Eppendorf will run a free online World Cup tipping game for its customers, through its EP-point reward programme.
From 1 June 2010 onwards, EP-points customers will be invited to guess the results of the group-stage matches.
As soon as the round of 16 matches has been set, participants can guess these results too.
At the end of the World Cup, three customers with the correct answers will each receive 5,000 EP-points.
Participants with the highest number of points after the final game will have the chance to win one of three Apple Ipads.
Eppendorf also has consolation prizes for participants that come last.
