About

Sportwize is a social betting app that lets users challenge their friends with simulated bets on the sports they love. Unlike traditional sports-betting apps, Sportwize isnt about putting money at risk; instead, it makes it quick, easy, and fun for users to do what they already do bet on their favorite sports with their friends. Sportwize users simply pick one or more contacts from their phone to challenge. Users can play for fun, add a forfeit, or set prizes to suit the people playing. Once the challenge has started, users get live updates of in-game events and are able to chat with each otherfrom a single screen. Users scores, prizes, and challenges are all saved in their virtual wallet.
