Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Sidepick prediction pools.
Sidepick is a Telegram-native prediction platform. You make predictions on real-world events — sports, crypto, tech, and more — by joining community-driven pools directly inside Telegram.
All participants stake on one of two outcomes. When the event resolves, the entire pool (minus a small platform fee) is distributed proportionally to those who backed the correct outcome. There is no bookmaker — you bet against other participants.
Open @SidePickBot in Telegram and tap "Open App". Your Telegram account is your identity — no signup needed. Browse events, pick a side, and confirm your stake.
The minimum bet amount is $1.00 USD. You can see your available balance in the app at any time.
You can deposit using TON, USDT on TON (via TON Connect), or USDT on TRON (TRC-20). Each method is available in the Deposit section of the app. Crypto deposits are typically credited within minutes.
Go to the Withdraw section, choose your preferred network and amount, and submit. Withdrawals are processed automatically. Small withdrawals are typically completed within minutes; larger amounts may require manual review.
Sidepick charges a commission only on the profit portion of the winning pool — not on your original stake. The commission rate is transparent and visible before you place a bet.
If the winning outcome has zero bets, all stakes are refunded in full. No one loses, and no commission is charged.
Once a bet is placed, it cannot be canceled or modified. All bets are final. Make sure to review your stake and outcome before confirming.
Events are resolved by the platform administrators based on official sources. Results are final. If an event cannot be resolved fairly, it may be canceled and all stakes refunded.
Sidepick is accessible to anyone with a Telegram account and a crypto wallet. Since it uses cryptocurrency for payments, there are no banking or geographic restrictions.
You can reach support through the dedicated support bot linked in the app, or through the in-app support section. We aim to respond within 24 hours.
