Where would we be without our group chats? If you and your mates mostly use yours to catch up on all things footie, there’s a new social bookie app on the block that you should definitely have on your radar.
If you’ve not heard of the app before, it essentially makes it easier for you and your mates to place bets on upcoming games - and it's currently giving away £20 in free bets for new users.
It also gives users the opportunity to to make picks and build accumulator bets together, giving players boosted odds every time they place a group bet.
So, if you fancy rounding up your mates to take advantage of it, here’s everything you need to know, as well as where to download the app and how it all works.
How does it work?
With a 'WhatsApp-style' group chat helping you to gather your team in one place, this is where you make betting selections together, making it a lot easier for everyone to do both things on the one screen.
Let's just say, you won't need to worry about frantically sending over screenshots of the best odds or the bets that you've made anymore.
Even though you'll be part of a group, with this feature, you can still choose your own individual stake amounts, if you’d prefer.
However, the more players that join the bet, the higher the odds will be boosted. Then the winnings are doled out based on the stake amount.
Plus, players can cash out individually whenever they want without impacting the rest of the group's bet.
Fancy giving it a go? New customers can get £20 in free bets when they bet just £10, and that includes £10 of free group bets, so you can give the feature a trial run for yourselves.
And if your pals aren’t as into football as you are, the app has even created a dedicated Football Group for fans to connect with fellow fans, allowing them to discuss the week’s top games, make their picks and share bets.
With hundreds of members already, all you need to do is type in the code FOOTY on the app to join.
