Pay Per Head Alternative for Friend Groups: Skip the Fees
PPH software charges $3–$15 per player per week for infrastructure friend groups don't need. ValueBet provides live lines, chip-based betting, auto-grading, and private clubs at $0. Same competition, zero overhead.
Pay-per-head software solves problems friend groups don't have: agent management, payment processing, risk dashboards. What friend groups actually need is a private platform with live lines, a leaderboard, and auto-grading. That costs $0.
What PPH Gives You (That You Don't Need)
Agent hierarchies, multi-level player management, real-money payment processing, risk exposure tools, and casino integration. These features justify the per-player cost for professional operators. For a group of 15 friends, they're expensive clutter.
What You Actually Need
A private club with an invite code. Live lines for major sports. Chips for competition. A leaderboard. Auto-grading. Multiple contest types. That's it. ValueBet delivers all of it for free.
The Cost Comparison
15 friends on PPH at $7/player/week = $420/month. 15 friends on ValueBet = $0/month. The competitive experience is functionally identical for friend group use cases.
