College and Pro football seasons are open!
The sports pool that runs itself. Send one link: your players pick against live odds, games lock at kickoff, frames score themselves, and standings update the moment a game ends. Free to run, free to play — no card, no per-player fees.
Free for everyone through October — open beta, all features on. From Nov 1: playing in pools stays free forever; commissioners/power users $5/month.
Pool formats
One pool, two seasons: Saturday's college slate and Sunday's NFL games in the same standings — the full slate from both, or a curated list of only the games you want. Or keep them in separate pools. Either way, the pool does the arithmetic.
Run a classic PickEm, a Confidence pool with weighted picks, a Survivor pool that thins the field every week, or an Allowance pool with a per-frame budget of nits — its own play-money currency — across moneylines, spreads, and totals. Pick the format when you create the pool — fine tune the rest of your options throughout the season and/or subsequent seasons.
1 pt / correct
Pick winners straight up. Most correct picks takes the frame. Free on NFL, College Football and MLB.
3-2-2 · 5-3-1 · custom
Rank your picks — put more weight on the games you trust. Pick straight up or against the spread (ATS).
1 pick / frame
Pick one team to win each frame (usually per week). Never repeat your team. Lose once, you're out.
dits per frame
Receive a daily or weekly or custom timeframe allowance amount to spend across all or some leagues and market types (spreads, moneylines, and totals.) Carry over net earnings into the next timeframe, or don’t.
all X correct
Make 4 to 7 picks from the slate — nail every one to win the frame. Miss just once and the pot carries to next frame.
How football pools work · Which pool type should your group run
NFL, College Football and MLB straight-pick pools are free for everyone — on their own or combined into one pool. Players Club opens every league and format we run, and the in-app sport picker always shows what's live, what's in season, and what's next.
Commissioner
Built by commissioners, for commissioners — the office pool, the alumni college football pool, the one that has run on the same spreadsheet since 2009. Every chore that used to live in that spreadsheet and a group text is a setting you touch one time. Your pool runs itself — you just talk trash.
Choose from NFL, College Football, Canadian Football League, Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, and English Premier League Soccer — and coming soon, NBA, NHL, College Basketball, and more! Combine multiple leagues into a single pool for more diversity and fun!
Dead simple to set and tally your season dues, in-season and end-of-season prize distribution plus all other options through a step-by-step setup flow. Never miss an important option.
Run full seasons just like the pros, or set up partial seasons and custom timeframes (daily, bi-weekly) that better match with your specific timing. Pooldit opens them, locks them, and tells everyone.
Custom options for each pool type at the week/timeframe level and total season level. Based on years of experience and customer input with all of our pool types.
Lines that update themselves — our own consensus sportsbook api-driven odds for spread games and all markets, and multiple scoring updates per hour.
Draft and send your automated results with a click (coming soon.) Put a question to the pool — "add a Thursday side pool?" Results stay visible to everyone, no vote required to peek.
Pin or delete any message on the chat board of a pool you run.
Free accounts run NFL, College Football and MLB straight-pick pools, on their own or combined into one pool. Everything else is on for everyone through October.
Autopick agents
Set a strategy — favorite, underdog, home, away — and we fill in the blanks before the deadline. Assign one as your backup agent and an empty pick sheet stops being a problem.
Always pick the home or away team. Basic — free.
Follow the market, or fade it, every frame. Basic — free.
Deliberately random, for when you’ve made peace with chaos.
Build your own rules from odds, market type, nextgen league stats, and matchup data. Run three agents at once to get that first, second, and third opinion.
The safety net. If the deadline arrives with picks missing, your backup fills them.
Autopick agents and the custom builder
Every account gets the basic agents. Players Club adds 3 active custom agent instances, with extra 3-packs at $4/month.
Your data
Not just this frame's standings — a career file, measured on two axes: Ditpull tells you how you really stack up against your friends, and unit ROI tells you how you'd have done in Vegas — every unit scored at real sportsbook odds. Underneath: hit rate by league, by market type, by favorite versus underdog, plus league-wide team and matchup data to pick against.
Through October every account accrues the full career file. From Nov 1, cross-pool accrual scored against real sportsbook odds is a Players Club feature; a free account keeps its record in the free straight-pick pools it plays, and you can still play in any pool you're invited to.
