ABOUT BTR

For the fans
in the stand.

BTR (Blow The Ref) is a South African match-day platform built by fans, for fans. We started with a simple idea — the people watching the match should have a microphone the size of the stadium.

NO. 01 · MISSION

Passive spectators become
active participants.

South African sport is the loudest, most opinionated audience on earth. And for decades they’ve had nowhere to put that voice except into the screen. BTR is the surface area for that voice — predict the score, pool up with mates, blow the whistle on a bad call, and have the receipts the next morning.

We will never be a betting app. Pools cap your risk by design. Scoring is published before kick-off. The journey — the lobby, the whistle, the trivia, the chat — is the product. The money is just one of the ways you keep score.

NO. 02 · WHAT WE STAND FOR

Five non-negotiables.

Fan-first

Every decision starts with: does this make match day better for the person watching the match?

Capped, never compounded

One entry per pool. No chasing losses. No "boost" mechanics. The product enforces what the policy promises.

Transparent always

Scoring published before kick-off. Operator fees disclosed on every paid pool. Every product change documented.

Local first

Built in South Africa, for South African fans.

The whistle is the soul

A consensus tool aimed at calls, not players. We aggregate. We protect. We publish.

NO. 03 · THE LINE-UP

Small team.
Big audience.
