your group chat deserves stakes. GroupStakes turns your friend group into a private prediction league. one of you is the commissioner: you post the questions ("will kyle be late friday?"), everyone backs a side with points, and the commissioner settles what actually happened. the leaderboard remembers everything. — private leagues, invite code only. nobody outside the group ever sees your markets. — post a market on anything: the group trip, the 10K, whether the sourdough survives. — back your call with points and watch the crowd move the price. — the commissioner rules. literally. settlements, payouts, the final word. — a season runs 90 days. standings, records, receipts. points only — they can't be bought, cashed out, transferred, or traded for anything. the stakes are pride. starting a league costs $14.99, one time, and it's yours forever. everyone you invite plays free.
