How games and settling up work

TeeRival is a golf scorekeeping app. Its games are simulated: the app scores the formats golfers already play (Skins, Nassau, Wolf, Banker and more) and shows the totals the group agreed on. TeeRival is not a gambling operator.

TeeRival keeps score. That is all.

Golfers have played Skins, Nassau and Wolf with friends for generations, keeping track on a scorecard. TeeRival does the same scorekeeping on a phone. It calculates each game from the strokes players enter and shows the result for each player.

What TeeRival never does

  • Never accepts, places or takes wagers.
  • Never accepts, holds, transfers or collects money, and has no wallet or account balance.
  • Never sets odds, lines or spreads. It is not a sportsbook and not a casino.
  • Never takes a cut, rake, entry fee or organizer fee from any game.
  • Never awards prizes, and sells no credits, tokens, chips or in-app currency.
  • Has no lottery, sweepstakes, casino games, poker or betting on professional sports.

Golf is a game of skill

Every TeeRival result comes from the strokes the players themselves hit in their own round. Nothing is decided by a random draw, a spin or a card. Handicaps are used the same way they are in any club competition.

How settling up works

At the end of a round, TeeRival shows each player a summary of who is ahead and who is behind. If a player has added their Venmo username, the other players can tap Pay with Venmo, which opens the Venmo app with the name and amount filled in. The player reviews and confirms the payment inside Venmo.

TeeRival never sees, processes or completes that payment. Players can also settle up any other way they like, or not at all. TeeRival does not track, enforce or collect anything.

The app is free

TeeRival does not charge to play games, and no game feature is behind a paywall. If we ever offer a subscription, it will be for app features such as stats and organizer tools. It will never be required to play or settle a game, and it is never shared with players as winnings.

18 and older

TeeRival is for golfers 18 and older. Every player confirms they are 18 or older when they create an account, and existing players confirm it before they see game totals. The app is rated 18+ on the App Store.

States

Players in Washington, Utah and Tennessee see game results as points only. They see no dollar amounts and no Pay with Venmo button. This is based on the state in the player's profile. The list may change, and the app updates it automatically.

Everyone is responsible for following the laws where they live and play.
