Two ways to play
How it works
Bettles works privately with friends or in a big public Bettle — with real odds and no bookmaker.
Private Bettles
Your club. Your rules.
Start a private club and invite your friends
Your club decides: with or without a stake
The group handles money in and out itself — the app helps with tracking and admin
Payout split is up to you — your club, your rules
Public Bettles
Big tournaments. Organized by the platform.
Open tournaments for hundreds to thousands of players
Payment handling and prizes via the platform
Fixed rules and prize structure
At launch: play Bettle One (World Cup 2026) for free

How a Bettle plays out
Make predictions
Stake Bettle Coins on match results — based on real odds. You can change them until kickoff.
Staying in counts
Skip a match and you pay a penalty. Drop to zero and you're out. You can't coast here.
Collect winnings
In the end the players with the highest Bettle Coin balance win. No bookmaker takes a cut.
The principle
Other pools give you points.
Bettles gives you odds.
You stake Bettle Coins at the odds of real betting operators. Predict boldly, play it safe, go all in — your style decides, not a points table. And no bookmaker takes a cut.
Example
A typical private Bettle
Marco starts a club for the second half of the league season and invites 9 friends. The group agrees on €20 a head — paid among themselves, with the app tracking who's in.
All 10 start with 1,000 Bettle Coins. On matchday one, Anna stakes 50 coins on a home win for Bayern at odds of 1.85. Bayern win — she gets 92.5 coins back. Bob forgot to predict: penalty due, minus 10 coins. Over 17 matchdays it comes down to who has the better instinct and who just drifts through the season.
At the end of the season the €200 pot goes to the players with the most coins. Exactly how it's split is something the club decided at the start — fair, transparent, no house edge.
