Who we are

We’re here to fix a rigged system where the house sets the rules and always wins. Novig is the future of sports markets. It’s a peer-to-peer prediction market built to be a fair and transparent alternative to traditional sportsbooks. We put users first.

“Novig is extremely well positioned to win. We have the people, the culture, and the business to take advantage of the opportunity and maximize the markets and our valuation.”

“I joined Novig because it gave me a chance to be a part of a revolution.”

“I’m still here because I want to go head to head with the very best in our industry”

If you want responsibility, trust, and the chance to help build the future of sports betting - take your shot, the market is open.
