For hospitality & venues
Run your tipping comp on your venue's brand, not someone else's app.
Pubs, sports bars, clubs — Fanzava builds a branded tipping competition that lives at your venue, captures your customer data, and gives you back the regulars who've been signing up to someone else's app for years.

The challenge
You know this challenge.
The tipping comp that's running on someone else's brand.
Your regulars sign up through a generic tipping app. The leaderboard is branded as the app, not the venue. You've built an audience that belongs to a platform you don't control.
The customer database you can't build.
The app collected the email addresses. The app knows who's been tipping every week. You don't get to email those regulars about Tuesday trivia, the new menu, or finals night — because they're not your contacts, they're the app's.
The gambling-adjacent funnel running through your bar.
Most of the major tipping apps are run by sportsbooks. Every time a regular taps the QR code at your bar, they're walking into a gambling operator's product. Some venues are fine with that. A lot of clubs and family-friendly venues aren't.
What changes
What changes when a venue runs on Fanzava.
A tipping comp that's branded as your venue, end to end.
Your logo on the leaderboard, your colours on the screen, your domain on the link. The regulars know whose comp they're playing in.
A customer database that's actually yours.
Every tipper, every email, every phone number — captured by you, owned by you. Use it for the Tuesday night promo, the finals function, the new chef. The audience belongs to the venue.
A regular crowd that knows each other.
Tipping competitions build the thing pubs are actually trying to build — regulars who recognise each other from the leaderboard, shared banter across the season, the kind of in-the-venue community that brings people back without a promotion.

Due diligence
Questions venues ask.
How do we move our existing tippers across from the app we're on now?
Most of the major tipping apps — Footy Tips, ESPN Bracket Challenge, sportsbook-run free comps — don't allow you to export your member list. The honest path is a fresh invite. We'll help you set up a branded sign-up link and a QR code for the bar, and your regulars opt in once. After that they're yours, in your database, on your branded experience.
Do members need to download an app, or can they tip from their phone browser?
Browser-only — no app, no install. Members scan the QR code at the bar (or follow a link), sign up in under a minute, and tip from their phone for the rest of the season. The same browser experience runs on iOS and Android; nothing to download, nothing to update.
Can we put our sponsors' logos and prizes on the leaderboard?
Yes. Sponsor placements appear on leaderboards, in round reminder emails, in results emails, in the weekly digest, and in mobile banners — every paid plan includes self-serve creative upload. Configure prizes in the admin panel and the prize attribution carries through to members so they know which sponsor is backing the pot.
Can we run tipping for multiple sports at once during the season overlap?
Yes. The Free plan runs one competition at a time, which suits most single-venue starts. When AFL and NRL overlap (or any other code combination), Starter handles three concurrent competitions and Pro handles ten. Your venue runs both, both leaderboards live in parallel, members can join one or both.
