Scratch, Match,  & Win Video Reveal

One of our personal favorite sports promotion ideas! 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 to feature your prize and your sponsor’s logos along with a custom coupon offer. Distribute the cards prior to the game, instructing fans to “scratch” off their cards and watch the video board at halftime. If the numbers on the fan’s card match the ones revealed on a customized video playback, a lucky spectator will win the big bucks, and Odds On will be there to pay for the prize.
