Frequently Asked Questions
Is SuperBrackets really free?
Yes, 100% free. No premium tiers, no in-app purchases, no hidden fees. Every feature is available to all users at no cost. We built SuperBrackets because we wanted a better bracket pool experience, not to monetize your picks.
How do you make money?
We don't, at least not yet. SuperBrackets is a passion project built by two founders who love basketball and great software. We may explore sustainable revenue options in the future, but we will never charge for core features or show ads.
Is this a gambling app?
No. SuperBrackets is for entertainment purposes only. No real money is wagered, won, or lost through the platform. It's just for fun and bragging rights.
How many people can join a pool?
There's no limit. Whether you have 4 friends or 400 coworkers, SuperBrackets handles it. Our real-time leaderboard and chat scale to any pool size.
Do I need to download an app?
No. SuperBrackets is a web app that works in any modern browser — on your phone, tablet, or desktop. No download required. Just open the link and play.
When can I start filling out brackets?
You can create your pool and invite friends anytime. Bracket picks open when the official tournament bracket is announced on Selection Sunday and must be submitted before the first game tips off.
