How DigiFlip works

No jargon. If you've ever put a dollar in a football pool at the office, you already know 90% of this.

The idea, in one sentence

People put a little DGB (the DigiByte coin) behind a yes or no guess about something that hasn't happened yet. When the real answer comes in, the people who guessed right split the DGB from the people who guessed wrong.

A kitchen-table example

The question: "Will it rain on Saturday?"

• Alice puts $10 on YES.
• Bob puts $30 on YES.
• Carol puts $40 on NO.

Saturday rolls around. It rains. Alice and Bob get their own money back and split Carol's $40 between them — in the same proportion they put in. Carol's guess was wrong, so her $40 went to the people who got it right.

DigiFlip does the exact same thing, but with DGB instead of dollars, and with a website keeping track instead of a notebook.

The one fee

DigiFlip takes 5% of the losing pile when a market is decided. That's the only money the site makes. No fee to deposit, no fee to win, no fee to withdraw.

How to get started, in 3 steps

If something isn't decided fairly

If a question is ambiguous or the event just doesn't happen, the market is refunded — everyone gets their stake back, no fee. If you think a resolved market was decided wrong, every market has a Flag resolution button for 24 hours after it closes.

Only put in what you can afford to lose

Prediction markets are real money and good guesses can lose. Treat it like the $10 you'd throw into a March Madness office pool, not like your rent money. See our Terms for the full rules.
