BugLines is the fastest way to bet on what you're watching on TV. Point your phone at any TV showing a game. BugLines reads the score bug, identifies the matchup in seconds, and puts the live odds on screen. Tap the card and you land in your sportsbook on the exact game. No searching, no scrolling, no fumbling through today's slate to find the one you're already watching. HOW IT WORKS - Aim your iPhone at the score graphic on the screen. - BugLines uses on-device computer vision to identify the matchup. - For tougher reads (logo-only score bugs, low-contrast graphics), zoom in tight and tap "Scan the score bug." A deeper detection layer takes one closer look. - With a subscription, the card fills in with live odds. Tap it to deep-link into FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, Kalshi, or Polymarket on the exact game. WHERE THE ODDS COME FROM Six books at launch. On the sportsbook side: FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, and Caesars. On the prediction-market side: Kalshi and Polymarket US, CFTC-regulated exchanges where contracts trade between people rather than against a house. Because they price differently, an exchange and a sportsbook often disagree on the same game. BugLines shows you both. LEAGUES SUPPORTED AT LAUNCH NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, EPL, NCAA Men's Basketball, NCAA Women's Basketball, NCAA Football. PRO TIER: LINE SHOPPING Long-press any odds card to compare every book on that game side by side, sportsbooks and prediction markets together. The price isn't the same everywhere, and even small differences add up over a season. PRIVACY-LIGHT BY DESIGN No accounts. No name, email, or phone number required. No advertising identifiers. No analytics SDK. No cross-app tracking. We don't sell your data. We don't have any data to sell.

NOT A SPORTSBOOK OR EXCHANGE BugLines does not accept wagers, execute trades, hold funds, or process payments.
