Escrow, not trust
Entry fees sit in our escrow until settlement. Winners get paid automatically — no chasing the host, no DMs, no Venmo IOUs.
create a pool
run your own contest against the slate.
You set the rules — sport, scoring, entry fee, deadline. We hold the escrow, run the leaderboard, and pay the winners after settlement. Zero chasing.
Auth still lives on the legacy host. Once it lands on pbg.network the form moves inline — this URL stays the same.
how pools work
four guarantees, every contest.
Three scoring modes
Most correct, highest units, or survivor. Pick the rule that fits the room — survivor for the long haul, units for size-up nights.
Custom roster size
Set max entries, picks per entry, and the deadline. Lock the pool early or let it ride until kickoff — your call.
Public leaderboard
Everyone sees the same standings in real time. Players see their rank, paid payouts, and tiebreaker rules — no shadows.
the flow
four steps from idea to settled.

We use Discord OAuth so the room recognizes who's hosting.
Configure

Share the link
Drop it in your group chat. The pool auto-locks at the deadline.
Settle + pay
Once every leg grades, the leaderboard freezes and winners get paid into their balance.
