The Tradesports PREDICTIONS GAME asks players to make YES or NO predictions about the outcomes of things that happen during sporting events, where the best predictors win. Different from traditional fantasy sports, Tradesports contests are based upon the teams and players fans know about. There are no drafts and no rosters.

Free-to-play contests are also available.[3]
