The best part about of BetU is the ability to bet against people you already know. Head to the “Friends” tab, search for friends by name, and click “Add Friend” to send them a friend request - just like any social network. Once they accept, you’re ready to start betting together. You can also sync your contacts in your phone to see who's already on BetU!

Placing a Bet

Placing a bet on BetU is as fast and easy. Head over to the “Games” tab to browse available games from all the top leagues. Then pick a side and choose an opponent from your list of friends. Next, enter the amount you want to wager (don't forget: with BetU there are no fees and no 'juice' on any bets - period!). Finally, confirm the bet details and propose it to your friend - they'll instantly receive a notification saying "___ bet U!" (get it??), and can accept or reject it. It's that easy!

Chats and 'Group Chat Bets'

BetU takes your chats and group chats to the next level. From the “Chat” tab, simply start a conversation with just like you would on any messaging app. Create group chats just as easily with as many friends as you'd like, and personalize the group with a catchy name and photo.

Best of all: with BetU's patented 'Group Chat Bets' feature you can place bets directly in the group chat for anyone to accept - first come first served! What better way to tell your friends (and rivals) to "put your money where your mouth is" than by responding to trash talk with a real live bet!
