34 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 next Saturday — and the one after that. Ligue 1 is a nine-month season. Make your venue the destination for all of it.

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

Season-Long Foot Traffic
Patrons check the leaderboard and come back every journée. Ligue 1 becomes a 34-week event at your venue — not just Le Classique night.
Live on Your Screens Every Weekend
The Match Wall activates when matches go live. Pull it up on any TV or tablet, logged in with a staff account that tipped the match — real-time reactions and live banter running on your screens every matchday.
Patrons Join by Scanning a QR Code
Print one poster. Put it on the bar, tables, or entrance. Patrons scan, sign up and join. No app download.

Set up in five minutes. Runs for nine months.

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, on tables, or at the entrance. Patrons scan, sign up and join.
4
Let It Run All Season
Tips lock at kickoff. Results settle automatically. The leaderboard runs itself across all 34 matchdays. You just host the football.

Everything your venue needs. Nothing extra.

📱

🏟️
Match Wall on Your Screens, Every Journée
Ligue 1 spreads its journée across Friday night to Monday night. Whenever your patrons' matches kick off, the Match Wall goes live — goals, reactions, and real-time banter from every fan on The Tipoff who called that match.
⚡
Zero Admin — All 34 Journées
Tips lock at kickoff. Results settle automatically. The leaderboard updates itself after every match across the entire season. Your staff manage the bar — the platform manages the competition.
👥
Unlimited Regulars
No cap on group size. Whether it is 30 regulars who come every week or 200 people who dip in and out across the season, everyone joins the same group and competes on the same leaderboard.
🌍
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 Ligue 1 fans from around the world.
🛡️
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.
🏆
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 season long.
🗳️
Weekly Polls — Between Journées
Ligue 1 runs week in, week out — and so do the debates. Weekly opinion polls on Le Classique and the European race give patrons something to argue about between fixtures.
🌍

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 Ligue 1 tippers on the planet. That's a story worth putting on the chalkboard. Patrons don't have to join your group either — anyone can sign up and tip solo on the Global Leaderboard without ever joining a group.

Common questions from venue operators

Do I need a gambling license to run this at my venue?
No. The Tipoff is a free-to-play tipping game — no money changes hands through the platform. Patrons compete for fun. Always check your local regulations for any prizes you choose to offer separately.
How do patrons join my venue's group?
They scan your unique QR code or enter the group code. No app download required — it works in any mobile browser. Sign up and join in about a minute.
Can I show the leaderboard and Match Wall on my venue TVs?
Yes. The app runs in any browser. Open it on a tablet or any device connected to a screen, and your patrons see it live every matchday. The Match Wall for a match shows on an account that has tipped it.
Is it free for my venue for the whole season?
Completely free — all 34 rounds. No setup fee, no subscription, no credit card. Your patrons play for free too.
Do patrons have to join my group, or can they play solo?
Either — they can join your venue group, or sign up and tip solo on the Global Leaderboard without ever joining a group at all.
How many clubs are in Ligue 1?
Ligue 1 has 18 clubs, reduced from 20 starting in the 2023/24 season, playing 34 journées spread from Friday night through Monday night — so there is almost always a live match to show on your screens.
