pot, so no one has an unfair advantage.

How many people can enter?

Up to 48 people - one team each. With fewer participants, everyone gets multiple teams, always with a balanced spread across all four pots. With 12 people, each person gets 4 teams (one per pot).

Is the draw genuinely fair?

Yes. The pot-balanced algorithm is deterministic and verifiable. The "Fair-Draw Verified" badge confirms every participant received the same pot distribution before results are shown.

How do I share the results?

After the draw, hit the Share button to copy a unique link. The entire allocation is encoded in the URL - anyone with the link can view the full results from any device, no account or app required.

Will my data be saved if I close the tab?

Yes. Your participant list is automatically saved in your browser's local storage. Once the draw is complete, results are permanently encoded in the shareable URL so they're never lost.

Is Draw. free to use?

Completely free. No sign-up, no account, no payment - ever. Add names, draw, share.

When does FIFA World Cup 2026 start?

The FIFA World Cup 2026 kicks off on 11 June 2026, hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It is the first World Cup to feature 48 nations.
