FINALLY a way to easily organize some of my favorite styles of sports games for real money and play for bigger prizes. Really cool and much needed product
Love the variety in season long and weekly games. All the commissioner designs are very cool and distinctive. Beautiful user experience with intuitive game play.
The app works great for PGA one and done and tiers. Not having to collect money at the beginning of the year has been such a relief. Can’t wait to move my nfl [contests] to Splash this fall
Really like how the format is unique compared to other DFS apps and how there’s no sims or optimizers making it a much more level playing field for causals and experienced players alike. Looking forward to the NFL survivor contests this year!
I can’t believe how cool this is, it saves me so much time and stress for hosting my friends in our various leagues! Also amazing to see how quickly building they put out new updates, making improvements and fixing issues is what I love to see. Splash > every other way to play
The most fun and engaging betting app I’ve come across!
Splash has been a great Up & Comer in the industry, and has really impressed me with their simple, yet effective design. Deposits and withdrawals have been flawless, and they offer a lot of exciting new opportunities to play Survivor, Pick’Em, and Tiers. I’ve been most impressed with their PGA One & Done game mode, and am certainly looking forward to more of those contests soon. Customer service has been top notch, and I believe Splash is well on their way up the ranks. Very impressed!
Love the splash PGA tiers and survivor contests. Great product that all my friends battle on.
Simple design. Easy to use. Variety of contests/[games] to enter.
