Fans will be able to make predictions on NFL, NBA, MLB and college football games to win cash and prizes.

Simplebet has launched Playbook, a direct-to-customer free-to-play game. 

This is the first in-game wagering experience of its kind, implementing the use of micro-betting technology so sports aficionados can make live predictions. Fans will have access to this on iOS and Android and will be able to predict outcomes for NFL, NBA, MLB and college football matchups. Playbook will also offer live predictions on the outcomes of pitches and at-bats, field goals and kickoffs or plays and drives, to showcase the future of in-game betting. 

Fans can use Playbook from home or in the stands to earn coins, win prizes, and make predictions on every moment of every game. 

The company enables sports betting operators, media companies, and technology companies to enhance live sports by offering engaging experiences in real-time with their proprietary automated operations platform.  

Simplebet was co-founded in 2018 by Chris Bevilacqua, Joey Levy, and Scott Marshall, and is the technology company pioneering micro-betting and fan engagement for US sports. 

“What’s been missing across the sports betting landscape is an easily accessible, in-game product, which gives sports fans around the country the ability to wager on individual moments in real time,” said Chris Bevilacqua, Co-Founder and CEO of Simplebet.  

“It’s why we’re so excited about the launch of Playbook. With the NFL playoffs approaching, the NBA season in full swing and college football bowl season about to kick off, we’re thrilled to bring fans an innovative, mobile first product that will be available everywhere at the peak of the sports calendar.”
