About

I'm Tom, creator of Torch. After watching too many friends get pulled deeper into DraftKings, I wanted to build something that captured everything fun about sports betting — the trash talk, the bragging rights, the group chats — without the financial damage. Torch is my answer: virtual points, real competition, friends only. The internets first fantasy sportsbook.

Torch - Fantasy Sportsbook

Torch turns sports prediction into a social game. Form leagues with your friends, pick spreads, totals, parlays, and player props across 60+ sports, and climb a weekly leaderboard — all with virtual points, never real money. Commissioners customize each league by sport and bet type. Set up prizes outside the app like fantasy football. The Den feed makes every game a group chat. Pass the Torch lets you loan points to friends on cold streaks. Weekly paydays keep everyone in the mix.
