What is BroThrow? How does it work? BroThrow is a free peer-to-peer sports betting platform where you compete directly against other bettors instead of against “the house.” Rather than charging fees on every bet you make, BroThrow earns revenue if you choose to subscribe to our PRO features, delivering you the fairest way to bet on sports. We provide the platform; you create, accept, and track bets directly with other ID-verified BroThrow community members. To maximize your cost savings compared to betting through a traditional sportsbook, you settle up directly with your opponents. Why use BroThrow instead of a sportsbook? If you like saving money and having a fair chance at winning, you’ll love BroThrow. Betting through a traditional sportsbook is expensive: sportsbooks charge a 10-20% premium on EVERY BET you make. We believe betting $10 to win $10 is the way it should be, not $11 or $12 to win $10. What markets does BroThrow offer? We offer pre-game spreads, totals, and moneylines across most major sports including football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, golf, UFC, and boxing. For big events like the Super Bowl, we also offer live betting on these markets at halftime. Where is BroThrow available? BroThrow is available to users 21+ across the US, except in the following states: CO, KS.

Bankroll U is the ultimate skill-building app for sports picking, with two ways to play: BATTLES: Free multiplayer competitions against real players. Everyone starts equal, and the sharpest picks take the Purse. CHALLENGES: Pass the Combine to earn a Pro Bankroll, then climb four Pro Levels for performance bonuses at every level you clear. Why do pilots, surgeons, and traders train on simulators before doing the real thing? Because it would be INSANE not to! Bankroll U believes sports picking should be no different. Enter a Bankroll Challenge and you get a virtual bankroll and a state-of-the-art sports market simulator with real-time markets and live odds. Hit the Combine's Profit Target and Activity Target inside two weeks and you'll earn a FREE Pro Bankroll. No purchase, no upgrade, performance only. There are four Pro Levels: Rookie, Veteran, All Star, and Legend. Each with a bigger performance bonus than the last. Clear a level's targets and a cash bonus worth 10%, 20%, 40%, or 80% of the profit you generated in that level drops straight into your Prize Wallet. You NEVER stake a Pro Bankroll with your own money. Virtual losses stay virtual. Real performance earns real cash. Think you can outpick the competition? Prove it in Battles, our FREE head-to-head competitions against real players. Everyone starts equal, everyone picks from the same Battle Slate, and the sharpest picks take the Purse, credited straight to your Prize Wallet. No purchase required, ever. Just you, your picks, and the leaderboard. We're here to help every step of the way. Every Combine entry also comes with Tuition Points, the in-app credits that unlock our development content and tools. Spend them in Campus on in-depth courses that take you from the fundamentals to sharpening your edge, or on picks and insights from our Playmakers, the pro handicappers who show you exactly how they think about each pick. Learn in Campus. Compete in Battles. Prove your skills in the Combine. Earn cash bonuses in the Pro Levels. Stop watching from the sidelines and take control with Bankroll U!
