ChooseASquare vs Sleeper

A gambling-free home for group pools and fundraisers — Survivor, Pick’Em, Confidence, squares and season-long drafts from one link, where you keep 100% of the pot.

Start free →See all contest types

Sleeper is a polished fantasy app, but its Sleeper Picks product is a paid, real-money prediction game (availability and rules vary by state), and Sleeper has no way to run a fundraiser or keep the pot within your own group. ChooseASquare is built for the other job: running a pool or a fundraiser for your team, office, school or friends — Survivor, Pick’Em, Confidence, squares, calendar and club fundraisers, and season-long drafts — with zero betting, one shareable link, and every dollar going straight to you or your cause. Here is how they compare.

No real-money picks or betting

ChooseASquare has no sportsbook and no paid prediction product. It’s built for friendly pools and fundraisers, so there are no real-money upsells and nothing that varies by state.

Run it as a fundraiser

Set an organizer cut, give sellers their own links and leaderboards, track a goal, and let winners donate back — turn any Survivor, Pick’Em or squares pool into a fundraiser for your program.

💵

Keep 100%, pay each other directly

You collect via Venmo, PayPal, CashApp, check or cash — ChooseASquare never holds the money and never takes a cut, so the whole pot stays in your group or goes to your cause.

FAQ

Switching, answered

Is ChooseASquare a gambling app like Sleeper Picks?
No. ChooseASquare has no sportsbook and no real-money prediction product. It’s software for running friendly pools and fundraisers — you set the entry price (which can be $0), players pay you directly, and there are no betting promotions.
Can I run a fantasy draft like I do on Sleeper?
Yes — the Draft Room runs a live snake draft or a budget auction for the real NFL or MLB roster (or any list of names), with keepers and weekly auto-scoring from real box scores. It’s aimed at running a league or fundraiser for your group rather than replacing a hardcore dynasty platform.
What can ChooseASquare do that Sleeper can’t?
Run Survivor, Pick’Em, Confidence and squares pools, calendar and club fundraisers — and turn any of them into a fundraiser with an organizer cut, seller tools, goals and donate-back, keeping 100% of the pot.
Do players need to install an app?
No. Everyone joins from one shareable link on their phone — no app store download and no accounts to wrangle. (ChooseASquare is also installable as a web app if you want an icon on your home screen.)
