Splash Sports Alternative: Free Private Contest Hosting
Splash Sports (formerly RunYourPool) is shifting toward real-money gaming with premium pricing and geographic restrictions. ValueBet offers free, chip-based private contests with Pick'em, Survivor, Bankroll, and Squares — legal in all 50 states.
Splash Sports consolidated RunYourPool, OfficeFootballPool, and other pool platforms under one brand, then started pushing toward real-money models. If free, private, chip-based contests are what you want, ValueBet is the alternative.
What Changed with Splash Sports
Splash Sports moved toward monetization through premium features, real-money integrations, and expanded licensing. Hosts who used RunYourPool for free now face feature gates and pricing tiers that didn't exist before the acquisition.
The ValueBet Alternative
Free hosting with no premium paywalls for core features. Chip-based contests legal in all 50 states. Pick'em, Survivor, Bankroll, and Squares in one private club. Auto-grading, real-time leaderboards, and zero per-member fees.
Why Groups Are Switching
No geographic restrictions from real-money licensing. No premium feature gates. Multiple contest types in one club instead of separate tools. Free for hosts and members alike. The value proposition is clear.
