Question 1

What is an offer?

Accepted Answer

An offer is a bet where you set the terms. You pick a fixture, back a side, and choose how much cash goes on each side. For example, you lock $50 on Arsenal to win and ask for $45 against. Anyone on Poll can take the other side, in one go or in pieces, until the offer is fully matched or the game kicks off. A normal Poll bet splits a pot between everyone who joins. An offer is you against whoever takes it. Only matched cash reaches settlement, so any part nobody takes comes back to you. Open Explore and switch to the Offers tab to see what is open, or read the full guide at /features/offers.

Question 2

How do I post an offer?

Accepted Answer

Open Explore and switch to the Offers tab, then tap Create. 1) Pick a fixture from the list. Offers cover football, basketball and rugby fixtures with an official result. 2) Choose the side you are backing. 3) Set the cash you lock and the cash you want against it. Poll shows what a taker would be paid and flags the terms as unusual if one side puts up far more than the other. 4) Confirm. Your cash is locked when the offer is posted. Takers can fill it from that moment until kick-off. You can close the offer early from its details; anything unmatched comes back to you.

Question 3

How does taking an offer work?

Accepted Answer

Open an offer from the Offers tab or from a shared link. You see the fixture, both sides, the cash still open and what you are paid if you win. Enter the amount you want to put on the other side and tap Place. You can take part of an offer: a $45 slot can be filled by one person or by several people. Each offer has a minimum take and a per-person limit, both shown on the amount screen. If your balance is short, Place opens the funding flow so you can add money and come back. If you are not signed in, you can still review the offer and enter an amount; Poll asks you to sign in when you place. Your cash is locked when the take goes through and the offer updates for everyone.

Question 4

How are offers settled and what is the fee?

Accepted Answer

Offers settle from the official final score of the fixture, not a vote. When the result is in, each matched slot pays out on its own: the losing side's cash goes to the winning side, less a fee on the winnings. The fee never touches your stake and the exact payout is shown as 'Paid if you win' before you place. If a fixture is postponed, abandoned or cannot be resolved, the offer is voided and every matched slot is returned in full. Unmatched cash is returned when the offer closes. Settled offers move to the Results view in the Offers tab with the score and the payout for each side.

Question 5

How do I share an offer?

Accepted Answer

Open the offer and use Share in its details. The link opens the offer with a preview card that shows the fixture, both sides and how much is still open, so it works in iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram and on X. Whoever opens it can review the offer and take a slot, and is asked to sign in only when they place. From a Poll chat, you can send an offer straight into the thread so the group sees both sides in place.

Set your own terms. Someone takes the other side.
