1. Define "prognosis" and stay within the internal framework
In a corporate context, a prediction game consists of guessing the outcome of a match, the number of points scored or decisive actions, with no money involved and without opening it up to the general public.
This is very different from sports betting, which is offered by licensed and regulated betting sites. To stay out of the realm of gambling, ban all financial contributions, limit participation to employees, and favor symbolic prizes. At the same time, don't use rights-protected elements (official names, logos, complete calendars): create your own generic scenarios.
2. RGPD: processing personal data responsibly.
Collect only what is necessary (name, professional email, team, predictions), clearly inform participants, define a short retention period, and facilitate the exercise of rights (access, rectification, deletion). Possible legal basis: legitimate interest of the employer in animating the community. Respect the confidentiality of scores, encrypt exports and work with a service provider who hosts and processes data in the EU.
3. Game design: generic scenarios, scoring and fairness
If you don't have official rights, opt for anonymous posters (Team A vs. Team B), generic sports prediction grids and points awarded according to accuracy.
Add bonuses for the score difference or a key stat, without mentioning an event or mark. Plan a stable scale, a clear tie-break and an internal calendar.
4. Choose an in-house betting platform with an intuitive interface
To scale up, use a digital solution: real-time filing, notifications, multi-media access, customization in corporate colors. Ideally, a turnkey solution saves you time and effort.
