Poolii

Introduction

Poolii is an innovative take on social networking, integrating the thrill of lotteries with the essence of connection-making. Operating under the mantra that “everyone wins by making connections,” Poolii revolutionizes social networking by turning posting into a privilege, allowing only one random user to post each day. Users increase their chances of winning the privilege by actively reading other winning posts.
