When you sign up, we store your email, display name, password (hashed, never in plain text), and optionally a profile picture you upload. We also store the picks, predictions, and chat messages you make while using the site, along with your Wager Points activity (balance and parlay history) — see the Terms page for what Wager Points are.
If you submit feedback or a suggestion through the site, we store the message, the page you submitted it from, and — if you were signed in — your account. If you weren't signed in, providing an email address is optional and only used if we need to follow up with you about what you sent.
We use a small number of first-party cookies needed to run the site: one to keep you signed in, one to remember a light/dark theme choice you make in Settings, and one to remember your time zone so kickoff times display correctly. None of these are used to track you across other websites. See the Ads section below for the separate, third-party cookies Google AdSense may set.
The theme cookie is directly under your control — change it anytime from Settings. The time zone cookie is set automatically from your browser and isn't user-editable in the app; it corrects itself if it ever mismatches your device. Both, along with the sign-in cookie, can be cleared at any time through your browser's own cookie/site-data settings — doing so will sign you out and reset your theme and time zone to their automatic defaults on your next visit.
Account emails — password resets and league invites you send — are delivered through Resend, our email provider. If you leave feedback and include your email, we may use it to reply to you directly, not through an automated email. We only send transactional email related to your use of the Services; we don't send marketing email.
We also send pick reminders through Resend: an email when a week opens for picks and another about a day before the next kickoff, only if you haven't made any picks for that week yet. To decide whether to send one, we look at whether you've made picks that week and which sports you play. Reminders are on by default. Turn them off anytime under Notification Center in Settings, or with the unsubscribe link in any reminder email.
Other signed-in players can find you by your display name to send a friend request; nobody becomes your friend unless you accept, and you can remove a friend at any time. Calls you make are private unless you choose otherwise: you can show a call to your friends, or to one of your leagues (optionally posting it in that league's chat). Whoever you show it to sees the games, the line, and the odds — not how much you staked — along with how many people rode or faded it. You can also share a call by link (by text, for example): anyone with that link sees the same details and your display name, and can ride or fade it once they have an account, even if the call is otherwise private. Only share a link with people you want to see the call.
This site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services for details.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
Google's ad script loads for signed-out visitors too, so Google can verify the site; ad units themselves only appear for signed-in players. If you have Premium (or the legacy one-time ad-removal purchase), the script doesn't load at all and ads stop showing on your account entirely.
Premium is a $3/month recurring subscription billed and processed directly by Stripe. We never see or store your card details — we only keep a record of your subscription status and billing period, plus a transaction record (a Stripe session/payment id, amount, and date) for receipts and support. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime from Stripe's billing portal, linked from Settings.
A small number of accounts instead have a one-time, non-subscription $3 purchase made before Premium existed — the same payment-data handling applies to it.
Game schedules, scores, and stats come from balldontlie.io and The Odds API. This site is unaffiliated with, and not endorsed or sponsored by, the NFL, the NCAA, any school, conference, or team, and the data shown is unofficial.
