Peer to peer betting
The bet you made last night, written down and settled fairly.
Friends make bets all the time — then forget the terms, the deadline, or the whole thing. Handshake records it, reminds you both, and closes it out when you agree on a winner.
Any event
Sunday's game, the Oscars, an election, or whether your friend actually runs that 5K.
Terms on the record
Both sides agree to the exact wording, stake and deadline before it counts.
Settled honestly
Both sides confirm the winner. Disagree, and it's flagged — with a way to report people who don't pay up.
Stakes are tracked, not paid
Handshake keeps score of who owes what. Money moves between you two — in-app payments come later.
