Why "Sportsball"?
The word "sportsball" started as a playful way for non-sports fans to poke fun at athletic culture. But we've reclaimed it — because we believe sports should be fun for everyone, whether you know the difference between a tight end and a wide receiver or not.

How is Sportsball different on mobile from legacy office-pool software?
Sportsball is built mobile-first, so the pool actually works in the phone browser the way your group uses it in the room. The experience has no in-game advertising, and you are not funneled through the repeated cookie, tracking, and privacy modals that many older office-pool and pool-hosting sites add on every visit. The flow is open the link, make picks or claim a square, follow the live board—where legacy tools often still feel like desktop software squeezed into a small screen.
