Yes, RunYourPool, OfficeFootballPool, and Splash Sports are all owned and operated by Splash, Inc. Whereas RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool allow you to host and play in pools for entertainment purposes only, Splash Sports allows you to play against your friends and the community for real money. Splash Sports is currently live in 39 states.

Splash Sports is currently live in most states across the US - your eligibility to play will vary depending on where you are located when you are entering a contest and the game format of the contest. Please visit our website for current information on supported locations and game types.

Please note: eligibility to play is based on your physical location when you create or enter a contest. For example, a player who resides in Nevada, where play is prohibited by law, may travel to Utah, where play is legal, and enter a contest. Once a player enters a contest from a legitimate location, they can make their picks from anywhere and remain in the contest until its conclusion.

By law, we need to know your physical location to determine your eligibility to play with real money, as it varies depending on where you are located and the game type. You can share your location via your browser's site settings or your device's location settings if you are using a mobile device. For more information on how to share your location, click here.

The main difference between a pool and a contest is that pools can only be run for entertainment - no money can be exchanged. They are considered “games of chance,” and it's illegal to collect and distribute money for games of chance without a gambling operator's license.

Contests on Splash Sports are considered “games of skill,” where your strategy skills and knowledge of sports are the dominant factors impacting your outcome. Games of skill can be played for real money in many jurisdictions, and Splash Sports Commissioners can legally host real-money contests for their groups across most of the United States.

Eligibility to play varies by location and game format. Please visit our website for current information on supported locations and game types.

You are not required to convert your pool to a real-money contest on Splash Sports, but it is highly recommended if you intend to play with real money. As a reminder, pools on RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool are strictly for entertainment purposes only. It is prohibited by law (and our Terms of Service) to collect entry fees or pay out prize monies for a pool.

This means you cannot accept entry fees, tips, or any other form of direct or indirect monetary compensation from the participants in your pool in connection with their participation and cannot make any payments or distribute funds to any of the participants in your pool in connection with their placement or winning of the game.

When you convert your pool to a real-money contest on Splash Sports, you are effectively creating a new game instance: your existing pool will continue to be available on the entertainment-only platform where it was first created, whether it was RunYourPool or OfficeFootballPool.

Whereas RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool charge a fee per participant each time a pool is run, SplashSports takes a 10% platform fee on entry payments processed in exchange for secure entry fee collection and completely automated prize money payouts.
