1. Pick your side
Think yes or no? Tap YES or NO. Your money goes into that side's pot.
How does La Ponina work?
On La Ponina you bet with your people. Everything bet on a market goes into one pot, and when the result is known, the people who called it split it.
2. Winners split the pot
If your side wins, your side splits the pot, by how much each one put in.
3. Watch the estimate
Before you bet we show what you'd collect. It moves as people bet, until close. Let's play!
1. Pick a market
Each ponina is a question about something that is going to happen. You can put on YES or NO. Each ponina has its chat, and you can share it.
Will Al2 and El B release a song together before June 2027?
YES NO
2. Bet from $1
What you bet goes into your side's pot. The percentage you see on each option (YES 70% · NO 30%) is how much money is on each side. It's not an official probability: it's what people think, with their money.
YES 70% 30% NO
3. If you win, you collect
When the result is known:
- The winners split the whole pot, by how much each one put in.
Examples with numbers
Example 1: $700 on YES and $300 on NO.
YES 70% 30% NO
YES wins. The pot is $1,000. If you put $10 on YES, you collect $14.28.
NO wins. If you put $10 on NO, you collect $33.33.
Example 2: 20 people put $10 on YES ($200) and 5 people put $10 on NO ($50).
YES 80% 20% NO
YES wins. The pot is $250. It is split among 20 people: each collects $12.50.
NO wins. It is split among 5 people: each collects $50.00.
Example 3: $200 on YES and $5 on NO.
YES 98% 2% NO
YES wins. The pot is $205. The person with $200 collects $205.00.
NO wins. The person with $5 collects $205.00.
The cents left over when splitting stay with La Ponina.
4. The estimate changes
Before you bet we tell you how much you would collect. That number changes as people bet, until the market closes.
Your bet
If you bet $10 on YES, you collect ~$14.22
Includes your $10. Profit ~$4.22.
×1.42 multiplier · Estimate, changes until close
- If more people come to your side, you collect less.
- If they go to the other side, you collect more.
5. Close and result
Every market has a closing time. After that, you can't bet. While we confirm the result you'll see "Confirming": there we review what happened and anyone can send evidence. If the event is canceled, we give you everything back. The exact rules of each market are on its page, under "Market rules".
6. Your money
You pay with your card, in US dollars (USD), in a secure window. As soon as the payment is confirmed, what you deposited goes to your balance.
If you win, we pay you automatically, stake included, as soon as the result is confirmed.
After you bet we ask for your Cash App address so we can pay you. If you leave it for later, what you win waits on your balance.
7. The fund for the song
You chip in from your balance and it stays in the fund for the song. If the song comes out, what is in the fund is paid to Al2 and El B. If the song does not come out, you get your full money back.
8. Invite and level up
Share your bet or your link. When your friend places their first bet, it counts for you: you earn experience and rank up and you earn 1,000 points to play.
9. Ranks: from Fiñe to Tony Montana
Everything you do earns experience: betting, winning, bringing friends and commenting, with points or money. Experience raises your rank, and each rank has its medal next to your nickname. A rank you earn is never lost. Ranks do not change your payouts.
10. Sponsor prize
Some markets show "Presented by" and a business's name. That business pays for its banner. La Ponina may add an extra prize for the winners: "+$100 PRIZE". You pay nothing extra.
11. Creator codes
If you came in with a creator's code, that creator gets a share of what La Ponina earns. It costs you nothing and your payouts don't change.
12. Played with points
Put points in Heating up. You get 1,000 when you sign up, 10,000 with a creator or media partner code, 1,000 each month and 1,000 when a friend you invited puts for the first time. You can also buy points with your card: 1,000 points cost $10.
13. Titles
Titles. Call it and win titles: Pitoniso of the week (the one who calls the most, with 5 or more settled markets), Boss of the month (the one who brings the most friends), Encendío (5 in a row), Imparable (10 in a row) and each season’s titles. The first option you bet on in each market is the one that counts. Titles don’t change your payouts.
