Who scores first, who finishes higher, anything with a clear outcome. Write the terms together and upload the evidence when it's done.
Your terms, clear evidence
The money, plainly
No odds. No house. Just you and your rival.
Both players put in the same stake. The money is locked the moment the challenge is accepted, so nobody can back out or spend it elsewhere. Whoever's right takes the pot, minus a 5% platform fee. Lose, and you only lose your stake.

If your reports don't match, or someone goes quiet for 48 hours, an operator reviews the evidence and decides.

FAQ
Good questions
Is this a betting site?
Not in the usual sense. There's no bookmaker setting odds or taking the other side. You challenge another player directly, you both stake the same amount, and the winner takes the pot. SportyWager just holds the stakes and makes sure the result is settled fairly.
How much can I stake?
Any whole amount from ₦500 to ₦50,000 per challenge, within the daily limits you set for yourself.
What does it cost?
Signing up and creating challenges is free. We take 5% of the pot when a challenge settles, paid from the winnings. If a challenge is refunded, there's no fee.
Why do I need to verify my identity?
It confirms every player is a real adult and stops anyone running several accounts to game the system. You only do it once.
What if my rival reports the wrong result?
When the two reports don't match, the challenge goes to an operator, who reviews the evidence you both upload and settles it. Your stake stays locked until then.
Can I play with someone I already know?
Yes. Make the challenge private and share the invite link. Only the person with the link can accept it.
Is it live yet?
SportyWager is in a free beta while we complete licensing. During the beta, money in the app is practice money: you can try every feature without depositing real funds.
