Kongebonus launches community-led World Cup hub ahead of 2026 tournament

Kongebonus, the leading source for iGaming news and casino and betting information in Norway, has launched a dedicated World Cup hub ahead of this summer’s tournament, introducing a new community-focused experience designed to bring Norwegian football fans together throughout the competition.

Positioned as the “home of the second screen”, the new page transforms Kongebonus from a traditional affiliate and information platform into a live World Cup companion, combining real-time discussion, free-to-play prediction games, live match information and curated tournament content in one place.

The page, which will go live 1st of June, before the start of the World Cup, centres around an interactive live chat feature where users can discuss matches, share predictions and react to key moments together in real time. The chat will be moderated by the Kongebonus team and integrated directly into the wider World Cup experience through our official Pick’em competition.

This competition is driven by a free-to-enter Pick’em predictor game running throughout the tournament. Each game day, users will be able to submit three predictions for the chance to win prizes, while a live leaderboard will track performance, crowning the top Pick’em winners with winners badges and giving them some serious bragging rights to show off to the community.

Additional features on the page include live in-game updates, upcoming fixtures, local Norwegian broadcast information, weather updates for matches, curated World Cup news coverage and a dedicated promotions section highlighting selected offers and boosted odds from Kongebonus partners.

David Nilsen, Editor-in-Chief at Kongebonus, said: “The World Cup is about more than just watching football, it is about reacting together and feeling part of the wider conversation. With many matches taking place at late-night or unusual hours for Norwegian fans, we wanted to create a second-screen hub that keeps that shared experience alive.

“The live chat is at the heart of the page, giving fans a place to follow the action, share opinions and connect with the wider Kongebonus community throughout the tournament.”
