HOW PARLAYMINT WORKS

One parlay. One pick from each player.

Whether you join a Public Parlay or play with friends in a private group, each participant contributes one pick. Together, those picks become a single group parlay that everyone follows through settlement.

01 OPEN
02 LOCK PREVIEW
03 LIVE
04 SETTLED

One shared parlay from setup through settlement.

HOW IT WORKS AT A GLANCE

Five steps. One shared parlay.

Five steps explain the experience. Four states define the parlay lifecycle.

01
JOIN

Join the parlay.

Join a Public Parlay or participate with members of a private Parlay Pals group.

02
PICK

Contribute one pick.

Each participant contributes exactly one pick to the shared parlay.

03
REVIEW

Review it together.

During Lock Preview, everyone sees the completed parlay and countdown before picks lock.

04
LIVE

Follow the same parlay.

Once LIVE, the parlay is locked and everyone follows the same submitted picks as they resolve.

05
SETTLE

Settle based on the picks.

Winning players receive their full buy-in back. Players with losing picks split Parlaymint’s take.

ONE SHARED LIFECYCLE

OPEN → LOCK PREVIEW → LIVE → SETTLED

STEP 01 · CHOOSE HOW TO PLAY

Public parlay or private group.
Same shared structure.

Start with an open Public Parlay or play with people you choose inside a private Parlay Pals group. Either way, each participant contributes one pick to the same parlay.

01
PRIVATE GROUP

Play with people you choose.

Create or join a private Parlay Pals group with people you know. Once inside the group, members can build parlays together whenever they choose.

EXAMPLE

You create a private football group and invite four friends. Once everyone joins, the group can build new parlays together whenever you are ready.

02
PUBLIC PARLAY

Join an open parlay.

Browse available Public Parlays, choose one with an open spot, and join without first creating a private group.

EXAMPLE

You find an NFL Public Parlay with an open spot, join it, and contribute your one pick to the shared parlay.

WHAT STAYS THE SAME

How you join can change. The parlay structure does not.

One pick per participant, one completed parlay to review, and one shared experience through settlement.

STEP 02 · CONTRIBUTE YOUR PICK

One person. One pick.
One shared parlay.

Each participant contributes exactly one pick. As picks are added, everyone can see the shared parlay take shape before it moves to Lock Preview.

02
ONE SHARED VIEW

Everyone sees the parlay take shape.

As participants submit their picks, the shared parlay updates with the selections and relevant parlay details.

WHEN EVERY PICK IS IN

The parlay is complete. Next comes Lock Preview.

Everyone gets the same completed parlay to review before picks lock and the parlay becomes LIVE.

STEP 03 · LOCK PREVIEW

Everyone sees the same completed parlay before it goes LIVE.

Once every required pick is submitted, Lock Preview begins. Every participant reviews the same completed parlay and the same countdown before picks lock.

02
IF SOMETHING CHANGES

The parlay can reopen before LIVE.

If a participant leaves during Lock Preview or a submitted pick becomes unavailable, the parlay reopens so the change can be resolved.

01
Lock Preview begins

Everyone reviews the completed parlay.

02
A participant leaves or a pick becomes unavailable

The completed parlay can no longer proceed as shown.

03
The parlay reopens

The group resolves the change before continuing.

04
A new Lock Preview begins

Everyone reviews the updated parlay before it can become LIVE.

THE PURPOSE

Review first. Lock second.

Nothing locks until everyone has had the same review period.

See the countdown, notifications, reopen behavior, and other Lock Preview rules in more detail.

STEP 04 · LIVE

The picks are locked.
Now everyone follows the same parlay.

Once Lock Preview ends and validation passes, the parlay becomes LIVE. No one can join, leave, or change a pick while the parlay is LIVE.

02
FOLLOW TOGETHER

Every pick gives the group something to follow.

Each participant contributed one leg, so every result affects the same shared parlay.

01
Games begin

The parlay is LIVE and the group follows its submitted picks.

02
Picks resolve

Individual legs are marked as their outcomes become known.

03
Everyone sees the same result

The group can see which picks won, lost, or pushed.

04
Settlement follows

Once the required outcomes are resolved, the parlay moves to settlement.

WHILE THE PARLAY IS LIVE

One parlay. Every pick matters.

Each result moves the same shared parlay closer to settlement.

STEP 05 · SETTLEMENT

Winning players get their full buy-in back.
Players with losing picks share the cost.

Every participant funds the full buy-in upfront. After settlement, winning players receive their full buy-in back, while players with losing picks split Parlaymint’s take.

02
LOSING PICKS

Players with losing picks split Parlaymint’s take.

After settlement, the cost is allocated among the players whose picks lost.

EXAMPLE
Buy-in $20
Your pick LOSS
Your result Share of Parlaymint’s take
IF EVERYONE WINS Parlaymint pays the group.

If every pick wins, Parlaymint pays out at market-comparable sportsbook odds.

IF A PICK PUSHES The pushed pick is removed.

A pushed pick is removed from the liability calculation.

ONLY LOSERS PAY

Everyone funds the buy-in upfront. Only losing players pay after settlement.

Settlement reflects the outcome of each participant’s pick: winning players receive their full buy-in back, while players with losing picks split Parlaymint’s take.
