Built for your group chat

The betting is only half of it. Friendly Stakes gives the whole group somewhere to watch the action, run their mouths, and keep receipts on each other — a feed built for your circle, not an algorithm.

The social feed with bets, golf, comments and reactions

Group bets

One bet, up to thirty takers

Feeling confident? Don’t bet one friend — bet all of them. Post your take once and let everyone who disagrees put a slot where their mouth is.

  • Claimable slots

    Set 1–30 slots. Friends claim first-come, first-served; each claim becomes its own 1-on-1 bet against you.

  • Pick your audience

    Broadcast to all friends, hand-picked people, a named friend group, or a share link.

  • Only the broadcaster pays

    Creating group bets is a Pro feature. Claiming a slot is free, always.

Friends

Friends, with receipts

Add friends by search or QR code. Every friendship comes with a running head-to-head ledger from day one.

  • Head-to-head on every row

    Your record against each friend, right in the list — with a “Bet them” button next to it.

  • Private nicknames

    Rename anyone. Only you see it, and it follows them everywhere — bets, pools, leaderboards.

  • Friend groups

    Name your circles — “The League,” “Golf Guys,” “The Roommates” — and use them as one-tap audiences and feed filters.

  • Streaks on display

    A friend on a heater shows up with their avatar literally on fire. You'll know who to avoid.

The feed

Where the gloating happens

Settled bets, live pools, golf rounds and tournaments flow through one social feed as ticket-style cards. Comment threads and emoji reactions run on everything — and a reaction detail view names exactly who dropped the skull on your loss.

You control visibility per item. Share the triumphs; the less flattering results can stay between the two of you.

Invites

No app? No problem.

Every bet and pool has an invite link that renders the whole thing — terms, stakes, deadline — for someone who’s never installed anything. They accept first, sign up second, and it’s all waiting when they land. It’s how your group gets in without anyone “downloading an app for this.”

And when things happen — accepts, declines, finals, pool locks — notifications land in-app and by push, so nobody misses their turn.
