“A Call to Action for the Most Devoted Fans”

The free-to-play game will be a component of the “Win Ohio” statewide promotion Tipico is launching to commemorate the imminent debut of its sports betting platform on January 1, 2023 and to reward sports enthusiasts in the Buckeye State.

Adrian Vella, chief executive officer of Tipico US, hailed the launch of the campaign and the free-to-play game as “a call to action for the diehard Ohio sports fans.” 

These fans can finally enjoy “memorable, personalized experiences” provided by “a platform that shares their passion for betting on sports.” 

By participating in a scratch-and-win contest, sports fans can earn sportsbook bonuses, free bets, and fan experiences within the operator’s mobile app by playing Tipico’s free-to-play game, which is accessible at www.winhio.com.

Contest Featuring NFL and College Football 

“Win Ohio” will offer four new weekly opportunities, including NFL Monday Night Football, NFL Thursday Night Football, College Saturday, and NFL Sunday. Players will receive points for every successful pick on the contest’s leaderboard, which will be displayed on the contest homepage alongside their total winnings and entries.

Each week of participation will be rewarded with a $10 free bet and weekly prizes based on the leaderboard positions: first place will receive $500, second place will receive $250, and third place will receive $100 in bonus money. The remaining top 100 participants will each receive a $50 bonus.

Participants will also earn entries into Tipico’s Grand Prize Sweepstakes, a competition that will award 10 winners with a $1,500 prize package of unmatched experiences in Ohio. Winners will get a chance to experience luxury accommodations, five-star dining experiences, premium tickets to sporting events in the state, and VIP concert tickets. The package is also redeemable for Tipico bonus money.

The launch of “Win Ohio” before the official launch of sports betting in Ohio is the latest piece of Tipico’s roadmap. The operator’s market entry plan began to take shape in January when the sportsbook operator partnered with the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer to become the team’s official and exclusive sports betting partner. As part of the arrangement with the Columbus Crew, Tipico was granted the right to launch its mobile sports betting app whenever the state legalizes sports betting.