Rate your performance across all pools or individual pools. Gain insights on where you and your pick agents pick best.
Pricing
Free for everyone through October — open beta, all features on. From Nov 1: playing in pools stays free forever; commissioners/power users $5/month.
Most pool sites meter the commissioner — per player, per pool, per season, every season. These are free sports pools in the plain sense: free means free — no ads, no per-player fees, no player caps — and we never take a cut of whatever your group plays for.

Playing is free — any pool you're invited to, any format, no cap on invitations. Players Club is for when you want more than a seat at the table: build custom pick agents that fire before every deadline, and get a career record that follows you across every pool you're in — topped by the two numbers that matter: Ditpull, how you really stack up against your friends, and unit ROI, how you'd have done in Vegas. Every unit is scored at real sportsbook odds, exactly as if you'd placed it at the book — without ever risking a cent.

Players Club is a subscription paid to Pooldit. It has nothing to do with what your pool plays for — we never touch that.
No. Pooldit never takes, holds, or moves real money — there is nothing to deposit, nothing to wager here, and nothing to cash out. Pools play for dits, an in-app currency that just keeps score of whatever your group already agreed on in the real world, whether that is bragging rights, jelly beans, soda refills, whatever! Real spreads and odds are shown because they make the picks more interesting and let us grade your performance honestly, not because anything is being staked on this site.
Playing is free — any pool you are invited to, always. Pooldit is in an open beta test right now, so every feature is on for everyone through October and billing has not opened: every button on this site creates a free account today. From November 1, running NFL, College Football and MLB straight-pick pools stays free for commissioners, including pools that combine curated games from those leagues, and Players Club is $5 a month for every league we run, spreads and moneylines and totals, cross-pool stats scored against real sportsbook odds, and the custom agent builder. Cancel anytime.
You send one link. Anyone who opens your pool invite link can preview the pool and join it, and joining is always free — no per-player fee, no charge to the players, and no cut of anything your group plays for. There is nothing to install either; Pooldit runs in the browser on a phone or a laptop. Your players sign in with an email address or with the Google account they already have.
Five formats: PickEm (straight up), Confidence with weighted picks against the spread or straight up, Survivor that thins the field every week, Allowance where everyone gets a budget of nits (the pool’s own play-money currency) to spend across moneylines, spreads and totals, a true sportsbook simulator, and Pick X Parlay, where the commissioner sets a variety of picks and markets to choose from, you make selections and get all X correct, or the pot carries. Leagues built today include NFL, MLB, College Football, Canadian Football League, Major League Soccer, and the English Premier League. The in-app sport picker is the honest, current list — it shows what is playable now, what is dormant until its season opens, and what is still on the roadmap.
One pool that mixes NFL and College Football games instead of running two separate pools. Take the full slate from both leagues, or curate a list of only the games you want — Saturday marquee matchups plus the Sunday afternoon window, say — and everyone picks them on one sheet with one set of standings. Any format works that way: PickEm, Confidence, Survivor, Allowance or Pick X Parlay. It is not limited to football either; you can remix any of the leagues we run into a single pool the same way — survivor is the one exception, and it stays on the NFL and college football.
Setup is a step-by-step flow with a one-click preset, and after that Pooldit runs the pool. It opens each frame, pulls current spreads and odds, locks picks at kickoff, scores games as they go final, updates standings, and keeps a dits ledger of who owes what. Autopick agents fill in for players who miss a deadline. Seasons renew on their own and keep a permanent history of past winners, so the off-season takes care of itself. You set the format, the schedule and the prize split once — nobody needs to keep a spreadsheet, including you.
Pricing and data. Most pool sites meter the commissioner — per player, per pool, per season, every season; Pooldit is free through October and then one flat subscription to create and manage unlimited pools and access historical and league data and features, while joining and playing in any pool is always free, and we never take a cut of what your group plays for. And every pick you make is scored against what chance alone would have produced, so you find out whether you are actually good: Ditpull tells you how you really stack up against your friends, unit ROI tells you how you would have done in Vegas with every unit priced at real sportsbook odds, and drill-ins to each stat give more information and analysis than most sports information sites, all a keystroke away from the heart of Pooldit — making picks against your friends in your pools.
