From Kicktipp to tiptilldone: What You Need to Know

We respect Kicktipp

Before we start: Kicktipp has had a working product for tippers since 2007. 1.3 million registered users, a reliable engine, clear scoring mechanics. We're not building tiptilldone because Kicktipp is bad. We're building it because a few things are possible in 2026 that were science fiction in 2007.

What tiptilldone does differently

1. 1.AI Picks with reasoning — Claude-generated prediction for each of the 104 WC matches, with reasoning ("why 2-1?")
2. 2.Live market consensus data — Polymarket odds next to your tip input (or as "market consensus" label in DACH)
3. 3.Cross-round tags — you tip in your Stammtisch round AND see at the same time how you stand in the "Sturm Graz Fans" leaderboard
4. 4.Telegram bot — tip in 10 seconds without opening an app (see separate article)
5. 5.Multi-locale — DE/EN/SI from day 1, which Kicktipp doesn't have
6. 6.Modern UI — Next.js 15, mobile-first, no 2007 look

What Kicktipp does better

Honestly? Several things.

1. 1.Maturity — 18 years of bug fixes, established workflows
2. 2.Established user base — if your Stammtisch has been at Kicktipp for 10 years, that's tradition
3. 3.More bonus-point schemes — Kicktipp has dozens, we have 5 (which cover 90% of use cases)
4. 4.Better browser extensions for power users
5. 5.Email notifications established — ours are coming in V1.5

When is switching worth it?

You should switch if: - You're starting a new round (no migration overhead) - Your round has 3+ tech-affine tippers ("the important ones pull others along") - You want to seriously test AI Picks (€19 Premium for all of WC26) - You have tippers outside Germany/Austria/Switzerland (EN/SI support) - You like the Telegram bot workflow

You should NOT switch if: - Your 12 Stammtisch tippers are all 60+ and not app-affine - You just want "it works" and don't feel like learning something new - You need very specific Kicktipp bonus schemes (e.g., "tipping with goal difference and half-time tip")

How migration works

We built a migration tool. You enter the URL of your Kicktipp round (e.g. https://www.kicktipp.de/your-name) — and tiptilldone:

1. 1.Reads the member list (publicly visible)
2. 2.Creates a new tiptilldone round with the same name
3. 3.Sends magic-link invitations to email addresses (if your Kicktipp round has emails public — otherwise you have to invite manually)
4. 4.Optional: imports current point standings (for ranking preservation)

Tool is at tiptilldone.com/von-kicktipp-wechseln.

What happens to your Kicktipp points?

If your round switches to tiptilldone, I can only show your existing point standings as "historical value" — they don't count toward WC26 points. WC26 starts at 0.

What if only half switches?

Realistic scenario: 7 of 12 Stammtisch members switch, 5 stay at Kicktipp. What now?

Option A: Run both rounds in parallel. You invest a bit more time but have the majority on both platforms. WC26 is only 38 days — manageable.

Option B: Dual tipper for hold-outs. You tip on both platforms, post both score updates in the Stammtisch chat. The Kicktipp stayers see "ah, this person's switching between platforms" and might be convinced next season.

Option C: Stay completely at Kicktipp. That's also okay. tiptilldone will come around again in 2 years at Euro 2028 — maybe the timing is better then.

Our ask

If you switch: give us feedback. Especially about things that are worse than at Kicktipp. We're building V1.5 and V2 (for Euro 28) on your input.

If you don't switch: also give us feedback. What convinced you to stay? What would we need so you'd switch in 2 years?
