Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use Betting on the Wedding at my wedding?

Yes — and thousands of newlyweds will back us up! Couples say it was one of the most fun, talked-about parts of their celebration. Guests get more involved in the big moments, interact with each other more, and it adds a unique twist that keeps the whole night buzzing. Instead of a reception that feels routine, Betting on the Wedding creates an experience everyone remembers.I am Getting married.

I’m getting married. How do I manage my event?

You’ll create your event, choose your bets, and share it with guests. On the big day, you’ll have plenty going on, so we built a Co-Organizer feature that lets you assign a trusted guest to close bets and track winners while you enjoy every moment.

Will this distract from the actual wedding?

Not at all, it actually makes guests pay more attention. In our surveys, 87% of couples said their guests were more engaged in the big moments when using Betting on the Wedding. Instead of scrolling Instagram or texting, people are tuned into the speeches, dances, and fun surprises because they’re invested in the outcomes. Couples tell us the app actually helps create more laughter, cheering, and shared memories.

  • Printable QR Code – Make it easy for guests to join by displaying a sign, placard, or insert.

  • Premium Support - We answer any questions directly to make your experience seamless.

With Premium, everyone plays for free, and you get the best experience possible.

Can I use Betting on the Wedding without Premium?

Yes, you can create a free event limited to 5 guests and 5 bets. This is good for small groups of friends placing side bets at a wedding. But most couples upgrade because it makes it simple (and way more fun) to include all guests without worrying about limits.

What kinds of bets can we create?

We’ve got you covered with a library of over 50 popular pre-made bets (like “Will the groom cry when the bride walks down the aisle?”). But you can also create custom bets with up to five answer choices, so your wedding’s inside jokes and unique traditions can get in on the fun too.

Is there a limit to the number of guests I can invite?

Nope! Once you unlock Premium, our app can handle weddings of any size. The more people who join, the more fun (and hilarious) the competition gets.

Is Betting on the Wedding easy for guests to use?

Yes! Guests join by scanning a QR code or clicking a link you share. No complicated setup. Our data shows most people are in and placing bets in under two minutes.

Do guests need to download the app?

Yes, but it’s super quick. When guests click your event link or scan your QR code, they’ll be taken straight to the App Store or Google Play to download the app for free. Once it’s installed, the link automatically opens your event so they don’t have to search or type anything in. It’s a seamless “click, download, join” experience.

Do guests win real money?

Yes, but it happens outside the app. Betting on the Wedding keeps track of all the bets and winners, but guests settle up directly with each other using their preferred payment method (like Venmo, PayPal, or cash). Some couples keep it light with small stakes, others make it a bigger pot — it’s totally up to your group. The app handles the fun and fairness, you handle the payouts however you like. And of course, many couples choose the “just for fun” option where it’s all about bragging rights and laughs.

What happens at the end of the event?

When the last bet is called, the app automatically wraps everything up — no action needed from the couple or organizer. Guests get a notification showing:

  • Who they owe

  • How much they owe

  • A link to the winner’s preferred payment method (like Venmo or PayPal)

They’ll also see the final leaderboard with everyone’s answers and standings. It’s a seamless finish that keeps the energy going as guests laugh, settle up, and relive the best moments together.

Why doesn’t settling happen in the app?

Our research shows guests don’t want to pull out a credit card or enter payment info into yet another platform on wedding day, they’d rather just use what they already know, like Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, or cash. Keeping payouts outside the app also keeps things simple and flexible for everyone, without adding extra layers of rules or complexity. The result: you get all the fun of betting, none of the hassle.
