Even if you don't know much about soccer you probably still know that 2018 is a World Cup year. The greatest footballing nations of the World will come together this summer in Russia to dazzle us with their skills, score goals, and reach the final on July 15th for a chance to take home the World Cup trophy.
World Cup 2018 Fun Fact: The official FIFA World Cup mascot for the 2018 tournament is a wolf named 'Zabivaka' which translates from Russian to English as "the one who scores".
As always the World Cup is made up of 32 teams divided into eight groups. The first match kicks-off on June 14th between the hosts Russia and Saudi Arabia at the Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow. Who is your fancy to win that one? Maybe you fancy Russia for the win? Well, why not take on the challenge of predicting all 64 match results for a chance to win a cool £100 Million!
Yes, you heard right, the Stars Group have just announced what is probably the biggest ever prize in Sports Betting & Gaming promotions ever. It's called the Stars £100 Million Challenge. All you need to do is predict the winner of every match* at this year's World Cup. Get them all correct and the £100 Million is yours!!!

Thank you juppi47 and do not forget to remind me to honor you when i have 100 millions pounds sterling in my pocket. With this money i do a very beautiful life and it's not that hard to win this prize. If 1,000 people guess the results the prize will be shared but this is very difficult because i will be the only winner. You realize i'm kidding because i looked at the rules and this offer it is not for all. My version is pokerstars.ro... and i do not find this offer. Anyway good luck.

Thank you very much, juppi47, for kindly letting us know about the latest promotional offer at PokerStars. Unfortunately, as dule-vu mentioned in the post above, it seems that not everyone will be able to participate in this fantastic promotion.

Kek, yeah I could imagine somebody winning this from Eastern Europe then they refuse to pay him out since he didn't read the terms in the first place.

Magatt, you have to be happy with what you have. 4 world titles is something very impressive. Others countries do not have a title. I'm sorry for the Bufon because not win a league of champions or is not at this world championship. England if he does not want to participate because of Russian hooligans, he need to ask for a change of seats with Italy, if the law permits. My country last participated in a world championship 20 years ago but you are in an excellent situation and you must to be happy men. Italy invests in football and results will come in future.

Uhhh! What a nice promotion for those of us who love football. Unfortunately I am thousands of kilometers away from residing in some of those countries, which can participate in the promotion. Anyway, my champion candidate is again Germany. The other is Brazil, who always has a nice team. I wish Uruguay could come out champion!

Too many country restrictions there They are limiting the population. The more participating, the easier it can be someone hitting it right. But it is not an easy task. You will need to be super lucky
