Pick'em turns your group chat into a season-long competition. Everyone in your league gets the same slate each week. You pick spreads, totals and moneylines against real odds and submit before kickoff — about a minute's work. When the games end, the picks grade themselves. No spreadsheet. No commissioner doing math on Monday morning. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a league. Choose a sport and a format, build the ballot and the scoring, then send a join code to the group chat. Change any of it later. 2. Make your picks. Spreads, totals and moneylines on the week's slate, with one lock for extra points if your league plays it. 3. Watch it grade. Final scores land, points post to a live leaderboard, and the weekly recap tells everyone who blew it. THREE WAYS TO PLAY Pick'em — everyone gets the same ballot and the best score wins. Most leagues also run a Lock of the Week, where one pick a week carries multiplied points. Survivor — one straight-up winner a week, never the same team twice. Lose and you're out, unless your league plays with extra lives. Last one standing takes it. Sportsbook — everyone starts with the same balance of points and puts points behind each pick. Winners come back at real odds, parlays run from two to ten legs, and the standings rank on who grew their pile the most, not who picked the most winners. Run a survivor pool alongside a pick'em league and everyone plays both at once. THE COMMISSIONER SETS THE RULES How many picks are on the ballot and which types are on it. What each slot is worth, so a tough underdog can pay three times a chalk moneyline. Whether Lock of the Week is on and what the multiplier is. Starting balance and stake limits in sportsbook leagues. How many survivor lives everyone gets. Pushes score half rather than nothing, each pick locks at its own kickoff, and level scores break to whoever picked the biggest underdog that came in. MORE THAN THE BALLOT - Somebody wins every week. Top score takes the week and keeps the badge for it, so a season is a stack of chances to win something rather than one. - Achievements, awarded the moment picks grade. On Fire for three weeks running. Contrarian King for winning with a pick almost nobody made. And the ones nobody wants: Sheep, for following the league into a loss, and Perfectly Wrong. - Weekly recaps. Who took the week, what every pick did, and the trends across the league — ready without anyone having to write it. - Your own numbers. Win, loss and push records split by pick type, plus how often your lock actually lands. Most people find out they're far better at one kind of pick than they assumed, and far worse at another. - Team stats. Every team's record against the spread, pooled across every league on the app. - League chat sits beside the standings, so the trash talk lives next to the evidence. Direct messages too. - Reminders before picks lock, by push and by email, so the person who always forgets is out of excuses. SPORTS Pro football, college football, pro basketball and college hoops. Each league is tied to one sport, and you can be in as many leagues as you like — a work league, a college one, and the group chat you can't leave — switching between them from the lobby. WHAT IT ISN'T Pick'em is not a sportsbook, including the format called Sportsbook. Nothing in the app can be bought and nothing can be won. Points have no value outside your league: they cannot be purchased, deposited, withdrawn, transferred, or exchanged for anything at all. Real odds and point spreads appear because they are the fairest way to price a pick — a scoring mechanism, not an invitation. The app is free. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads. ## Key features - Season-long group competitions - Pick spreads, totals, and moneylines - Automatic pick grading - Live leaderboards - Customizable league rules - Achievements and weekly recaps - Integrated league chat ## Recent user reviews (1 of 1) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pickem-fantasy-gambling/id6758223458/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Great app for fantasy leagues!! *2026-08-27* This app has been great for the upcoming NFL season!!

Pick'em supports professional football, college football, and professional basketball. The app allows commissioners to customize the ballot with various pick types for these sports. ### How does Pick'em handle scoring and grading? Picks are graded automatically after games conclude, with final scores and points posted to a live leaderboard. The app provides weekly recaps detailing performance without manual calculation. ### Can I customize the rules in my Pick'em league? Yes, commissioners have extensive control over league rules. This includes the number and type of picks, scoring for each slot, the use of 'Lock of the Week' multipliers, and starting balances for sportsbook leagues. ### Does Pick'em have ads? No, Pick'em does not contain advertisements. The app is free to download and use, focusing on the competition experience without ad interruptions. ### What are the different ways to play in Pick'em? Pick'em offers three main modes: 'Pick'em' where the best score wins; 'Survivor' where one winner is chosen weekly without repeating teams; and 'Sportsbook' where users bet points on picks against real odds. ### How does Pick'em compare to other fantasy sports apps? Pick'em focuses on direct competition within group chats, offering automated grading and social features like integrated chat and trash talk. It emphasizes season-long achievements and weekly wins rather than just overall season performance. ### What is the age rating for Pick'em? Pick'em is rated for users aged 17 and older. This is likely due to the gambling and betting themes present in the application's gameplay. ### How often is Pick'em updated? The app was last updated on September 1, 2026, with version 1.2. This indicates a recent update, suggesting ongoing development and maintenance. ## Version history (last 3 releases) ### 1.2 — 2026-09-01 - One top bar instead of the sidebar, with the five destinations your league actually uses - Home opens with your rank and record - Last week's winner gets a real card — photo, margin, streak - Stats leads with your season, plus a week-by-week win rate chart - Disabled tabs now tell you why instead of ignoring you - Clearer wording on locked picks and moneylines - Bigger tap targets on small links - Reconnecting no longer reloads the page -a guided tour of how the app works, shown once to every player. Submitting picks and creating or joining a league now have animations too. ### 1.1 — 2026-08-28 Public leagues are open, 50-player leagues you can join straight from the lobby — no invite code, no password, no waiting on a commissioner to let you in and when one fills, the next one opens on its own, so there is always a seat somewhere. Browse them from Public Leagues in the lobby: each card shows how full it is (31/50), and Rules opens the exact scoring, deadlines and bankroll settings that league will play by, before you commit to it rather than after. Leagues that are already full collapse behind a toggle instead of vanishing, so you can still see how close a pool is to spawning its next one, and members of a full league can still find their way back into it. The weekly champion framing is the point: a new winner every week means joining in November is not joining something you have already lost. Nobody runs a public league. They have no commissioner, because there is nobody who could fairly be handed the power to remove 49 strangers or rewrite the scoring halfway through a season; the settings are fixed when the league is created and stay that way. There is no chat and no direct messages in them either, and that is deliberate rather than unfinished: 50 people who have never met is not the room a group chat is built for, and the safest version of it is the one that does not exist. The Chat tab stays visible and shows as locked rather than disappearing — a tab that vanishes reads as a bug, a locked one reads as a rule — and tapping it says so. This is enforced in the database, not just hidden in the app, so it holds regardless of what any client tries to send. Custom profile photos are off in public leagues too, for the same reason: an avatar is the one thing 50 strangers can put in front of each other without typing a word. You can still set a display name for the league, and still use a trophy you have actually won as your picture — the things you earned travel with you, the things you uploaded do not. Your leagues list marks these with a PUBLIC badge so a public league is never mistaken for one your friends set up, and drops the season from the name — while it is the only season on screen, "NFL Pick'em #2" is the useful half of "NFL Pick'em 2026 #2". At the end of a season a public league is archived rather than deleted: it stops accepting picks, still shows in your lobby marked as ended, and next season's replacement opens alongside it, so your history stays where you left it. Also the header and footer will now be hidden when scrolling down and show back up when scrolling back up for more room to make picks. ### 1.0 — 2026-08-23 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
