Scam

They do not allow you to withdraw, either withdrawal method (card or bank) results in a transaction declined message before you can even input your info. Support will tell you that your address doesn’t match the bank (even though it never even let me put in my bank info) and to call their payment processor, but calling them doesn’t help with anything.

Great Support Team

Very helpful support team, easy to play, good concept.

Interesting app

One thing I really like about this app is that you can place bets against your friends. So when you lose it’s like eh at least my friend got the money and ofc it’s fun. The ui in the app is pretty good and the customer service is top tier. You get the ability to talk to the co-founders of the app and they are very friendly. Definitely recommend!!!

Great app!!

Great app and very intuitive, had some learning curves but very much enjoy the app!

Good old fashioned winning

You basically compete head to head with your buddy’s and randoms. Gotta think smarter than just “hitting” a prop since the value is different depending on over/unders. Lots of fun

Update

Got my account going app seems cool support seems great will prolly try the app out here soon. I like the idea of pvp so well see


A tab to filter by game


Wait i can "real" parlays (lol) but over single over base same player? THATS a GAME CHANGER.


Test ran a free contest went 3/3 took an L... Which wasnt the part that bothered me. His picks were slightly harder than my baseball play... So he got more points he won... Fair. The head to head payout that resembles fantasy apps like fanduel seems ok but the contests seem too taxed. 20$ on a 10$ pick 3 is just way too low... The rake and the payout is the same... Rake is way too high on these contests... If it was 8 people winner take all at x6 and 20$ rake then wed be cooking. Honestly should be like 8 people contest pay out x6.5 15$ rake.... X6.5 beats competitors market u can miss one and win 6.5x people will play.. I know i would.

Support

Their format is different from other picks apps. You make your picks then compete against one other person. If you prefer a competitive aspect you might like it. What I can say is that their support is great. Liam solved my issue quickly and professionally.

Great way to win

A great way to get in the game. You can win money even with one or two losing picks in your slip! Peer to Peer betting is the future and this Sportsbook has an excellent user interface and superb customer service.

Idk

They been deciding for a week if my passport is real or not idk lol but my I’d verification been waiting for cool minute now never had this issue before not sure why parlaye taking forever…

Response from developer

We totally understand how frustrating the delay must’ve been, and we really appreciate your patience. Our ID verification process usually takes just 1–2 minutes, but in rare cases, like yours, our team needs to manually review some of the submitted info to confirm eligibility. We’re pretty confident we know who wrote this and are really glad we were able to get everything sorted after confirming a few details. Thanks again for bearing with us — we’re hyped to have you on Parlaye and hope everything runs smooth from here on out! 🙌 If you ever need anything else, just hit us up directly.

Interesting concept

It’s peer to peer matchups so whoevers parlay gets the highest score wins the money. Only downside is you can’t withdraw until you’ve played through all your money

Highly recommend

Clean interface. Peer to peer so we won’t be limited. Highly recommend.

Future of DFS

One of the only apps that doesn’t limit you! Great fluid app, a TON of options, definitely on the same level or better than PrizePicks & UnderDog!

Waste of time don’t bother

App has been a headache since the start. Matchups often have some of the same players. Payouts arent great either. 1.8x isnt worth the trouble. Cant withdraw contacted support they were no help. Plenty of other better apps to play on

they don't allow you to withdraw

You would think this would be a top priority, but it's not. Deposits work fine, but I have yet been able to withdraw my funds, and is been over a month. Do yourself a favor and don't use this app until they can figure things out.

Impossible to match

Takes hours to find an opponent and when you do they will have the exact same slip as you because the only people using this are OddsJam users. So you will both push & lose 20% to VIG/Juice. Not worth the effort.

Horrible

Payouts are bad and lines are horrible. Won’t even let you withdrawal either. Line is just a complete scam and not even a good one

kinda wish i could withdraw my initial deposit

1.8x multiplier on a potential 3-leg parlay is crazy

Impossible to find opponents

So this isn’t your typical Dfs app. You go against someone else’s parlay and the winner takes it all. Problem is there is no one on this app. I haven’t found any challengers yet after two hours. Keep that in my mind because your money will probably stay in here for a bit.

Fun concept, too much juice

The mechanics of this app are entirely unique and I like it. I’ll start by saying you never actually make a parlay, it’s better described as a lineup of straight wagers. The premise is that you make a 3-man lineup with no-vig odds. So SGA’s o/u 29.5 might be listed as 220/183 points instead of 2.2x/1.83x or +120/-120. Anyways, your 3 wagers are pit against someone else’s completely different lineup. The winner is decided by whoever makes the most points. Another way to describe it is all 6 bets put up an equal amount of Monopoly money, and whoever’s lineup profits the most wins the real-money bet.

Barrier to entry 4/5 - the app is free to play, although not very fun. It’s fundamentally the same as real money wagering, but there aren’t even any fake money stakes. This is still great for poking around trying to understand. The mechanics aren’t explained the best, but it’s tough when you only use 1 picture. This review explains it better but most people can’t be bothered to read this much.

UI 5/5 - dark mode design, simple search bar that works (although misspellings aren’t accounted for), straightforward to use.

Playerbase 3/5 - the most common complaint is a small playerbase. The app is new! Given time I think this platform can grow. That being said, if you can’t get your lineups matched with another person, you can’t play. I made a dozen free lineups and they ended up all getting matched by some guy with 12 duplicate lineups the next day.

House edge 2/5 - when you win, you receive a 1.8x payout which is a 10% fee on every matchup. That’s a lot given there is 0 risk to the house. For comparison, betting exchanges usually charge a 3% fee. I’d be happy with a 1.9x. And for this sole reason, I won’t be using this app. I imagine startup costs are high and it’s typical for casinos to charge higher rake on games when they first open. If you still want to play, it’s not the worst. An underdog fantasy 6-man flex slip runs about a 30% house edge so Parlaye is great compared to that.

In conclusion, I won’t be playing because of the high vig, but I do hope to see this platform flourish as it’s a lower risk platform than other DFS sites
