SportStake 13 is the National Lottery's football pool, where you predict the results of 13 selected matches. Since Sizekhaya Holdings took over the National Lottery from Ithuba on 1 June 2026, the game has been called MatchPlay 13. The way it is played is essentially unchanged, and most people still search for it as SportStake.

The results above show the latest MatchPlay 13 round: every match, whether it was a home win, draw or away win, and the payout for each prize division. Below, we explain how the game works and how it differs from TAB's Soccer 13, a separate pool that many South African players confuse it with.

How does SportStake 13 (MatchPlay 13) work?

MatchPlay 13 is a pooled game, not a fixed-odds bet. The National Lottery publishes a list of 13 football matches for each round, and you predict the full-time result of each one: a home win, a draw or an away win. Everyone pays a set fee per board into a shared prize pool, and that pool is divided among the winning boards in each division.

You do not need all 13 correct to win something, which is a key point many first-time players miss. You need at least 10 correct results to win a prize, and the more you call right, the higher the division you reach. There are usually two lists a week, a weekend list and a midweek list, each with its own list number. Fixtures, cut-off times and the fee per board are published for each round, so always check the current round before you enter.

How to check your SportStake 13 ticket

  • Find the list number and date on your ticket and make sure they match the round above.
  • Compare your prediction for each of the 13 matches with the result shown.
  • Count your correct results. Ten or more wins a prize.
  • Check the payout for your division in the table under the results.
  • Confirm against the official National Lottery result before you claim. Our results are for information only.

How is SportStake 13 different from Soccer 13?

The two games look similar but are separate pools with different matches and different payouts. SportStake 13, now MatchPlay 13, is a National Lottery game, run by Sizekhaya since June 2026 and regulated as a lottery product. Soccer 13 is a TAB tote pool, run with Svenska Spel in Sweden, where South African bets are added to the Swedish host pool.

They also write results differently. TAB tickets use 1 for a Team A win, 2 for a draw and 3 for a Team B win, so a 2 on a TAB ticket is a draw. Always check your ticket against the results for the game you actually played.

Frequently asked questions

Is SportStake 13 still running?+

Yes, under a new name. When Sizekhaya Holdings became the National Lottery operator on 1 June 2026, SportStake was rebranded as MatchPlay. SportStake 13 is now MatchPlay 13, and the game works in essentially the same way, predicting the results of 13 football matches.

Do I need all 13 results correct to win?+

No. MatchPlay 13 pays four divisions, so you win a prize with 10, 11, 12 or 13 correct results, and the payout grows as you call more correctly. Getting all 13 right wins or shares the top division. Nine or fewer correct wins nothing.

Who runs SportStake 13 now?+

Sizekhaya Holdings, which took over the South African National Lottery licence from Ithuba on 1 June 2026. Sizekhaya also runs Lotto, Powerball and the Daily Lotto. MatchPlay 13 is a pooled national lottery game, with the prize money coming from board fees and shared among the winners in each division.

Is SportStake 13 the same as Soccer 13?+

No, though they are easy to confuse. SportStake 13, now MatchPlay 13, is a National Lottery game. Soccer 13 is a separate TAB pool hosted by Svenska Spel in Sweden. They use different matches and pay different amounts, so always check your ticket against the right results.
