Is It Mandatory to Buy Cards in Sorare?
No, it is not mandatory, but if you want to enter certain tournaments, you will need to put together a team of at least 5 cards, which, depending on the players you have collected, you may have to buy with money. By entering these competitions, you can get access to new players or cash prizes from the tournament rewards.
How Do You Buy Cards in Sorare?
You can buy cards in Sorare in two ways: through auctions for New Cards, or on the Transfer Market for existing cards. You can buy one of the following:
New Cards: They can be bought through auction in New Signings. They are issued by Sorare. You can buy a single card or a bundle of cards. Existing Cards: They can be bought on the Transfer Market. These belong to other Managers and have been previously issued by Sorare. Follow these steps to buy New Cards:
➡️ 1. When you hover over the "Market" tab, you will see a new tab; to buy new cards you can select "Cards", "Bundles" or "1 Serial".

➡️ 2. Use the filters on the left to find the card you want. When you are ready, click the "Bid" button.
➡️ 3. A pop-up will appear. You can pay by credit card or ETH. Use the tab to choose one payment method or the other. Then define the amount of your bid. (Note: be quick; if your amount is below the highest bid, you cannot bid.) Then click "Place Bid" to place your bid. Make sure you are bidding on the right card (look at the bottom of the pop-up).
➡️ 4. For card payments, you may need to verify your transaction using 3DS (a verification system to prevent fraud). Open your bank's mobile app or check our SMS to verify the transaction.
How Do You Buy a Player From the Transfer Market in Sorare?
➡️ 1. After you get to the "Market" tab, go to the Transfer Market section and enter one of the 4 options to view the players that active users in Sorare have put on the transfer list.

➡️ 2. Use the filters on the left to find the card you want. When you are ready, click the "Buy" button.

➡️ 3. You can transfer money into it via MetaMask or load money directly with your credit card.
What Is Sorare? How Do You Start the Game?
When you start the game, you are given some missions. Together with these missions, given so that you can grasp the game and the interface, the game gives you 12 White (Common) cards. These cards earn you points every week with a scoring system based on OPTA data. Every week you set up your squad of 5 footballers and start joining leagues. White, that is Common, cards cannot be sold or traded. But although these cards seem worthless, they are not. You get the chance to join a league (Rookie League) in which you can win Rare cards!
On the left you can see a screenshot of a Rookie League I took on July 22, 2021, which about 6,000 people joined. In order: 1st gets a Tier 1 Rare Card, 2nd a Tier 2 Rare Card, 3rd a Tier 2 Rare Card, the top 10% slice gets a Star Common Card, 10%-50% gets a Tier 1 Common Card and the rest are given a Tier 2 Common Card... So if you finish in the top 3, you can also win a card with a minimum value of $50-100 (which can be much more). So sign up right away and start joining the Rookie League with your free cards...
How Can I Join Sorare With a Referral Code?
If you are going to join the game, I recommend joining with a referral code. If you join with a referral code and buy 5 cards from the auction (New Card Auctions) cards that the game constantly launches, it gives you a +1 gift player.
By clicking this link you can join the game with a referral code and win a +1 Gift Card when you buy your first 5 Auction cards.
What Are the Benefits of Joining Sorare With a Referral Code?
If you join without a referral code, you cannot benefit from the gift card. There is no downside to joining with a referral code; on the contrary, you benefit by gaining 1 extra player :)
