How this works 📜

🎲 What DareToBet is

A private scoreboard for arguments between friends. You ask a question, everyone locks in a guess, and when the answer is known the app works out who called it and splits the pot between them.

DareToBet records private bets and calculates numerical game results. Values shown in the app have no defined monetary value.

🔢 The numbers

A bet carries a stake — a plain number you choose. Every player puts the same number in, the pot is the total, and the winners split it equally. Your net result is what you won minus what you staked.

That's the whole calculation. The app tracks these numbers across your bets so there's a running record of who is actually any good, and it does nothing else with them.

🔒 Guesses are final

Once you lock a guess in, it can't be edited or withdrawn — otherwise a sealed guess is just a draft, and anyone who spots a hint could quietly improve their answer. Guesses stay hidden until they close, then all of them are revealed at once so everyone can watch the outcome together.

Table talk is different: you can say whatever you like, whenever you like.

🏠 It's for your own circle

Bets are private. They're visible to the people invited to them, and nothing is publicly listed, browsable or searchable. Your statistics only ever count bets you personally took part in — you can't browse strangers, and strangers can't browse you.

DareToBet takes no cut and sells no odds. The pot is always exactly what the players put in, split between whoever was right.

🧽 Numbers aren't the only option

Every bet can be played for a forfeit (the loser washes the car, buys the coffee, does the dishes) or for pure pride, with nothing on the line but the scoreboard. Honestly, those are the better games.

🎂 Grown-ups only

DareToBet is for people aged 18 or over, and it's meant to be fun. If it ever stops being fun, that's your signal to stop — in Switzerland, free and confidential help is at sos-spielsucht.ch.
