44 reasons for your regulars to come back.

A patron watching a one-off match goes home when it ends. A patron who is six points behind the leader on your venue leaderboard is back for the next session — and the one after that. The Big Bash is a six-week summer event with a bigger following than ever, playing out right when everyone's off work and looking for somewhere to be. Make your venue the destination for all of it.

Stakes change behaviour. A tipping competition running all summer creates them.

Summer-Long Foot Traffic
Patrons check the leaderboard and come back every match. The Big Bash becomes a six-week destination at your venue — not just the Melbourne Derby.
Live on Your Screens Every Session
Pull up the Match Wall on any TV or tablet, logged in as a staff member who tipped the match, for real-time reactions alongside the broadcast.
Patrons Join by Scanning a QR Code

Set up in five minutes. Runs for six weeks.

1
Sign Up (Just You)
Create your free account with Google or Email. You'll pick a sport during setup — that's just for your own profile and has no effect on your venue group.
2
Create Your Venue Group
Name your competition and set your season prize — bar tab, trophy, or bragging rights. Done in five minutes.
3
Print Your QR Code
Every group has a unique QR code. Print it and display it at the bar, beer garden tables, or entrance. Patrons scan, sign up and join.
4
Let It Run All Summer
Tips lock at the first ball. Results settle automatically. The leaderboard runs itself across all 44 matches. You just host the cricket.

Everything your venue needs. Nothing extra.

📱
QR Code Entry
Every group gets a unique QR code. Print it, display it at the bar, beer garden tables, or entrance — and patrons scan, sign up with Google or Email, and join. No app download, and no tech support from your staff.
🏟️
Match Wall on Your Screens Every Session
Every match has a Match Wall where everyone on The Tipoff who tipped it reacts to the wickets and boundaries in real time. Log in on a tablet or smart TV with a staff account that has tipped the match, and let it run through the session.
⚡
Zero Admin — All 44 Matches
Tips lock at the first ball. Results settle automatically. The leaderboard updates itself after every match across the entire summer. Your staff manage the bar — the platform manages the competition. Nobody is updating spreadsheets after last drinks.
👥
Unlimited Regulars
No cap on group size. Whether it is 30 regulars who come in every session or 200 people who dip in and out across the summer, everyone joins the same group and competes on the same leaderboard. The bigger the group, the better the competition.
🌍
Your Regulars Compete Globally
Every patron who tips at your venue also earns a rank on the worldwide leaderboard. Your local regulars are competing privately in your group — but they're also ranking against BBL fans from around the world. The regular who wins your season leaderboard might be one of the best Big Bash tippers on the planet.
🛡️
No Betting — Safe for Licensed Venues
The Tipoff is a free-to-play tipping game. No money changes hands through the platform. Patrons compete for fun and for the prize you choose to set. Always check your local regulations for prizes offered, but the platform itself has no gambling mechanics — ever.
🏆
Set Your Own Season Prize
Offer a bar tab at season end, a trophy, a free meal, or legendary bragging rights. Set it once when you create your group and it is displayed to every patron all summer long. Your call — any prize works.
🌍

Local competition. Global rank.

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 table might be one of the best Big Bash tippers on the planet. That's a story worth putting on the chalkboard.
