Read-only brokerage access
When you connect a brokerage, the OAuth scope is read-only — at the technical level, we cannot place trades, move money, or change anything in your account. We can see your positions and returns, nothing else.
We compete on returns,
not your bank account.
Podium League is a friends-only competition app for retail investors. Six things we do — and don't do — that the founder thinks matter most.
We store returns, not dollars
The only number that lives on our servers is your portfolio's percentage return. Account balances, account numbers, and dollar values stay at your brokerage. A $500 account and a $500K account compete on identical terms.
No money flows through Podium League
We are a scorekeeper. There are no entry fees, no prize pools, no peer-to-peer payments. The only money you'll ever pay us is the optional Pro subscription — purely a SaaS fee.
No investment advice
We don't tell you what to buy. There are no "top picks," no recommended trades, no editorial. Leaderboards rank members; they don't rank stocks. Past performance does not predict future results.
Minimal data footprint
Email, username, date of birth (for age verification), and historical return percentages. That's the entire dataset. You can delete it all from Settings any time — disconnecting a brokerage instantly revokes our read access.
US adults only
18+ and US-based. We geofence non-US traffic and verify age at signup. We have no plans to support gambling jurisdictions or international users at launch.

The pages below cover the same posture in regulatory-grade detail. If your bank or your lawyer wants to read them, they're here.
For competitive and informational purposes only. Not investment advice. Past performance does not predict future results.
