SPORTS PICKERHow it works
Pick a pool to sponsor
Sponsor the local high school pool, a town-wide NFL pick'em, or your own pool. We help you set it up.
Put up a gift-certificate prize
A gift certificate for the weekly winner and a bigger one for the season champion. Winners redeem it with you.
Get seen all season
Your name and logo show on the pool page, the standings and the weekly recap emails, every week of the season.
Ways to use it
Gift certificates
The simplest prize, and it brings winners in to spend it, often with a friend.
Featured and local listings
Featured pools are spotlighted for everyone, and local pools show up for people within 50 miles.
Squares for the big game
Sponsor a free Super Bowl or rivalry-game squares board with prizes every quarter.
Sponsored messages
Show a clearly labeled message to players in the leagues you choose, like local high school football.
Your own branded pool
Run a pool for your customers with your logo and colors, and invite them in-store with a QR code.
Support local teams
Sponsor the school or booster club pool and get thanked in front of every family that plays.
Sponsored contests done right

Entry must be free and open to everyone. Never require a purchase to enter or to win.
Official rules
Every sponsored pool has official rules naming the sponsor, the prize, its value and how to claim it.

Questions
What does sponsoring cost?
It depends on the pool, the season and where it is listed. Send us the form and we will put together options.
Can I sponsor more than one pool?
Yes. Sponsor a pool per sport, per season, or one in each town you serve.
Do I get the players' contact information?
No. Players' details stay private. You get your name in front of local fans, and winners come to you.
