Better still, templates can be customized to suit any sponsor or theme you’d like.

7th Inning Scratch, Match & Win
Put the chance to win in every fan’s hand, while giving your sponsor incredible exposure before, during and after the game with Odds On’s Scratch, Match and Win video board promotion. Odds On will customize a scratch card for you to distribute to every fan instructing them to “scratch” off their cards and watch the video board during the 7th Inning stretch.

Basketball Bracket Promotion That Nets Results!

Like the idea of offering your audience a $1,000,000 basketball promotion, but don’t want to manage a bunch of paper?

Banish those bracket forms and eliminate the hassle of hand-tallying, while increasing traffic to your store, website and/or next live appearance with Championship Challenge, Odds On Promotions‘ turnkey online basketball bracket promotion for radio stations, TV stations, newspapers, retailers and casinos.

Talk about easy! You’ll select an attention-grabbing prize – up to $1,000,000 – and invite your audience to your website to register for a chance to win.

Once on your website, contestants will click a link to the custom contest page that’s branded for your business and make their picks. If a lucky fan predicts a winning number of games, they’ll score up to $1,000,000 and Odds On Promotions will write the check!

According to Chris Gardiner, Northeast & Midwest Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, “This promotion has been very effective for a number of radio stations. Not only does it provide a variety of advertising and sponsorship opportunities including title sponsor, banner and video advertising on the game site, as well as consolation prize sponsorships, but it is a fun way to engage the audience; listeners can challenge and interact with each other as well as play against on-air talent.”

Brent Kelly, Odds On’s Southwest Business Development Manager sees Championship Challenge as a unique, “hands-free” way for casinos to run a basketball bracket promotion, “Many casinos love the concept of a bracket promotion but don’t want the hassel of managing the brackets … with this contest, no manual management is needed. What’s more, casinos can qualify players in the days leading up to the Big Dance, distributing a special access code at their player’s club booth, giving even the smallest of properties a great way to ‘pay’ for this ‘off-property’ contest!”

Evelyn Golding, Odds On’s Southeastern Business Development Manager notes, “For me the big bonus is what I like to call the ‘Sweet 16 Second Chance’. This feature gives both radio stations and casinos the option of adding a second contest covering the last four rounds of play. This is not only a great way to get contestants that may have missed the first round engaged, it gives all participants a second chance to win big.”
