Our story
About
7 years of experience. Rebuilt from scratch.
Bettles started with a simple question: why do sports fans bet against a bookmaker — instead of against each other?
Since 2018 we've been building and testing a platform where friends play against each other in private groups, with real stakes and real odds. No house edge, no hidden fees. The entire pot goes to the winners.
After years of learning with friends, family and real money, we rebuilt the whole platform from the ground up — with modern architecture and the deep product knowledge of 7+ years of iteration.
Our values
What Bettles believes in
Fair
No house edge. The entire stake goes to the players.
Social
Sports betting belongs among friends — not at a machine.
Transparent
Real odds, open rules, clear payout.
The journey
World Cup 2018 — the idea gets real
The first prototype is built on the side. Tested with friends and family — with real money. The question from day one: why bet against a bookmaker when you can play against each other?
Euro 2020/21 — iterated further
Second prototype. Game mechanics sharpened, the first UX patterns validated.
Bundesliga & World Cup Qatar
Two prototypes in one year — the Bundesliga second half and the 2022 World Cup. Real odds, real stakes, real lessons.
The full programme
Bundesliga, Champions League and freely chosen Bettles — the most extensive prototype yet. Several competitions in parallel, maximum flexibility.
Euro 2024 — the last iteration
Sixth and final prototype on the old stack. Six years of live operation, deep product knowledge — ready for a fresh start.
Rebuilt from the ground up
New architecture, new stack — the entire system rebuilt from scratch. The code is new, the experience isn't.
Go-live — Bettle One for the 2026 World Cup
A free World Cup prediction game for up to 1,000 players. The starting whistle for Bettles.
