Why Poolr
What makes Poolr different
Plenty of sites will run a pool for you. Very few of them are on your side about it.
No ads. Not one.
Your players never see a banner, a takeover, or a betting promo. Nothing on the screen is there because somebody paid for it.
One flat fee
A single payment per pool once it outgrows the free limit. Never per player, never a subscription, and never a cut of your pot.
It runs itself
Scores arrive, picks grade, standings reorder, and awards land without anyone pressing a button.
Stats worth reading
Season grids, live odds, weekly recaps, pick history, and a profile for every player. Not just a table of totals.
Your rules, your call
Deadlines, penalties, strikes, tie handling, payout splits, and visibility. Set them the way your group has always played.
Nothing held back
There is no premium tier keeping the useful half out of reach. Every pool gets everything.
No ads means no ads.Not a banner, not a sponsored row in the standings, not a betting promo between your picks. The fee keeps the lights on so your players do not have to.
Formats
Six ways to run it
Pick the one your group already argues about. Every format grades itself, and more are on the way.
Margin
High SkillBack one team each week and bank the margin it wins by. Lose and that margin comes off your total. Each team can only be used once all season.
Every point of every game matters, right to the whistle.
Highest season margin wins
Survivor
High SkillOne team a week, no repeats. Pick a winner and you live to see the next week. A loss is a strike, and you decide how many strikes it takes.
Set strikes from 0 to 3, plus how ties are handled.
Last player standing wins
Confidence
Medium SkillPick’Em with a twist. Pick every game, then stake more on the ones you are surest about.
A sixteen game week is worth 136 points. Run it for the season or crown a winner every week.
Most points banked wins
Pick 'Em
Medium SkillPick every game on the slate, every week. Straight up, with no spreads to argue about. The board grades itself as the scores land.
Runs the full season with a week by week record.
Most correct picks wins
Thirty Three
Low SkillThirty two players and thirty two NFL teams. You do not pick one, you are assigned one at random. Any week your team scores exactly 33 points you win the pot, and if nobody lands on 33 the closest takes it.
Priced per week. Set the number, and whether only an exact hit pays or the closest always does.
Your team scores 33, or lands closest, and you win
Squares
Low SkillA 10 by 10 grid on a single game. Everyone claims blind, because the digits are drawn only after claiming closes. Nobody gets to hunt the 0 and the 7.
Pay all four quarters, just halftime and final, or the final only.
Whoever holds the square when a quarter ends
Back one team a week and bank the margin it wins by. The board reorders itself as the games go final.
More coming soonCollege football and March Madness brackets, with more formats on the way.
What you get
The unglamorous half, handled
Grading picks is the easy part. This is everything else the job involves.
Payment tracking
Know who has paid without asking
Mark off each player as the money arrives, with the method they used and the date it landed. Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal, or cash. Publish your own handles so nobody has to ask where to send it.
- Method and date on every payment
- Your handles shown to the group
- One glance tells you who still owes

Prize pool
The split is worked out for you
Set an entry fee and split it across as many places as you like by percentage. Hold a slice back for costs if you need to. Every figure on screen adds up to the real net pot, so the number beside a winner is the number you hand them.
- Split by percentage across any places
- Optional withholding for pool costs
- Rounded amounts always sum to the pot

Live scoring
A board that moves on its own

- Standings update as games go final
- Live odds of winning
- The exact number you need this week

At whatever deadline you set. Anyone who missed takes the penalty you chose.
- Kickoff
Scores arrive
Straight from the live feed. Nobody types a result in.
- While you watch
The board moves
Every pick carries its running margin as the game swings. Nobody waits for the whistle to see where they stand.
- Final whistle
It all settles
Each pick is graded and its margin banked by your format’s own rules, whichever one you picked.
- Same moment
Awards land
Streaks, weekly honours, and season long feats are worked out and handed to whoever earned them.
- Each week
Recap goes out
The week in one email, sent to every player in the pool.
Nobody has to run the numbers
Chasing picks, typing scores into a spreadsheet, rebuilding the table on a Monday night, then working out who owes what at the end. None of that is the fun part, and none of it is yours to do here. It works the same way whichever format you run.
- No results to enter
- No standings to recalculate
- No reminders to send by hand
- No payout math at the end

Awards are displayed right on the leaderboard
Earned in public
An award is not a line in a profile nobody opens. It rides beside the name on the leaderboard all season, so everyone can see who is on a streak and who is quietly collecting the ones nobody wants. Plenty more sit behind these, including Podium Finish, Win Leader, Streak Master, and Wooden Spoon.

Questions
The ones worth asking
Is every feature really included?
Yes. There is no premium plan and nothing is sold as an add on. Payment tracking, payouts, awards, notifications, and every format are in every pool from the moment you create it.
Do you handle the money?
No. Players pay you directly, however your group already settles up. The app records who has paid and works out what each winner is owed.
Can I run more than one pool?
As many as you like, in any mix of formats, and you can switch between them without signing out.
Which sports can I run?
NFL pools are live today. College football and March Madness brackets are on the way, and your existing pools carry on exactly as they are.
What does it cost?
Small pools are free. Once a pool grows past the free member limit it takes a single flat fee to keep it unlocked. One payment for the pool, never a charge per player, and never a subscription. The amount is shown before you pay.
