The 2026 FIFA World Cup is hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with 48 teams competing across 104 matches — the largest World Cup in the tournament's history. Every fixture is available on Bet9ja, SportyBet, 1xBet, and Stake, and all the standard football betting markets are available for group stage matches and knockout rounds alike.
This guide explains which markets are available for World Cup fixtures and how booking codes work across bookmakers for these matches.
Markets available for World Cup fixtures
1X2 (Match Result)
The standard 90-minute result: home win, draw, or away win. For group stage matches, there is no extra time — 90 minutes plus stoppage time is the complete match, and draws are valid results. For knockout rounds, extra time and penalties are possible, but standard 1X2 markets still settle on the 90-minute result only.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS / GG)
Available for all World Cup fixtures. Settlement is based on 90 minutes — does both teams score at least one goal before the final whistle? Extra time does not count for standard BTTS markets.
Over/Under Goals
Total goals for both teams combined, over or under a line. The 2.5 line is the most common across all bookmakers. All standard Over/Under lines (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5) are available for high-profile fixtures. Settlement is at 90 minutes.
Double Chance (1X / X2 / 12)
Available for all 104 matches. Covers two of the three 90-minute outcomes in a single selection.
Draw No Bet
Available for all World Cup fixtures. If the match ends in a draw at 90 minutes, your stake is returned.
Correct Score
Available across all bookmakers for World Cup matches. Odds vary between platforms, and availability of higher scorelines (e.g. 4-0, 5-0) may differ.
Handicap
European and Asian Handicap lines are available for all fixtures. Asian Handicap is particularly common for group-stage matches with a significant quality gap between the two teams, where a large handicap creates a more balanced market than a 1X2.
Half-Time / Full-Time
Available on all bookmakers for high-profile fixtures across all stages.
Total Cards and Total Corners
Available on most bookmakers for major fixtures. Availability may be limited for some group-stage matches involving smaller nations on certain platforms.
Tournament outrights
Group Winner, Tournament Winner, and Top Scorer are available as outright markets that remain open throughout the tournament. These settle at the conclusion of the relevant stage or the tournament itself.
How booking codes work for World Cup games
World Cup matches work exactly like domestic league matches when it comes to booking codes. You build a slip, receive a booking code, and can share that code with anyone to load the same selections on the same bookmaker.
SlipMix can convert World Cup booking codes between bookmakers using the same process it uses for club football. Fixtures are matched using Sportradar event IDs — the underlying match identifier that all four bookmakers share — so SlipMix can correctly identify a World Cup fixture on the source bookmaker and find the same fixture on the target bookmaker.
One important note: odds are not transferred. After conversion, the selections on the target bookmaker reflect that bookmaker's current prices — which will differ from the prices on the source bookmaker when the original code was created.
Group stage vs knockout rounds
Most standard markets (1X2, BTTS, Over/Under, Correct Score) always settle on 90 minutes plus stoppage time. This is consistent across group and knockout stages.
The distinction matters in knockout rounds: if a match draws at 90 minutes and proceeds to extra time and penalties, standard 90-minute markets are already settled. Bookmakers may offer separate "To qualify" or "Including extra time" markets for knockout matches — these are different market types with different settlement rules.

Frequently asked questions
Do standard markets include extra time for knockout rounds? No. Standard 90-minute markets — 1X2, BTTS, Over/Under Goals, Correct Score, and most others — settle at 90 minutes plus stoppage time. A match that ends 1-1 after 90 minutes and goes to extra time still settles as a draw for the standard 1X2 market. Extra time and penalties are covered by separate market types where offered.
Can I convert a booking code that includes tournament outrights like "Brazil to win the World Cup"? No. SlipMix converts match-level selections — bets tied to a specific fixture. Tournament-level outright bets (Group Winner, Tournament Winner, Top Scorer) are not attached to a single match and cannot be converted between bookmakers. Only the match selections in a code are converted.
Are odds the same across all bookmakers for World Cup matches? No. Each bookmaker sets its own prices. After converting a booking code to a different bookmaker, the odds shown are that bookmaker's own current prices — they will differ from the source bookmaker's odds, sometimes significantly.
