Frequently Asked Questions

What is NFL Pools?

NFL Pools is a prediction platform for the 2026 NFL season. Users can join weekly pick'em pools, make predictions on game outcomes, and compete on the leaderboard.

Does the platform handle real money?

No. The platform does not process any real financial transactions. All payments are handled offline between participants and pool administrators. The platform tracks entries and payouts internally.

How do I join a pool?

Browse the available pools on the Pools page, select a matchup, pick your team, and submit a purchase request. An administrator will approve your entry after verifying payment offline.

What is the prediction pool / stock-ledger mode?

In prediction pools, ticket prices change dynamically based on demand — similar to a stock market. Buying early at a lower price gives you better returns if your team wins.

How are payouts calculated?

Payouts depend on the pool type and configuration set by the admin. Fixed pools may use winner-take-all or proportional split. Prediction pools reward early buyers with higher returns.

Is this gambling?

This platform is designed as a skill-based prediction contest. However, laws vary by jurisdiction. Please ensure participation is legal in your area.
