NFL survivor pool
Run every week of your pool as its own private cash bet. Your group keeps the pick sheet. The stake sits onchain and pays out the moment you agree on the result.
No pick tracking, no schedule feed. You write the question and choose who settles it.

Settled on a group vote. Someone goes out was right, and two of the twelve were knocked out.

Illustrative questions and amounts. Poll does not import the NFL schedule, scores, or your pick sheet.
Setting up a week
A week takes about a minute to set up. You can create a bet and share the invite link before the first game kicks off.
01
One question with two clear sides, so there is nothing to argue about on Sunday night.
02
Everyone still alive puts in the same amount. A private bet is reachable only through the link you send.
03
Paste it in the pool chat. Whoever is still alive can stake. Whoever is out does not.
Who does what
Your pool already works. The spreadsheet, the pick deadline, the no-repeat rule: keep all of it exactly where it is.
Where the money sits
Funds are held in secure, non-custodial wallets on Solana. The Poll team cannot access or move your money. Settlement happens onchain, so anyone in the bet can check it themselves.
Read more about how Poll secures your funds, or what Poll charges.
Everyone in the week's bet votes on which side was right once the games are final.
How voting worksWhoever set the week up makes the call. Useful when your pool already has a commissioner.
How to create a betEveryone gets their full stake back with no fee. Nobody has to sort out a refund by hand.
Ties and cancellationsYou choose the result method when you create the week. Poll settles from the result your pool confirms and does not promise a specific settlement time.
Before you start
What Poll does with the money, what it deliberately leaves to your pool, and what it costs.
No. Poll does not hold your pick sheet, the schedule, or the no-repeat rule. Keep those wherever your pool already keeps them, then run each week's stake as a private bet on Poll.
Poll bets are two-sided, so each bet pays the side that was right rather than one named person. Most groups run each week as its own bet, then settle the final call together once it is down to the last survivor.
You choose when you create the bet. Group vote lets everyone in the bet vote on the result. Creator resolution leaves the call to whoever set the week up.
Yes. Make the bet private and it is reachable only through the invite link you share. Public bets appear in the Poll feed, private ones do not.
Funds are held in secure, non-custodial wallets on Solana. The Poll team cannot access or move your money. Every settlement happens onchain, so you can check any transaction yourself.
Ties and cancelled bets refund every participant in full with no fee. You can cancel before anyone else has staked, and after that the bet locks so nobody can change the terms.
Deposits are free. Poll takes a small percentage from winning payouts only. Withdrawals cost $1 to $2. Ties and cancelled bets carry no fee at all.
Cash is the plain label for the amount you stake. The balance and settlement asset in Poll wallets is USDC.
No. This page describes one way friends use Poll. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the National Football League or any of its teams.
