Beat the Drop Rules
Beat the Drop is a predictor game that requires players to split their prize pot between two possible answers for every question they encounter. You take the cash you placed on the winning answer through to the next question.
You can decide to split your pot however you like on each question. You could go all-in on the first question and win, in which case you'd carry your starting amount through to your second question. In theory you could do this all the way thorough and win the full jackpot. However, generally the pot whittles down as you progress because you cover both outcomes with your answers.
The game ends when you answered all questions with money left over, or when you run out of money.
It's possible to pay to play Beat the Drop and reduce your number of questions, while boosting your potential winnings.
Beat the Drop Example
Here's an example of Paddy Power Beat the Drop in action. You start a new game with £1,000 in your pot and choose to play on a football question. In this example, you need to decide whether both teams will score in a match between Man Utd vs Liverpool.
- You think that's likely so you go all in with your £1,000 pot on Yes, for both teams to score.
- You can use the gauge in the middle to change your decision and move your money around. Just make sure you make the final call before the game.
- In the end, the game ends 2-2 and you progress to the next question with your full £1,000 intact!
