BETTING THE WAY
IT SHOULD BE.

BWF is the peer-to-peer wagering platform that cuts out the sportsbook entirely — no juice, no house edge, no taking bets against you. Just friends competing on fair terms, with automated escrow and real bank settlements.

// About BWF

THE COMPANY

BWF (Bet With Friends) is a Chicago-based technology platform that enables users to place real-money wagers directly with each other on sports outcomes — with no sportsbook in the middle.

The platform functions as a digital escrow ledger: user funds never commingle with company funds, and BWF never takes a position in any wager. The result is a genuinely fair betting experience — where a traditional sportsbook charges -110 on both sides (forcing bettors to risk $110 to win $100), BWF users agree on their own terms and pay only a flat platform fee, regardless of outcome.

BWF is available on iOS and Android, with ACH deposits and withdrawals via PayPal. Designed for the 100 million Americans who bet casually with friends and are tired of losing to the book before the game starts.

HOW IT WORKS

01
Deposit
Fund your BWF wallet via ACH. Held under your own balance — never commingled.
02
Challenge
Propose a wager to a friend or accept one. Both sides agree terms — no house odds imposed.
03
Escrow
Funds held in escrow for the wager's duration. BWF never touches the money.
04
Settle
Outcome confirmed. Escrow releases to winner. Withdrawal goes to their verified bank only.
// Key Feature

THE SOCIAL FEED

Like Venmo for sports bets — BWF's public activity feed shows who's winning, who's losing, and lets users celebrate or trash-talk in real time. The bragging rights layer that keeps bettors engaged between wagers.
