How to Run a Squares Pool

From setup to payout — everything you need to run a smooth sports squares or box pool for your crew.

1

Create your pool

Sign up for PoolerHub and hit New Pool. Set the pool name, price per box, and your payment handle (Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle) so players know where to send their entry fee. The whole setup takes under two minutes.

2

Share the link

PoolerHub gives you a private share link. Drop it in your group chat, text it to the crew, or send it via email. Players don't need to create an account — they just tap the link and they're in.

3

Players claim their boxes

Each player taps any open square on the 10×10 grid and enters their name. The box is locked in immediately — first come, first served. Players can claim multiple boxes if they want extra chances to win.

4

Track payments in the ledger

Your dashboard includes a built-in payment ledger. Mark players as paid, add notes, and see at a glance who still owes. No spreadsheets, no screenshots, no group chat chaos.

5

Draw the numbers before kickoff

Once the pool fills — or any time before the game starts — open your dashboard and draw numbers. You can let PoolerHub randomly generate the digits 0–9 for each axis, or enter them manually. Numbers are assigned to each row and column of the grid and are visible to all players on the share link.


Ready to run your pool?

Set up takes under two minutes. Your crew can start claiming boxes the moment you share the link.
