888sport Launches Geo-targetted Football Game

888sport has launched the Free Bet Hunt mobile game for football fans to track down free football bets hidden around football stadiums nationwide.

Available to all 888sport members via the 888sport app and mobile website, the Free Bet Hunt game is a football version of the currently popular geo-targeting games. The mobile game shows a map that allows all football fans to find and unlock exclusively free bets that are secretly located around football stadiums across the UK. Once found, fans can claim and make their free pre-match bet all in good time to make kick-off.

With weeks of form guide analysis, transfer window speculation and heated discussions on who will be the teams and players to watch this season, it’s often only just before the game starts on match day that fans begin to get that gut feeling on what the outcome of the big game is going to be. 888sport’s new innovative and unique game is designed to ensure that all fans can also try to make some money as a result.

Free Bet Hunt will be available at Premier League fixtures across the season as well as the stadiums of the four Championship teams sponsored by 888sport: Birmingham City, Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Preston North End. When playing the Free Bet Hunt game, players will be shown a map with the exact free bets location. Free bets can be found outside the stadium, not in the stadium themselves, meaning a ticket to watch the fixture is not required.

Itai Pazner, senior vice president and head of B2C, 888 Holdings commented: “Mobile sports betting is evolving every day and football is one of the most popular sports for live betting with fans regularly wanting to get more involved across the whole match day experience, which is a key focus for 888sport.

“The Free Bet Hunt mobile game is designed to provide football fans with an innovative, interactive way to make their football predictions without taking anything away from the excitement and anticipation surrounding the pre-match buildup. The great thing about this game is that fans don’t necessarily have to be going to the match in order to take part. The initiative is another major step in providing football fans with a fully immersive betting experience and ensuring that no matter the location or time in the day, fans have the opportunity to make their bets around a match day.”
