Bring your foursome's favorite side bets — Skins, Nassau, Wolf, Vegas, 4-Ball, Match Play, 9-Point, Bingo Bango Bongo, Stableford, Scramble, Foursomes, Greensomes, 6/6/6, Trash/Junks — into one scorecard, and let the app settle who owes who.

Junks too. (iOS 26+) • Big, tappable score buttons for fast entry. • Hole-by-hole scoreboards for every game — see exactly which Skins hole carried over, or watch a Vegas birdie flip the numbers. • Junks (greenies, sandies, polies, barkies, arnies, chip-ins) tracked per hole with one tap. • Wolf with Lone Wolf and Blind Wolf bonus multipliers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SidePot Golf at none against Banker's shown. Banker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
