Golazzos

What Golazzos does

Golazzos operates a free, social football (soccer) prediction platform that targets football fans, with a primary user base in Colombia and registration open to users worldwide. The product is built around Pollas — prediction pools where users forecast match outcomes across categories including exact score (Marcador), win/lose (Gana/Pierde), first goal (Primer Gol), goal difference (Diferencia de Goles), halftime result (Resultado Parcial), and total goals (# de Goles). Correct predictions earn Golazzo$ points that drive level progression, weekly rankings, trophies, and eligibility for trivia-based prize contests, while the Estadio feature provides an in-app social commentary layer for live match discussion.

The technology stack is a web-based platform accessible on desktop and mobile browsers, with self-service registration (including Facebook OAuth) and Twitter integration for social proof. There is no native app store presence noted, no public API or SDK, and no disclosed AI/ML components. Operations are run through a dual-entity structure: GOLAZZOS LLC in Wilmington, Delaware holds the legal/IP framework for golazzos.com, while INNOVENCER SAS (N.I.T. 860-010-249-1) in Bogota, Colombia handles local operations and regulatory compliance under Acuerdo 4 del 24 de Mayo de 2016 (Colombian gaming regulation) and Ley 1581 de 2012 (Colombian data protection).

The business model is freemium with two tiers: a free Suplente (bench) tier and a low-value Titular subscription (Fichajes) that adds premium content, bonus progression points, and trivia invitations. The company also runs tournament sponsorship — visible across up to six sponsor slots per tournament — with branded prizes (e.g., Colombia national team jerseys, Trionda match balls). Active distribution centers on the FIFA World Cup 2026 (MX-USA-CAN) POLLA MUNDIAL slate, a six-tournament lineup running June–July 2026.
