Footy tipping at the pub is one of the great Australian traditions — and the 2026 season is already heating up on the run to the finals. Give your patrons a reason to keep coming back every week — a free tipping competition that runs itself all season, with zero admin for your staff.

A patron watching a one-off match goes home when it ends. A patron who is six points behind the leader on your venue ladder is back next round — and the one after that. Footy tipping is already part of the culture. Make your venue the destination for all of it, right through the finals series.
Stakes change behaviour. A tipping competition running all season creates them.
Your regulars compete in your private venue group — but every tip they make also counts on the worldwide leaderboard. The regular who tops your season ladder might be one of the best AFL tippers on the planet. That's a story worth putting on the chalkboard.

“We've always had the footy on every screen, but putting the QR code on the bar for The Tipoff gave regulars a reason to check in every single round — even when their own team was on the bye. The ladder gets more attention than some of the games now.”
The Tipoff has no connection to any gambling operator, sportsbook, or bookmaker. No gambling account needed. No ID check. Just sign up with Google.
Every “free” prediction game you've seen has a bookmaker behind it. This one doesn't.
