Stake.Football is the new way to bet on football: peer-to-peer, private, and fair. Instead of relying on a bookmaker, anyone can host their own match by creating a private book. The host sets the odds, minimum and maximum stake limits, and a kickoff time, then shares a simple invite link with friends and players. Every match runs as a transparent 1X2 market: Home win, Draw, or Away win.
Players can join with one click, review the match details, select their outcome, and place a bet within the posted limits. Stakes are locked instantly to keep funds secure, and bets remain open until one minute before kickoff. After kickoff, betting closes automatically. Once the game finishes, the host declares the result and settles the book instantly crediting winnings, debiting losses, or releasing funds if the match is voided.
For hosts, the system guarantees fairness and security. Your wallet locks the maximum liability for each bet, ensuring payouts are always covered. If a player wins, their profit is paid directly from your locked funds; if they lose, you keep their stake minus the 1% rake. Hosts cannot bet on their own books, and books cannot be closed if active bets exist. All results are final once settled, providing clarity and trust for everyone involved.
Stake.Football handles timing seamlessly across the globe. You enter kickoff in your local time, but the system stores it in UTC and enforces the betting cutoffs server-side. This ensures every participant sees the correct local time on their device, while the system maintains strict fairness in the background.
Every bet and settlement is recorded in a clear ledger, giving players a transparent history of their bets and profit/loss, while hosts see full book records and total performance. With easy invite links, automatic wallet updates, and strict safety rules enforced by the platform, Stake.Football makes sports betting simple, social, and fair.
