How It Works

What is Box 5 Bets?

Box 5 Bets is a simulated sports betting game where virtual wagers pay out as real donations to your favorite marching arts organizations.

Odds are calculated from real performances and real scores and every payout is donated to the group of your choice.

No! Box 5 Bets is a pay-to-play simulator game designed to increase overall contributions to the marching arts. Win or lose, you cannot earn money or anything of value. Instead, all payouts are donated to the active group of your choice.

Learn about our mission

Simulated wagers can be placed by adults in the United States who are at least 18 years of age or older, as defined by your state.

Learn more about eligibility

You must select where potential payouts are distributed before placing a simulated bet. The group you choose must be an actively competing non-profit organization.

That's up to you. All payouts are donated to the active group of your choice, regardless of the group(s) included in your virtual wager.

That's okay! Simulated bets that don't hit become the profits for those that do. Win or lose, the more you play, the more you are helping support the marching arts.

Payouts

Payouts are finalized after related adjudication scores are published or made publicly available. Within 30 days, player payments will complete processing, all simulated bet activity will settle, and payout delivery will be attempted for all selected nonprofit organizations.

If we cannot get in contact with a selected nonprofit within 30 days, the original transaction(s) contributing to the payout will be refunded.
