About Us

Wanna was born from the friendship between two entrepreneurs and former Kansas State football players, Jim Bob Morris and Carson Coffman. Both love sports, competition and taking risks. They shared a dream of creating an experience for sports fans that could replicate the feeling of intense emotion and competition that they felt while playing football at the highest level.

We're All About Community & Social Experiences

Wanna Parlay embodies the joy of winning, the heartbreak of almost winning and all the other emotions that you will experience during competition…There is tremendous value in experiencing these moments together, which is why we focus so much on the features in our app that create a community.

Wanna Parlay captures the highs of winning, the lows of almost winning, and everything in between. We believe the real value lies in sharing those moments, which is why our app is built around community.

How It Started

The original product, Wanna, is a social p2p gambling app that was launched in Brazil in 2019. The Wanna team has been developing new games and social features ever since. Wanna Parlay was a game that we built for the original Wanna app to offer bigger prizes for parlays. This game took on a life of its own so we decided to bring it to the U.S.
