Getting started

How much does WedWager cost?

$29, one time, per event. There are no per-guest fees, no subscription, and no hidden charges. One payment covers the full event regardless of how many guests attend.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. WedWager runs entirely in a mobile browser. Guests scan a QR code or tap a link — they're in within seconds. No App Store, no Google Play, no account creation required.

How do I set up my event?

Purchase WedWager for $29 via the checkout link. After payment, you'll be taken directly to the event creation screen. Enter your event name, choose a join code (e.g. SMITH2025), and add your email. That's it — your event is live.

How long does setup take?

Most couples are set up in under 5 minutes. Markets can be added at any time before or during the event.

Guests & joining

How do guests join?

Guests visit app.wedwager.com/join and enter the event code, or they can scan a QR code you display at the venue. They type their name and start betting immediately — no password, no email, no account.

How many guests can join?

Unlimited. The $29 fee covers the full event regardless of guest count.

Can guests join on the day of the wedding?

Yes. Guests can join any time while the event is active. You can share the link in your group chat before the day, and also display the QR code at tables during the reception.

Betting & markets

Is real money involved?

No. All bets are placed using virtual credits. WedWager is a prediction game played for fun and bragging rights — no money changes hands through the platform.

How do the odds work?

WedWager uses a real prediction market pricing model called LMSR (Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule). Odds shift in real time as guests buy positions — the more people bet on an outcome, the shorter the odds get, just like a real market.

What kinds of questions can I set up?

Anything goes. WedWager comes with a library of pre-built templates covering ceremony, speeches, reception, and more. You can also write custom questions with any number of outcomes — not just yes/no.

Can guests suggest their own markets?

Yes. Guests have a Suggest tab where they can propose their own questions. You'll see these in your admin dashboard and can accept or reject them.

When do I resolve markets?

You resolve each market whenever the real-world outcome is known — right after the first dance, once the speeches are done, etc. You can do it live during the event or wrap up at the end.

Admin & management

How do I get back into my event?

Go to app.wedwager.com/admin and enter your admin email and event code. No password required.

Can I pause betting on a market?

Yes. From your admin dashboard you can pause any open market (guests can no longer trade it) and reopen it at any time.

Can I set how many credits each guest starts with?

Yes. When creating your event, you choose the starting credit balance. The default is 1,000 credits.

Comparison

How is WedWager different from Betting on the Wedding?

WedWager is web-based — no app download required. It costs $29 (versus $49.99 for Betting on the Wedding). It uses a real LMSR prediction market pricing model so odds shift dynamically. It also includes a guest suggestion system so attendees can propose their own markets.
