What is a Head-to-Head Challenge?

BettorEdge Head-to-Head (H2H) Challenges let you compete directly against specific friends or users on sporting events without the high fees charged by traditional sportsbooks. These personalized betting challenges offer automated settlement, historical tracking of your rivalry, and a more social betting experience.

H2H Challenges on BettorEdge take social betting to the next level by allowing you to create custom betting matchups with specific users (all with no fees on H2H Challenges). Unlike regular marketplace betting where you're matched with any user taking the opposite position, H2H Challenges let you choose exactly who you want to bet against.

• No Fees/Vig: Bet directly against friends as H2H Challenges offer to fees
• Automated Settlement: Winnings are automatically credited to your account when the event concludes—no more chasing friends for payment
• Historical Tracking: Keep a record of your betting history against specific friends to track your ongoing rivalry
• Social Experience: Add a friendly competitive element to watching sports together
