Grid turns live sports into real-time prediction contests you play with everyone else watching. As the game unfolds, quick Yes/No questions appear on your screen. Will the next drive end in a touchdown? Will Steph hit a three in the next two minutes? Lock in your answer before the timer runs out, watch it resolve live as the play happens, and climb the leaderboard against fans across the country. Everyone gets the same question at the same moment. You’re not playing alone on a private screen. You’re playing with the crowd, in real time, as it happens. ▸ HOW IT WORKS Join a live contest, answer prompts as the action unfolds, and build a streak with every correct call. The longer your streak, the bigger your payout. Cash out whenever you want, or keep riding it for the chance at a bigger prize. ▸ DESIGNED FOR EVERY FAN No odds, no point spreads, no betting knowledge required. If you can watch the game, you can play. Every contest is a fresh chance to climb the rankings. ▸ SOCIAL AND COMPETITIVE Play alongside friends, chat during contests, and compete on private leaderboards throughout every live event. ▸ REAL-TIME RESULTS Every question is powered by live game data and resolves automatically the moment the play concludes. Fast, transparent, seamless. ▸ TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Practice Contests: Play free with Grid Coins to sharpen your skills and compete casually. • Prize Contests: Enter eligible contests for the chance to win Grid Cash, redeemable for real-world prizes. ▸ NO PURCHASE NECESSARY Claim free Grid Cash daily through in-app rewards, no purchase required.
