The Problem

“Passive is Boring.”

Watching a game is passive. Younger fans (Gen Z) need a second screen. They want to predict the next play, bet on the outcome, and trash talk. If you don’t give them a tool to do it, they go to Twitter.

Why It Happens

The Broadcast Is Dead.

No Stakes

Watching without skin in the game is boring. Fantasy leagues prove that 'ownership' drives viewership.

Second Screen

Fans are on their phones anyway. Capture that attention with a 'Play Along' app.

Tribalism

Fans want to prove their team is better. 'Fan Battle' leaderboards tap into deep psychological rivalry.

Monetization

Sponsors want more than a logo on a jersey. They want active clicks. Gamification delivers click-throughs.

The Payoff
