21 rounds of reasons for your regulars to come back.

A patron watching a one-off game goes home when it ends. A patron who is six points behind the leader on your venue leaderboard is back for the next game — and the one after that. Make your venue the place to watch the NBL all season.

Season-Long Foot Traffic
Patrons check the leaderboard and come back all season — not just when their own team is playing.
Live on Your Screens
The Match Wall activates when games go live. Pull it up on any TV or tablet — real-time reactions on your screens every game night.

Every group has a unique QR code. Print it and display it at the bar, on tables or at the entrance. Patrons scan to join in under 30 seconds.

🏟️
Match Wall on Your Screens Every Game Night
When tip-off arrives, the Match Wall goes live for every game your patrons tipped. Reactions and real-time banter from every fan on The Tipoff who called that game, on any screen you choose. Open it on a tablet or smart TV and let it run all night.
⚡
Zero Admin — All 165 Games
Tips lock at tip-off. Results settle automatically. The leaderboard updates itself after every game across the whole season. Your staff run the venue — the platform runs the competition. Nobody is updating spreadsheets after close.
👥
Unlimited Regulars
No cap on group size. Whether it is 30 regulars who come every week or 200 people who drop in 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 regulars compete privately in your group — but they're also ranked against NBL fans everywhere.
🛡️
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 bragging rights. Set it once when you create your group and it is shown to every patron all season. 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 NBL tippers anywhere.

New on The Tipoff for NBL27

The NBL now sits alongside the AFL, NRL, Big Bash and NBA on The Tipoff. If your venue already runs a group for another sport, your regulars can start tipping the NBL in the same group today.

Common questions from venue operators

Do I need a gambling licence to run an NBL tipping competition 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. Join and first tip in under 30 seconds.
The NBL season has already started. Is it too late?
No. NBL27 runs until mid-February, followed by the Finals. Patrons who join now start earning points from the next game they tip.
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 game night.
Is it free for my venue for the whole season?
Completely free — every game. No setup fee, no subscription, no credit card. Your patrons play for free too.
Can one group cover the NBL and other sports?
Yes. One venue group can cover every league you show — NBL, AFL, NRL, Big Bash, NBA and more — so your regulars have something to tip all year.
