Bar SideBets

Why It Works

  • Creates friendly competition that turns a normal game into a social event throughout the bar.
  • Gives customers another reason to choose your bar on game day.
  • Everyone plays free, no skill is required, and everyone has an equal chance to win.
  • No special apps to download.
