What the heck is “Bet Your Followers”?

A Twitter app that lets you wager your followers for the chance of winning more.

How do I play?

Sign in with your Twitter account by clicking the big button. Twitter will ask if you want to connect your account to Bet Your Followers — click "Allow." Then choose which followers you want to bet and start shaking it like a polaroid picture. Battle other Twitter friends — if you defeat them, you win followers. If you lose, you lose followers — seriously!

How many Twitter followers can I win?

That depends on how many you bet. You can bet up to 5 followers and win up to 5 followers per round. Gamble until your energy runs out, and come back for more.

Having many followers is important to Twitter.
Why should I risk mine?

Everyone has someone to lose.

Who are the followers I might win?

They come from all over Twitter — maybe you'll make a new friend or two.

How do I increase my chances of winning?

Increase your chances of winning by battling low-risk opponents. Then shake the gorilla like a polaroid picture!

What do I do if I lost a follower I really care about?

Your lost followers can choose to re-follow you. We recommend you ask them nicely to re-follow. Flowers help.

Will Bet Your Followers tweet without my permission?

We don't tweet unless you tell us to — there are opportunities hidden around the app for you to tweet for more points (which help you level up). But it's up to you.

Why did you create this?

Good question.
