How it works

Three taps. That's it.

1

Pick a side

Yes or no on tonight's match, Bitcoin this week, who wins the election. The % is the crowd's chance, and you always see what $10 would win.

Yes 88%No 13%
2

Watch it with your people

See what your friends and the best callers picked. Back them in one tap, or fade them and take the other side. Chat about it in your crew.

3

Get your receipt

When it settles, your call lands on your record, right or wrong. Nothing gets deleted, so your record means something.

The social bit

Better with your people.

Bookies make you bet alone. On Backd you can see what your friends and the best callers picked, back them or go against them, and keep score together.

Friends on every pick

Next to every market you see who's in, which side and at what price. Follow people and their calls show up in your feed.

Back or fade

Back a call from someone you trust at today's price. Fade it when you think they've got it wrong.

Crews

Start a crew with your mates: a private table, a group chat, and a running score of who actually knows their stuff.

Receipts

Every settled call gets a receipt you can share. Your record is public and verified from the live price at the moment you called it.

Where your money goes

Back it where it's allowed.

Backd never holds your money. Every backed call is an order on Polymarket, paid from a wallet only you control, at the same price as on Polymarket. Polymarket collects Backd's 1% fee; Backd charges nothing else.

Where you are (US): Backing goes through Polymarket from inside Backd; there's no separate link-out.
Backing isn't available everywhere: it depends on where Polymarket and local rules allow it. The call panel tells you before you put anything in. Where it isn't available, you can follow people, watch their calls and run a crew, but not back a call, and we never help anyone get around that.

Quick answers.

The full guide
Does it cost anything?

Backd charges 1% of the stake when an order fills, collected by Polymarket. There's no charge for signing up, following, crews, leaderboards or the API.

Where do the prices come from?

From Polymarket, live. When you make a call we record the price at that exact moment on our server, so nobody can edit their entry after the fact.

Can I put real money on it?

That's the point.You add money to your own Polymarket wallet, and every call you back is a real position. Backing isn't available everywhere: it depends on where Polymarket and local rules allow it. The call panel tells you before you put anything in. We won't help anyone around that.

What does 58% mean?

It's the crowd's chance: the price people are paying right now. Prefer decimal, fractional or American odds? Switch the format in the footer and every price on Backd follows. If you're wrong you lose only what you put on.

Do I need to know anything about crypto?

Not much. You need a wallet app (such as MetaMask or Phantom) to hold your money, and set-up walks you through it. After that everything is shown in plain money and percentages.

Who can join?

Anyone 18 or over. You confirm your age when you sign up.
