  • Collective pool: Contributions combine into a single bankroll.
  • Professional management: We construct & place all tickets.

How Pool Payouts Work

Read Terms & Conditions ↗

Commission & distribution

  • Minimum buy‑in (multi‑race pods): $100
  • Commission: 30% of winning pools for admin & estimated taxes
  • Distribution: Remaining 70% paid out pro‑rata by contribution share
Your payout formula:
Your payout = (Your contribution ÷ Total pool) × 70% × Gross winnings

No commission on losing pools. Individual tax obligations vary; participants are responsible for reporting gambling income.

Jackpot Days vs. Mandatory Payout Days

Jackpot (normal carryover)

Big pot grows until a single unique perfect ticket hits. If multiple tickets hit, only a daily share pays; the carryover rolls.

  • Targeted when value overlays exist in smaller fields
  • Carryover can snowball across days

Mandatory payout

Track must pay the entire carryover that day. All perfect tickets split the full pot. Liquidity spikes; edges can be large.

  • Great for deeper coverage with larger pools
  • We often assemble bigger pods here
