Tontines

Tontines Games is a social wagering platform inspired by the infamous 17th century French tontines. In the form of a mobile app game, this is played in the real world with real people. The idea is that you can invite your friends to speculate on survivorship with you. The survivors get all the money from the pool of speculations. Using your mobile device, you can protect yourself, or hunt down and “do away” with your friends, to increase your chance of getting more money at the end of the game. Games can last an hour or a month, and tontines can be bought for $1 to $100,000, which means you can win a million dollars if you have enough friends, and friends of friends, playing. Real money is wagered. Your skill alone determines your odds of surviving.
