Moving your pool from OfficeFootballPool? Bring it here.
OfficeFootballPool was acquired by Splash Inc. in 2023 and is being retired after the 2026 NFL season. Its contests are moving to Splash Sports, which is built around real-money entry fees and prize payouts, with entertainment-only contests carrying a one-time service fee.

What Blue Chip Bet is
If your pool was twenty people who know each other, a spreadsheet and a Venmo thread, that is who Blue Chip Bet is for. Private leagues against the spread, college or NFL, with the lines frozen Tuesday, scoring live on game day, and the pot tracked without ever being held. You set the rules once and it runs the season.

Moving takes an afternoon
Send us your roster
Names and emails, in a message or a spreadsheet. We set the league up by hand: competition, buy-in, sheet size, lock rule. Nothing to configure yourself.
Everyone gets a sign-in code
No passwords to hand out. Members sign in with a six-digit code by email and can install the site as an app on their phone.
Pick up from this week
Lines post Tuesday at noon Central. History from another site does not carry over; the season standings start from the week you join. Dues and payouts are tracked from day one.
Questions
When does OfficeFootballPool close?
Splash says the site will be fully retired after the NFL season, with contests moving to Splash Sports. Check their help center for the current date.
We only play pick'em. Do we need real money?
No. Blue Chip Bet has no real-money mode at all. Your league settles up the way it always has.
Does Blue Chip Bet handle money?
No. It tracks who has paid and who is owed, and it never holds or moves money. Real-money contests are exactly what we are not.
Is it against the spread only?
Yes, for now. Every game against the number, win 1, push ½, loss 0. Bowl pools, playoff brackets, Super Bowl squares and survivor are on the way this winter and next season.
Can we run both college and NFL?
Yes. Separate leagues on their own schedules, one sign-in, a switcher in the header.
What does it cost?
Members play free. Small groups are free; larger leagues pay one flat price per season, commissioner pays. The tiers are on the pricing page.
Can our old standings come across?
Not automatically. We can add a note about prior seasons to your league, but the standings and stats start from the week you join.
