How the pool works, in short
MatchPlay Omnisports is a totalisator pool. That means one shared pot, not a fixed price like a bookmaker gives you.
Everyone who enters picks a result for each match on the card. Every stake goes into that pot, and the pot is
shared between the tickets with the most results right. Nobody knows what a winning ticket pays until the pool
closes and the matches finish. The payout depends on the size of the pot and on how many other people picked the
same way.
Each match takes one of three picks: a home win, a draw or an away win.
Settled pools pay at 11/14, 12/14, 13/14 and 14/14 correct, so a ticket does not have to be perfect to win. This is a game of chance. Most tickets in every pool win nothing.

level paid, see MatchPlay Omnisports results and payouts.

MatchPlay Omnisports fixtures FAQ
How many matches are on a MatchPlay Omnisports card?
14. You pick the result of every one of them. The card is fixed once the pool opens, so nobody can add or swap a match after you enter.
What do 1, 2, 4 and 7 mean on a MatchPlay Omnisports card?
On the winning combinations the operator publishes after every pool, 4 is a home win, 2 is a draw and 1 is an away win. SoccerBetting SA checked that instead of assuming it. We lined up every symbol against the published score of the match in that spot, across 22 settled MatchPlay Omnisports pools. That is 306 comparisons. 304 agreed and 2 did not. That is a gap in the operator's published data, not a different meaning. Another 2 matches were published as void. The combination then reads "All" and every pick counts.
How many correct results does a MatchPlay Omnisports ticket need to win?
Settled MatchPlay Omnisports pools pay at 11/14, 12/14, 13/14 and 14/14 correct, so a ticket does not have to be perfect to win. The amount at each level changes every pool. It depends on the size of the pot and on how many other tickets got to the same level.
When does the current MatchPlay Omnisports pool close?
Pool 1023 closed Saturday 7 November 2026 at 13:08 South African time. The operator takes no entries after that. This page is rebuilt from the operator's feed rather than typed by hand. The close time above moves to the next pool once this one shuts.
Where do these MatchPlay Omnisports fixtures come from?
From the public pool feed behind www.nationallottery.co.za. That is the official MatchPlay Omnisports site, run by National Lottery. This page republishes the match list, the kick-off times and the pool times, and nothing else. The date and time we last checked sit above the table.
Where this page gets its data
This page republishes the match list, kick-off times, pool codes, pool times and pot sizes. They come from the
public pool feed used by www.nationallottery.co.za , the official MatchPlay Omnisports site. Run by the South African National Lottery, the same operator as SportStake 13, which it renamed MatchPlay 13 on 1 June 2026. Last checked Saturday 7 November 2026 at 13:13. A fixture can change or be postponed after it is published, so
check the card with the operator before you enter a pool.
SoccerBetting SA is not the pool operator. We take no bets and hold no money. See how we check the data for the way every figure here is collected and checked.
