Expert verdict

It’s clear from the get-go that Wanna Parlay is a platform with strong ambitions that isn’t afraid to do things its own way. Its points-based format and parlay system make it very intriguing and engaging, especially if you enjoy a bit of strategy with your picks.

When it comes to U.S. sports, you have plenty to work with. With entry requirements starting from as low as $2 for some contests, it’s easy to dip in and experiment, without having to overcommit yourself.

That said, the app struggles with the finer details, with occasional glitches that do not inspire much confidence. Transparency is also hit-or-miss in places, especially when it comes to market visibility. The fact that non-registered users can’t access live chat is also a big letdown. 

And while entry fees can be quite low, certain contests can feel a bit unrealistic, requiring a minimum of 50 points to be eligible. Still, there’s a solid foundation here and if you’re into the tension and suspense brought on by parlays, then Wanna Parlay has plenty to offer you on that front.

Wanna Parlay bonuses

When using the promo code TIME2PLAY during registration, Wanna Parlay rewards new players with a 100% deposit match up to $250. This welcome bonus comes with a minimum deposit requirement of $10.

The bonus funds will be automatically credited to your account following your first deposit and come with a 1x playthrough requirement. As a DFS platform, the maximum win is not determined by the bonus itself, but rather by the contest prize pools.

While the offer is only available to players where paid-entry contests are legal, Wanna Parlay also has a recurring reward for its free-to-play version. With no purchase required, users get one free contest entry every day just for logging in, with no code needed.

Bonus facts

Elsewhere, Wanna Parlay’s Referral Program is split across five levels and could see you earn up to $1,369 in withdrawable cash. To take part, simply head over to the ‘Invite Friends’ section in the app to get your customized link.

You can send this link to a total of five people, in which case you will earn $20 per sign-up for a maximum of $100. That completes Level 1. At Level 2, each of your five referrals must invite five additional users (25 total), with $2 per referral.

This pattern continues up to Level 5, which reaches a total of 3,125 referrals. Keep in mind that as the number of referrals increase with each level, your payout per conversion decreases, starting at $20 in Level 1 and falling to $0.25 in Level 5.

Lastly, Wanna Parlay runs occasional limited-time giveaways for both new and existing users.

Wanna Parlay sports and markets

Wanna Parlay supports nine different sporting disciplines, with strong emphasis placed on football markets like the NFL and NCAAF. Other staples include basketball courtesy of the NBA, while hockey fans can build parlays on NHL picks.

Beyond this, players can also make selections across tennis and golf, with combat sports supported through both boxing and MMA.

Sports facts

Soccer is also available, although information on specific markets wasn’t publicly available at the time of this review.

Wanna Parlay betting features

As the name suggests, Wanna Parlay revolves around building parlays made up of multiple picks to create an entry. These entries are then submitted into an active contest where you can earn points for each correct pick.

These points help determine your place on a shared leaderboard. The amount of points you earn depends on the difficulty of your picks. Naturally, harder picks equal more points, however, one wrong move and your parlay is eliminated from the leaderboard. 

Entry fees vary by contest, with some starting from as low as $2. The platform’s Main Event can have prize pools of up to $2,000, while occasional giveaways may offer grand prizes valued at around $3,000

You also don’t need to finish in first place to redeem prizes and can still finish in a ‘winning position’ so long as all your picks are correct. If one of your picks results in a push, your parlay will be recalculated. However, if your picks fall below the minimum requirement after a push, the entire parlay becomes void.

Feature facts

In terms of available betting options, Wanna Parlay mimics traditional sportsbooks with standard markets like moneylines, totals/overs, and spreads. Team props such as predicting the correct score are also available, as are player prop options.

The minimum number of picks for your parlay varies depending on the contest, but generally lies between four and five. The social sportsbook version works in much the same way as paid entries, except with much smaller prize pools and just one single free entry per day.

Wanna Parlay odds

As opposed to standard odds or even multipliers, Wanna Parlay is a points-based system. The number of points you can potentially earn depends on the difficulty of your picks. In other words, the higher the number of points, the less likely the outcome will be.

For instance, a simple moneyline might display 1.35 points for one team and 3.38 points for the other, with the latter being the underdog and therefore the less likely outcome.

Odds facts

For spreads, you might see something like -7.5 (1.17) versus +7.5 (2.34). The figures in brackets represent the points potential.

Every pick contributes toward your potential overall parlay score, which in turn will determine your place on the leaderboard of that particular contest.

Wanna Parlay payments

Wanna Parlay supports up to seven transaction methods, covering both traditional and modern payment options. Credit or debit card options are available through Visa and Mastercard, while players can also fund their accounts via online bank transfers processed by Plaid.

E-wallets include PayPal and Venmo, while mobile-specific payment options include Apple Pay for iOS users and Google Pay for Android users.

Payment facts

Deposits are processed instantly and carry a minimum requirement of $10. Wanna Parlay does not impose deposit limits, although users in Massachusetts are subject to a state-mandated deposit cap of $1,000 per month.

Withdrawals require a minimum of $15 and may take up to five business days to be processed. That said, using options such as PayPal and Venmo could speed up the process. A 2.5% processing fee applies to all withdrawal requests.

Wanna Parlay player protection features

To safeguard both personal and financial information, Wanna Parlay uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) with an RSA algorithm. It then applies 256-bit encryption to protect data during transfer.

Aside from these security measures, Wanna Parlay also provides RG tools designed to help players set boundaries when playing. These include deposit limits to restrict funding to your account, and contest entry limits that cap the number of contests you can enter within a selected time period. Once a limit is reached, it cannot be adjusted until the time period has passed.

Safety facts

Players can also keep track of their own behavior by viewing transaction history, entries made, and net wins/losses over time. Parental controls are also encouraged, including age verification and third-party software to prevent minors from accessing your account.

For additional support, Wanna Parlay directs players to nationwide resources such as the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), which operates a 24-hour confidential helpline. Elsewhere, the International Center for Responsible Gaming (ICRG) provides guidance and counseling services.

Customer support at Wanna Parlay

Wanna Parlay encourages players to get in touch through its contact form available as a separate tab on its website. Here, users can submit complaints, queries, and inquiries about partnerships by entering their details into the designated fields.

Once ready, clicking the submit button will send your question to [email protected]. Alternatively, you can also choose to reach out to them directly via that same email without using the contact form. Response time is around one hour.

Support facts

During testing, the platform’s Terms and Conditions also make no mention of any instant messaging service available. However, customer support confirmed that there is a 24/7 live chat feature available in the app. To access it, open the side menu and select Support to reach out to a live agent.

Usability and navigation

Wanna Parlay is a mobile-first sports gaming platform available on both iOS and Android devices. The desktop version functions as an information hub, offering access to rules, terms, blogs, and a link to download the app.

Registration on the app is straightforward and the interface uses a purple-and-white color scheme with hints of yellow dashed in for good measure. The app organizes its content into easily identifiable tabs based on categories, allowing users to switch between sports, contest types, player props, and scoring formats.

Accessing bonuses, like the referral scheme, and contacting customer support can be done through the side menu.

Platform facts

However, bear in mind that there is no main search bar available, so navigation relies entirely on the categorized tabs and menu options provided. In some cases, certain stats and props may not be visible for specific events.
