Four steps, zero casino vibes
Members write their own terms, fund their own stakes, and settle outcomes fairly. The club’s job is to hold money neutrally and release it when resolved.
Create the bet
Write terms in plain language and invite the other member.
💬 Example: “I bet you €20 I land a kickflip before Friday.”
- Stake amount
- Deadline
- Win condition
Accept + fund stakes
Both members accept the terms before any money moves.
- Card / wallet deposit
- Funds go into club escrow
- Everything tracked in history
Lock the pot
No unilateral changes after things get real.
- Locked until resolved
- No quiet back-outs
- Mutual cancellation possible
Resolve + payout
Confirm winner, handle disputes, then instantly pay out.
- Dual confirmation (default)
- Optional proof/witness
- Winner receives pot minus fees
What kind of bets?
As long as it’s legal, safe, and all sides agree to the terms, the club can hold the stakes. Think everyday challenges, accountability, and friendly “I told you so” moments.
Everyday challenges
- 🛹 “€20 I land a heelflip before you.”
- 🏋️ “€50 I hit the gym 3× a week for a month.”
- 🚭 “€30 if I smoke a single cigarette this week.”
- 📚 “€25 I finish this online course by month-end.”
Arguments & predictions
- ⚽ “€10 says our team wins on Saturday.”
- 🌧️ “€5 that it rains tomorrow where we live.”
- 🎮 “Loser of best-of-3 FIFA adds €15 to the pot.”
- 👥 “€20 says I’m on time all week.”
Funds move only when a bet is created
We don’t encourage holding balances. Each bet funds itself, locks the pot, then pays out when resolved.
What the club holds
Only what’s required to run a bet safely.
- The stake amount each member commits to that bet
- Any required fees
- Nothing else
How money moves
- Terms accepted first → then deposits happen
- Both members deposit via card / wallet into club escrow
- Funds lock until resolution
- Winner confirmed → instant payout (minus fees)
If there’s a dispute, the bet pauses and follows the club’s dispute flow.
Simple pricing that stays small and fair
Membership supports operations and keeps the club sustainable. Bet fees are small, transparent, and only applied when it makes sense.
Membership required to use the platform.
What fees support

Friendly bets, real accountability
Our mission is to create a fair, safe, and fun space where people can make friendly real-world bets — and actually follow through — using neutral escrow and transparent rules.
It’s about
- Accountability
- Friendly competition
- Motivation
- Trust between people
- A little fun money on the line
What we do (and don’t do)
- We do: hold stakes neutrally, lock pots, and release funds when resolved
- We don’t: offer odds, run casino games, or bet against members
- We don’t: encourage holding balances — bets fund themselves
If a bet can’t be resolved fairly, it pauses and follows the club’s dispute flow.
What we’re building first (MVP)
We’re starting small with a founding group, then expanding features only when the core is solid.
Phase 1 (MVP)
- Member signup + membership payment
- Create/accept bets + escrow deposit + lock
- Dual confirmation resolution
- Basic dispute flow
- Instant payouts + activity history
- Terms & rules pages
Later phases
- Third-party witnesses
- Proof upload (photo/video) + tooling
- Challenges templates + reminders
- Leaderboards + groups (teams/housemates)
- Full mobile app
Founding members help shape the rules and product direction.
