Know something?
Back it.
Make calls on what happens in sport, crypto, politics, geopolitics and culture. Follow the people who get it right. Every call is recorded at the live price, so your record is real.
What do you reckon?
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.
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.
Get your receipt
When it settles, your call lands on your record, right or wrong. Nothing gets deleted, so your record means something.
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.
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.
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.
People who actually

Quick answers.
The full guideDoes 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.
