The week runs itself.
Every pool dies the same way: someone has to keep the spreadsheet. Podium handles the cadence so nobody has to.
Fixtures land
The new matchweek opens and picks unlock for everyone in the pool.
Picks lock
Five minutes before kickoff the coupon closes. No late entries, no edits, no arguments.
Scores resolve
Final whistles sync automatically and points are awarded against your pool's rules.
The table settles
Standings update for everyone at once. The group chat takes it from there.
Built for the group chat.
Run your own tournament
Create a pool, choose a league and season, and set the rules. You're the admin — promote co-admins if you'd rather share the job. Friends join by tapping an invite link.
Scoring you actually control
Every point value is a number you set, not a default you live with. Draws can count as a valid pick or not at all — your pool, your rules.
Nobody keeps score
Results sync from live match data after each fixture and the table recalculates on its own. There is no tally to maintain and nothing to reconcile on Monday.
One pool, every device
Native on iOS and Android, plus the web for anyone who'd rather not install anything. Reminders arrive before picks close and again when results are in.
Keep it simple, or don't.
Two modes, chosen per tournament. X, Y and Z below are values the admin picks.
Simple
Call the result. That's the whole game.
Advanced
Rewards the people who read the form guide.

Small groups play for nothing. Bigger pools unlock with one payment from whoever organizes it — everyone else joins free.

Prediction pools, explained.
The short version of everything people ask before they start a pool with their mates.
What is a prediction pool?
A prediction pool is a group game where everyone predicts the outcome of each match — the winner or the exact score — before kickoff. Correct picks score points, and the table updates automatically as results land. Podium runs the whole thing: fixtures in, picks locked, scores resolved, standings settled.
Is Podium free?
Yes. Pools of up to 5 players are free. A one-time $9.99 organizer-paid upgrade lifts the participant cap for one pool; it is not a subscription and does not remove ads.
Which leagues and competitions are supported?
Podium covers major European football competitions and MLB. Open the app to see the current competition list.
How does scoring work?
Every player predicts each match before kickoff. Pick the right winner and you score points; pick the exact score and you score more. Each pool organizer chooses simple or advanced scoring, so the rules fit the group.
What's the player limit for a pool?
Pools of up to 5 players are free. Need room for the whole office or family? A one-time $9.99 organizer-paid upgrade lifts the participant cap for that pool.
Is Podium gambling?
No. There is no money, no odds, and no betting — Podium is a game of sports knowledge between friends. Pools are about bragging rights, not payouts.
Which devices can I play on?
Podium is available on the web now. Android and iOS apps are coming soon.
Start your pool before the next kickoff.
Create your group, invite the people who make matchday interesting, and let the table settle the rest. Podium is available in your browser now.
