How does it work?

Looking for a fund raising activity that's both fun and efficient? Why not run a pool! Keep reading to know more.

Setup receiving funds

The first thing you'll need is an account with our secure online payment provider, Stripe. This will allow you to receive your funds in a secure way. Learn more about our secure payments



Create your pool

Choose a sporting event (ex. hockey playoffs, soccer world cup, etc) among those available and create your pool for this event by specifying its name, the entry price and rules (for instance, how are ties broken in the standings). Footory does not manage prizes for winner(s).

 What is a pool?

Share your pool

Your pool will have its own web page on Footory that you can share with members of your group and on social networks. Each person willing to join your pool can do so by purchasing an entry on that web page. An entry allows its owner to make predictions for the different stages of the selected sporting event.

 Sporting events examples

Cash In

Each time someone buys an entry, they pay online directly on Footory. Your cut (75% of the entry cost you configured on your pool) is immediately transferred to your Stripe account (see step 1). The funds will then be payed out to your bank account by Stripe. You basically have nothing to do to get your funds!

Follow up with your pool

Footory takes care of updating sporting events results so you don't have to do it.

If your pool is on the pro tier, its standings is automatically updated. You and every participant gets an email notification.

If your pool is on the free tier, you will get an email notification every time your pool's standings can be updated. You will then have to login to your pool's admin page and trigger an update. Once triggered, the new standings for your pool will automatically be computed and you and every participant will get an email notification.

Almost over

When the sporting event is over, your pool will have one last update so that the final standings will be known. Footory does not manage rewqards for winner(s).
