The 8-week event your venue has been waiting for.

A patron passively watching a match goes home when it ends. A patron who's three points behind the bar manager on the leaderboard orders one more round waiting for the final whistle — and comes back Wednesday to tip the next game.

Stakes change behaviour. Here's how to create them.

Pack the House for Every Match
Patrons check the leaderboard and come back to watch the next game. The tournament becomes an 8-week event at your venue — not just the big match nights.
Live on Your Screens in Seconds
The Match Wall activates when a match goes live. Pull it up on any TV or tablet — real-time reactions, scores, and live banter running on your screens.
Patrons Join by Scanning a QR Code
Print one poster. Put it on the bar, tables, or entrance. Patrons scan, join, and make their first pick in under 30 seconds. No app download. No staff involvement.

Set up in five minutes. Runs for 8 weeks.

1
Create Your Venue Group
Sign up free with Google or Email. Name your competition and set your prize — bar tab, trophy, or bragging rights. Done in five minutes.
2
Print Your QR Poster
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.
3
Let It Run All Tournament
Tips lock at kickoff. Results settle automatically. The leaderboard runs itself for all 104 matches. You just host the party.

Everything your venue needs. Nothing extra.

📱
QR Code Entry
Every group gets a unique QR code. Print it, display it at the bar, tables, or entrance — and patrons scan to join and make their first pick in under 30 seconds. No app download. No instructions needed. No tech support from your staff.
🏟️
Match Wall on Your Screens
When a match kicks off, the Match Wall goes live — goals, reactions, and banter from every tipper who called it. Open it on any tablet or smart TV and let it run on the screen. Live social content, zero effort.
⚡
Zero Admin for Your Staff
Tips lock at kickoff. Results settle automatically. The leaderboard updates itself after every match. Your staff manage the bar — the platform manages the competition. Nobody is updating spreadsheets at midnight.
👥
Unlimited Patrons
No cap on group size. Whether it is 30 regulars or 400 walk-ins over the tournament, everyone joins the same group and competes on the same leaderboard. The bigger the group, the better the competition.
🛡️
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 Prize
Offer a bar tab, a trophy, a free meal, or just legendary bragging rights. Set it once when you create your group and it is displayed to every patron throughout the entire tournament. Your call — any prize works.
🗳️
Community Polls — Between Matches
Rest days don't have to go quiet. Weekly opinion polls on the tournament's biggest storylines give patrons something to debate when there's no match on. Put this week's question on a chalkboard, ask the room, and reveal what the global fan base thinks. A talking point — every Monday, all tournament.

“We printed the QR code, put it on every table, and had 80 patrons in the group by the first match. The leaderboard runs on the TV all night — people are talking about it more than the match. Already planning to use it for the knockouts.”
