Charge for your picks. Prove the record.
A subscription storefront on your own address, for people who already have an audience and have never sold to it. Every pick you publish is graded here automatically, and the record is public.
Signup is invite-only right now. We’re opening it to cappers one at a time while the terms of service and privacy policy get written — it would not be right to take your subscribers’ money or their email addresses before that exists.
Free to start. Nothing to install. Your address is you.pickscaster.com.
What you get
- you.pickscaster.com
- Your own subdomain, live the moment you claim it. Your name at the top, your color on the buttons, no platform branding anywhere on it.
- Your subscribers
- They pay through Stripe on your account, not ours. You keep the customer relationship, the email list, and the ability to leave.
- Your pages
- A storefront, a subscriber feed, a page per pick, and a public grading page that explains every number on the site.
Why anyone should believe you
Anyone can post a screenshot. The reason this works is that you don’t control the scoreboard: every pick you publish is graded against the final result, by us, and it posts to your record whichever way it went. You cannot quietly delete a loss. That is the point — it is what makes the wins worth something.
- Graded from the final result — win, loss, push, or no-contest.
- Cappers cannot edit or delete graded picks through the product. Pickscaster may remove or restrict content for legal, safety, privacy, or integrity reasons and may preserve an audit entry when it does so.
- The full graded history is public and free. The paywall is only on today's picks and your write-ups.
- Every number on your record can be checked by scrolling to the picks behind it.
Day one you have no record
We are not going to pretend otherwise, and neither will your storefront. Until something is graded it says “Record building” and nothing else — no zeros dressed up as results, no imported claims from somewhere we can’t check. Your first graded pick is your first number, and it arrives with a date on it.
That is a slower start than a screenshot. It is also the only version of this that is worth anything a season from now.
What it costs
- 5% of each subscription
- The platform's cut, taken from each subscription payment. It is the only thing we charge.
- Stripe's fees
- Stripe's normal processing fees come out of your own Stripe account, the same as they would anywhere else. We never touch your balance.
- Nothing up front
- No setup fee, no monthly fee, no minimum. If nobody subscribes, you pay nothing.
- You set the price
- You choose your monthly price during setup and can change it afterwards. Existing subscribers keep the price they signed up at.
Why you need an invite
The product works. What isn’t finished is the paperwork around it: the terms of service, the privacy policy, and the disclaimers that belong on a site where people sell picks. Until those are written and reviewed, we’re not opening the door to strangers — not because space is scarce, but because we’d be asking you to run a business on rules nobody has published yet.
- How invites happen
- One at a time, by us, to cappers we’ve actually talked to. If a conversation is already going, that’s where your code comes from. There is no queue to join and no list to be on.
- If you have a code
- Sign in with your email and enter it on the first setup screen. Everything on this page is exactly what you get.
- When it opens
- When the terms are done. We’re not going to guess a date here — a date on this page would be the first invented number on it.
How to start, once you're in
- Name and addressYour storefront's name and its address on the web.
- Your lookMasthead treatment, display type, and your color.
- PaymentsConnect Stripe and set your monthly price.
- Your first pickPublish one pick. It gets graded here.
Your storefront is a draft until Stripe is connected and one pick is published. A draft is reachable and you can share the link, but it is not listed, not indexed by search engines, and cannot take money.
