ABOUT ILL EAGLE GAMBLING

Ill Eagle Gambling is a free, tongue-in-cheek prediction game built around the Big Bear Eagle Cam. Jackie and Shadow — a resident bald eagle pair at Big Bear Lake, California — have been nesting, laying eggs, and raising eaglets for years, all watched live by hundreds of thousands of viewers.

We thought it would be fun to bring the sportsbook energy to the nest. So we built this. It looks like DraftKings. It sounds like DraftKings. But instead of NFL spreads, you're betting on pip detection. Instead of parlays, you're filing “flight formation bets.”

1. 1.Sign in with Google or GitHub to claim your perch and receive 1,000 Talon Tokens (the Hatch Bonus).
2. 2.Browse the Hunting Grounds and pick prediction markets — from “How many eggs will hatch?” to “Will the eagle cam crash on hatch day?”
3. 3.Drop your Talon Tokens on an outcome. This is a parimutuel pool — odds shift as more tokens are wagered. Watch the pool distribution in real time.
4. 4.When the event happens, the Nest Keeper settles the market. Winners split the pool proportional to their stake (minus a 10% Nest Maintenance Fee).
5. 5.Climb The Roost leaderboard. Flex on the nest watchers who bet against the first pip.

Jackie and Shadow are a bonded bald eagle pair who nest in Big Bear Valley, California. They are monitored and protected by Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV), a nonprofit conservation organization. The live eagle cam has attracted millions of viewers and helped raise awareness for bald eagle conservation.

We love Jackie and Shadow. We love FOBBV. Please consider supporting their work — they're the real reason this is possible.
