WHAT IS WINSYNC: WinSync is the simplest and fastest way to run skill-based contests between friends. Create a private contest, set the prize, invite your group, and compete. When it's over, participants vote on the winner, and the winner gets paid out instantly to their debit card. No chasing payments. No arguments over who owes what. No group chat accounting. Built for secure and repeated play. HOW IT WORKS: 1) Create a private contest. Name it, set the prize, and share the invite code with your friends. 2) Everyone pays in up front. The prize pool is funded before the contest starts. 3) Compete in real life. Pickup basketball, trivia night, gym challenges, darts, golf, video games, or anything else you can agree on. 4) Vote on the winner. Once the contest ends, participants confirm the winner through in-app voting. 5) Winner gets paid out. The full prize pool is sent directly to the winner's debit card via push-to-card payout. WHAT WINSYNC IS NOT: WinSync is not a sportsbook or casino. There are no odds, no lines, and no house. WinSync is a neutral platform for skill-based competitions between people who know each other. Outcomes are determined entirely by participants. WinSync does not influence or decide who wins. WHY USE WINSYNC: Friendly contests are more fun when there's something on the line, but the worst part has always been collecting afterward. Someone forgets. Someone ghosts the payment request. Someone insists they didn't lose. WinSync removes all of that by having everyone pay in before the contest starts and automatically routing the prize pool to the confirmed winner. You don't have to chase anyone. You don't have to argue. You just play. CONTEST TYPES: WinSync works for any skill-based competition you and your friends can clearly define. Examples include: - Pickup sports (basketball, soccer, football) - Bar games (darts, pool, shuffleboard) - Trivia nights - Fitness and gym challenges - Golf and bowling - Video game tournaments - Cooking and skill-based dares If you can define what winning looks like, you can run it on WinSync. TRANSPARENT AND AUDITABLE: Every contest has a full audit trail. Entry fees, votes, payouts, and any disputes are logged and timestamped. If a disagreement comes up, WinSync has a built-in dispute process where participants can submit evidence and reach a resolution. PAYMENTS AND PAYOUTS: Entry fees are processed when you join a contest. Winners receive their full prize pool via push-to-card payout, sent directly to a verified debit card. Payouts are initiated immediately after winner confirmation. WinSync charges a transparent platform fee on top of the entry fee so winners always receive 100% of the prize pool. ELIGIBILITY: WinSync is available in Wisconsin, New York, and Massachusetts. More states coming soon. To use WinSync you must: - Be 18 years or older - Complete identity verification (KYC) before entering a paid contest or receiving a payout - Be physically located in a supported state WHY WE BUILT WINSYNC: WinSync is built by a small team obsessed with making peer-to-peer competitions secure and functional. Compliance, fraud protection, and payout reliability are taken seriously and built in from the start. QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK: We read every email. For questions, feedback, or any other inquiries, contact support@winsync.app Stop chasing your friends for money. Make the contest official.
