Run Your Pool

What Run Your Pool does

Run Your Pool (DBA: RunYourPool) is a fantasy sports contest platform that enables individual sports enthusiasts and group commissioners to create and manage prediction contests across major U.S. sports leagues including the NFL, NBA, and MLB. The platform supports multiple game formats — Survivor (pick winners weekly, eliminated after first loss), Tiers (rank selections within tiers), and Pick'Em (predict matchup outcomes) — and operates alongside the OfficeFootballPool sub-brand within the Splash Sports portfolio. The product is delivered as a web application (app.splashsports.com) with native iOS and Android applications, and the company pursues a self-serve, product-led growth model with no direct sales team.

Underlying technology is described as a standard web-based contest platform with mobile clients; no proprietary technical components, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in the source data. Distribution is fully self-serve through app stores and the web, augmented by an active organic social presence on X, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram, plus a community-led Discord strategy. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed — pricing details are explicitly marked as not publicly available — and the company shows no funding history, no headcount, and no management team information in the supplied data.

The customer base consists of sports contest players and commissioners organizing pools among friends, colleagues, and online communities. The company has invested in responsible-gaming infrastructure through a partnership with Birches Health, including a dedicated helpline and email support, and maintains separate U.S. and Canada terms of use, suggesting at least early compliance buildout for North American regulated markets. Operational signals (active apps, social channels, legal pages, and customer support) indicate an ongoing operating platform rather than a shuttered or declining business.

Direct peers

• PrizePicks: PrizePicks is a leading daily fantasy operator focused on player-prop pick'em contests across major US sports leagues. It competes head-to-head with RunYourPool's Pick'Em and similar prize-based prediction formats.
• Underdog Fantasy: Underdog offers Best Ball, Pick'em, and survivor-style contests to US sports fans via mobile apps. It directly competes in the same paid fantasy contest formats (especially Pick'Em and survivor) targeted at similar sports-enthusiast users.
• MyFantasyLeague: MyFantasyLeague is a long-standing commissioner-style fantasy football hosting platform with customizable league rules. It competes for the same commissioner-and-league-manager user base that RunYourPool targets.
• OfficeFootballPool: OfficeFootballPool is a sister sub-brand within Splash Sports' portfolio, focused on office football prediction pools. It targets the same commissioner-driven office league segment as RunYourPool's survivor and pick'em offerings.
• Sleeper: Sleeper provides mobile-first season-long fantasy leagues plus pick'em-style contests for NFL, NBA, and other US sports. It is closely comparable in its mobile-first, social/community-led approach to sports contest hosting.
• Splash Sports: Splash Sports is the parent platform of RunYourPool and offers the same Survivor, Tiers, and Pick'Em contest formats under unified web and mobile apps. It is the most directly comparable operator as RunYourPool is effectively a sub-brand within the same product stack.

Broad incumbents

• FanDuel: FanDuel is a top-tier DFS and sportsbook operator offering free and paid contests across major US sports. It overlaps with RunYourPool's contest offerings but operates as a broad incumbent with integrated sports betting.
• DraftKings: DraftKings is a leading publicly traded DFS and sportsbook operator offering a wide range of contest formats including pick'em and survivor variants. It competes broadly in the same paid fantasy contest space but at vastly greater scale and capital intensity.
• ESPN Fantasy: ESPN Fantasy is a major incumbent providing free fantasy leagues and pick'em games tied to its sports media brand. It competes with RunYourPool for casual pool players, though it is embedded in a much broader media ecosystem.
• Yahoo Fantasy Sports: Yahoo Fantasy is a broad incumbent offering free season-long fantasy leagues and pick'em contests across NFL, NBA, MLB, and more. It overlaps with RunYourPool on contest formats but operates as part of a much larger portal/media business.
