Common questions
Is Kickvora completely free to use?
Yes. Kickvora is 100% free. There are no entry fees, no paid tiers, and no financial transactions of any kind on the platform.
Can I change my team after the match starts?
No. Your team locks at the scheduled start time of the match. All selections must be finalised before the match begins.
How are points updated?
