Game day is already the highlight of the week for millions of fans. The excitement, the rivalries, the plays that get replayed again and again — now that same energy can do more than fuel bragging rights. Predict5 has turned sports fandom into a fun way to give back, letting every pick contribute to real causes while keeping the thrill of competition alive.
The format is refreshingly simple. Each week, players choose five projections from NFL, college, or other marquee matchups. Go 5-for-5 and the prize pool is instantly up for grabs. Even if a pick goes wrong, every entry still counts toward monthly and season-long contests, so there’s always something to play for.
The twist is what makes Predict5 stand out. Forty cents of every dollar played goes directly to a nonprofit or NIL collective chosen by the fan. Half supports the prize pool, and the remaining ten cents covers platform costs. That means every dollar wagered is part competition and part contribution, ensuring that fans are fueling more than just their own scoreboard.
This model separates Predict5 from traditional betting platforms. Instead of encouraging endless entries and high-stakes risks, it caps play at one round per week. The result is a balanced experience that emphasizes community impact as much as personal wins.
The scale of what’s possible is staggering. If 50 million fans joined in on a single NFL Sunday, $500 million would flow to causes ranging from education to hunger relief. Stretch that across a full season, and billions could be moved without changing anything other than how fans interact with the games they already love.
Programs like Oak Out Hunger, founded by NBA legend Charles Oakley, are already proving how those dollars can make a real difference by funding meal programs across the country.
Predict5 is now live in California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and Georgia, with free-to-play access in New York and other states. For more information visit the website www.predict5.app or download the app from the IOS App Store or Google Play Store.
