Problem
Sports fans who want to compete for cash with friends often face cumbersome setups: they must manually collect entry fees, track scores, and distribute winnings, which can be error‑prone and time‑consuming. Additionally, many existing platforms limit play to large sportsbooks or require participants to gamble against the house, restricting peer‑to‑peer competition.
Solution
Splash Sports offers a peer‑to‑peer platform that lets users create and join real‑money sports contests in formats such as survivor, daily fantasy, pick‑em, confidence, and other popular game types. The service handles secure entry collection, live leaderboards, detailed statistics, and automatic prize payouts, allowing participants to focus on the competition. Contests can be organized privately among friends or publicly as guaranteed contests, with legal compliance across most of the United States and Canada. The platform provides in‑app chat and real‑time score tracking, creating a social experience that mirrors traditional sports betting without the house edge.
