## What is Matched?

Matched is a savings layer on top of the betting you already do. Every bet you place automatically funds your Matched Savings — and we add 1% on top in real cash. Win or lose. Withdraw anytime.

Connect your sportsbooks — read-only. We never touch your bets, tell you what to bet, or replace your book. We just make the smart move automatic and pay you for it.

THE MATCH — Every bet funds your savings, automatically. We add 1% on top, in real dollars you can withdraw. You don't change how you bet, and you don't bet more.

KNOW YOUR NUMBERS. NO MYSTERIES. — See your net position across every sportsbook, updated automatically. Track your performance by sport, by team, by platform. Everything denominated, specific, and checkable to the dollar.

SIZE YOUR BETS. RUN YOUR SYSTEM. — Set your unit — one standard stake, the number a system runs on. Track your bet-sizing adherence. Consistent sizing is the mark of a smart bettor, and Matched rewards it.

Matched (Layup, Inc.) is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by nbkc bank, Member FDIC. Matched is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple Inc.

### 1/5 — Past its peak, counterintuitive

*2026-01-23, version 0.18.16*

This app was really strong and an amazing concept, but unfortunately, they got rid of their best features. Which is fine- that’s what companies do as they evolve. But what irked me was their complete lack of transparency and dodging the questions anytime they were asked. Like the team would literally respond to other comments around ones made pertaining to the change. Very discouraging from a former, great team and concept idea.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-11-24, version 0.18.2*

So while the concept is good and doesn’t cost to play if you refer, the customer support is complete trash!!! They don’t respond in a timely manner at all!! They are a waste of time I literally been waiting on my money to be redeemed and I have been having issues and no one will help me!!! Don’t waste your time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Payouts

*2025-09-18, version 0.17.6*

Having trouble with the new pay system. Missing my rewards for one of the games I won. They should really be on top of things.

### 5/5 — Rating review

*2025-07-21, version 0.15.10*

I really love this app an I would recommend it to anyone

### 1/5 — It’s a scam. Don’t download

*2025-07-19, version 0.15.10*

It used to be a fun app to win money and less complicated payout. Now it’s gotten worse, asking for your banking information, taking away the easy payout method, and unhelpful customer service. If you care about saving money, don’t play this game.

### 1/5 — idiotic

*2025-07-18, version 0.15.10*

An app for idiots. You get 3 pick parlays with very bad odds every day. you have to hit like 4 times or more in a week in order to win anything. per my experience, that was never ever gonna happen. i got like 1 parlay to hit ALL TIME over multiple weeks of having the app. Risk reward here is idiotic, this is all risk, the last app that I had like this became a casino (Yotta) so be realistic with this.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2025-06-25, version 0.15.7*

You might win one time first off but it’s a waste of money to spend anything on this app, they pick your picks for you and they usually all fail, including the extra picks they give you, so after you cash out 25 dollars delete this freaking app.. I would curse but it would probably get taken down so just trust me this app is not worth it 110 percent

### 5/5 — Layup name- bball37

*2025-06-14, version 0.15.7*

This app is honestly amazing no doubt, 25$ referral boost just for someone signing up, and on top u never lose money ! You only gain!!Every one tap into these promotions before there gone!

### 5/5 — Pretty awesome app!

*2025-06-11*

I’ve had layup for a few weeks now. At first I was skeptical, but figured, what the heck, it couldn’t hurt. I’ve seen many people withdrawal large sums, not me, but I was able to withdraw $25 and don’t have to spend anything so I’m not complaining!

### 2/5 — Solid idea but uninspiring

*2025-06-11*

The formatting of the app is inherently counterintuitive to the point of betting: fast money. The parlays given are 3 leggers, so in theory you already only have a 1/8 chance to win, but the actual chance is significantly lower. Say you finally win, your payout is…. One cent. As in $0.01. But don’t worry, if you hit two in a week you get…. $0.02. The idea here is to encourage deposits, so if you (for some reason) decided to put $500 in the app, you’re now able to make…. $0.10 if you hit one and $0.50 for two. Mathematically you will never get above 4 or so in a week. I see the vision, truly mean it when I say that, but it’s uninspiring as a betting app because it’s counter to everything daily fantasy sports is. You’re much better off using Fliff, Rebet, Thrillz etc., a harsh reality but who knows, maybe things will change over time.
