Questions
Do my players need an account or an app?
No. They open your link on any phone or computer, tap a square, type a name, and they're in.
What does it cost?
Making a board and running it by hand is free. Live scoring is $1.99 for a board, paid once, and you can add it any time from your host panel. SquaresBets Pro is $10 a month for unlimited boards with live scoring and your own branded page.
How does live scoring work?
Your board follows its real NFL game. The score updates on the board, each quarter's result and the final are saved as they finish, and every touchdown and field goal is added to the scoring plays list. You can still correct anything yourself.
Which games does it cover?
You can pick a real game from the list for the NFL, NBA, WNBA, or college football and basketball, or make a board for any custom matchup. Automatic live scoring works for NFL games today, with more planned. Boards for other games are scored by hand.
What about overtime?
The Final slot is the score after overtime, so an overtime game is handled for you.
Do you handle the money?
No. We never hold or move money. If your pool involves money, you and your players sort that out between yourselves. SquaresBets just keeps track of the squares, the numbers and the winners, and lets you mark who has paid.
Is this gambling?
SquaresBets is a tool for friendly, for-fun pools. We don't run any wagering and we don't endorse gambling, and everyone is responsible for following the laws that apply to them. See our Terms.
How long does a board last?
A board is deleted automatically after 90 days of no activity, or 14 days if nobody ever claimed a square.
Ready for kickoff?
Your board is a minute away. Share the link and let the game do the rest.
