Simple Pik is the easiest way to pik winners with your friends, family, coworkers and fans. Every game in the leagues you follow lives on one slate. Tap who wins, and that pik counts everywhere: on the worldwide board, in every group you're in, and against every host. No odds. No sportsbooks. No cash-out. Just simple piks, live results, streaks and real bragging rights. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your leagues: NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and more. 2. Tap a team on the game card to make your pik. Piks lock at kickoff. 3. Sweat it live: scores, the crowd split and your streak update all game long. 4. Climb the boards: your groups, the worldwide ranks and the week's awards. ONE SLATE Swipe through big game cards. See who the crowd is on, watch live scores, and jump to "All games" to pik the whole week. RIVALS Challenge a friend who picked the other side of any game. Both piks lock, the winner gets the point, and the loser gets egged. Keep a head-to-head record with everyone you play. STREAKS Every right pik keeps your streak alive. Go Full Slate for +3, put a Clutch Pik on the game you're surest of, and use Skip Passes and Streak Shields to save a run. GROUPS Start a group for your crew, office, bar or fantasy league and get a real leaderboard for the week, the month and the season. Your first group is free for up to 10 people. Need more room? Crew holds 25, League holds 50, and a Club has no limit. TALK YO ISH Every game has its own comment thread, and group chat sits right next to the board. Send Chat Plays like Sweep, Heater and Ice cold when your friends hit or miss. FEATURED HOSTS Play along with, or against, athletes, creators and communities, and see if you can beat the host. PLAYOFF MODE Series piks and a champion pik when the postseason starts. SHARE THE SWEAT Turn your piks, sweats and big calls into share cards, and send your profile link to anyone, no app needed. WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITIES See today's piks on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and follow your rival and Clutch games live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. INVITE FRIENDS Invite friends and earn Clutch Tokens and Streak Shields when they play. Simple Pik is built for sports fans who want the competition without the stress of betting apps. Points only, never money. Simple piks. Real bragging rights. Club is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly through your Apple ID. It renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
