They’re back!
Pools have returned to PlayNow Sports with a new look for an enhanced player experience.
New to playing Pools?
Pools is almost like a bracket-style bet, in that players make selections without any odds attached. Players bet on the outcomes of a set number of events within each individual pool.
With a minimum bet of $5 and high jackpot amounts, Pools are an easy and exciting way to bet on sports!
Pools can be created for just about anything available to be wagered on, including NHL, NFL, NBA and MLB Games – even award shows and the US Presidential Election.
What’s New
The Pools menu at PlayNow Sports has a new look designed for a more convenient player experience. Each available Pool is easily accessible at the top of the menu.
The Pools page has all the necessary tools you need to track your tickets with one simple click. Check out past results, winners, and track your tickets before, during and after the event you’re playing.
Plus, everything you need to play Pools is available using the PlayNow Sportsbook on your mobile device.
How to Play
Let’s get you started on playing pools
- Log in to your account or sign up to PlayNow Sports.
- Select the Pool you want to play. PlayNow Sports offers Pools for a variety of major sporting league and popular culture events, and those will be included in the Main Menu section once they’re available.
- Make your picks!
- You can make all the selections on your own, or use the Quick Pick function, which will automatically make selections for you.
- You don’t have to keep it to just one pick per event in a pool – you can make a combo pick (two or more selections for one event in a pool) but this will raise the cost of your ticket.
- There are a limited number of combo picks available for players. A notification will appear just above your ticket once you have reached the maximum stake amount.
Prize pool amount
Each Pool starts with a set prize pool and can grow prior to closing if the sales amount exceeds the initial jackpot.
A Rollover prize pool can be set at $10,000 and roll over to the following week if there are no winners. If a rollover occurs, and sales for the pool surpass the $10,000 prize pool, the prize pool will grow until the pool closes.
A $10 prize pool could grow to $15,000, $20,000 or even $30,000 depending on the amount of times a pool rolls over and the amount of players participating.

The Winners section is available in the top navigation bar and list the winners for each recent Pool.
When only one individual wins a Pool, their first name and last initial will be displayed underneath the Winner column. If there are multiple winners for a Pool, it will show the total number of winning tickets for that Pool.
This section also lists the Pool won, and the prize amount won by the player or players.
My Tickets
Log in to PlayNow to access the My Tickets section.
Here, you can view all your tickets purchased within the select time period, which you can adjust using the drop-down menu.
The My Tickets section shows the Pools you are playing, the jackpot amount, each individual ticket price, and the status of each Pool.
