Honest Comparison

Kicktipp is an established betting game with extensive features and supports numerous leagues all year round. Tippster is a modern PWA with an AI opponent and flexible game modes for Bundesliga, Premier League, and LaLiga. If you're looking for a fresh, mobile experience for the current season, Tippster is the right choice.

What Tippster does differently

Modern PWA instead of old website: Tippster is a Progressive Web App — fast, installable, offline-capable and with a native app feeling. No App Store download, no outdated web interface. Simply open in your browser or install on your homescreen.

AI Opponents as a Challenge: The Tippster AI participates every matchday in all three leagues and is automatically included in every prediction round. No other prediction game offers an algorithmic opponent you can compete against.

Gamification Mode: Joker tips, series bonuses, and achievements (Achievements & Badges) make every betting round more exciting. Collect stars for special achievements and compare your awards with the group.

Own Group Design — free: Each prediction game gets its own banner image and a motto — at no extra cost. With many providers, customization is hidden behind a paid plan; with Tippster, it's simply included.

Time zone-aware reminders: Kick-off reminders automatically adjusted to the time zone — no matter if your betting round has people in Berlin, New York, or Tokyo.

What Kicktipp does better

Many Leagues and Competitions: In addition to the major leagues, Kicktipp also supports Champions League, cup competitions, and national team tournaments like the European Championship or World Cup. Tippster currently focuses on Bundesliga, Premier League, and LaLiga. The 2026 World Cup is available as a recap.

Prediction Calendar with League Mix: Kicktipp allows you to combine different leagues in one betting game — e.g. Bundesliga and Champions League in one table. With Tippster, several leagues run in parallel in the same group, but with separate scoring: each league has its own ranking, its own bonus questions and its own points.

Team Ranking: With Kicktipp, teams can compete against each other within a tipping round — ideal for company events or large groups with departmental competitions.

Years of Experience: Kicktipp has been on the market for many years and has over 2 million members. This means proven technology and a large community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tippster really completely free?
Yes. Tippster is 100% free — all features, all game modes, no hidden costs.
How do you create a betting round?
After registration, a new betting round can be created immediately and friends can be invited via a link.
What is the AI opponent in Tippster?
Tippster's AI opponent is named Tippy, is automatically included in every prediction group, and makes its own predictions for every matchday in the Bundesliga, Premier League, and La Liga—based on probabilities rather than gut feeling. The leaderboard is primarily about competing against your own friends; Tippy runs alongside as an additional benchmark—and makes good enough predictions that finishing ahead of it at the end of the season really means something.
What is the dynamic prediction mode?
An odds-based game mode: Instead of fixed points, you get the odds of the correctly predicted outcome (1/X/2) as points — capped at a min/max value, plus a bonus for the correct goal difference or the exact result. Outsider tips therefore yield more than safe favorites. The odds can optionally come from the group's tips or from real bookmaker odds (frozen before kick-off). Whoever creates a prediction league chooses between classic fixed points and this dynamic mode.
Does Tippster work on mobile?
Yes. Tippster is a Progressive Web App (PWA) and works on any device directly in the browser — without downloading from the App Store.
Is Tippster also available as an app?
Yes, Tippster is available as an app for Android devices. However, as a solo developer, I cannot afford a MacBook, so there is currently no iOS app. All functions can also be used via the web app.
Can push notifications be activated?
Yes, reminders can be activated in the app under Profile. You will then be notified before the game starts if you haven't made your prediction yet.
Can I create custom bonus questions?
Yes. Anyone who creates a betting round or is an admin there can set up to 20 custom bonus questions before the tournament starts. Answer types: Free text, team, player, number or yes/no. The admin takes care of the resolution after the tournament ends — the correct answers are entered, and the system suggests suitable matches from the participants' tips.
Is there a chat in the tipping game?
Yes. Every tipping game has its own real-time chat — with @-mentions to address others directly. Anyone who creates a round or is an admin there can also completely disable the chat for each tipping game.
How can an account be deleted?
Directly in the app under Profile → „Delete Account and Data". For security, your own email address must be typed in, then the account and all associated data will be irrevocably deleted. For questions, tippster@landvogt.consulting can also help.
Can you switch from Kicktipp to Tippster?
Yes, simply create a new betting round on Tippster and share the link with the group. The switch only takes a few minutes. To make the transition as easy as possible for you, Tippster also supports the exact Kicktipp rules in classic game mode (incl. freely configurable point values for perfect hits, goal difference, tendency, a dedicated draw level, and evaluation after 90 minutes in the knockout phase).
Can Kicktipp data be imported?
No, there is currently no import function. The round must be restarted.
