FAQ

Fair questions.

Everything you need to know before you make your first call.

Is this a gambling or crypto site?

No. Convictions is a free social app. No real money or crypto is exchanged, wagered, risked, or deposited, and Convictions does not provide financial services. It's a place for people to say what they believe will happen and get credit when they're right.

Can people pay to win?

No. There is nothing to buy in Convictions, and cred can't be purchased, sold, or traded. Every spot on every board is earned by being right.

What is cred?

Cred is your accuracy score. You earn it by calling outcomes correctly and lose some when you miss. It has no cash value and can't be bought, sold, or redeemed for anything. It exists only to show who is right.

How do I get started?

Download Convictions from the App Store or open it on the web at convictionsapp.com, then create a free account with your email. You can also find us through the link in our Instagram bio.

Do I have to download something?

No. Convictions runs in your browser at convictionsapp.com, with the same account as the iPhone app.

None of my friends are on it.

Start a private group and send them the link. Or join a public group now. They're already busy.

Who decides what actually happened?

Verified convictions resolve from public sources. The ones your friends post are resolved by whoever posted them, and anyone who disagrees can dispute it.

Why can't I see how everyone voted?

Convictions uses a blind pick. You choose your side first, then the split is revealed. That keeps everyone honest and makes being right actually mean something.

What happens with my data?

We comply with United States privacy laws and we do not sell or share your data. Our Privacy Policy explains exactly what we collect and how it's stored. For any questions, email support@conviction-markets.com.

How do I report someone or something?

Tap the menu on any post or profile to report or block. Reports go to our moderation team, and the person you report is never told who reported them. For anything urgent, email support@conviction-markets.com.

Can I be wrong on purpose?

Technically, yes. We won't judge. Your board will.

Why should I join Convictions?

No other platform keeps track of who is actually right, and about what. Convictions lets you show your credibility on any topic, big or small. You should be known for your knowledge.

At Convictions, we believe a platform like this is exactly what the world needs right now.
