The operator and free-to-play developer will reward the perfect 2023 NCAA Championship bracket in new prediction game.

Bet365 and Incentive Games have teamed up to challenge basketball fans to accurately predict results during this year’s NCAA men’s tournament. Though a leaderboard and other prizes will be available – based on points earned for any correct prediction – a perfect bracket could earn the $10m jackpot.

The top 5,000 leaderboard places will receive other prizes and payouts, with a prize of $100,000 up for grabs for a less-than-perfect bracket at the top of the board. The Mega March Bracket Challenge game is free-to-play for customers over 21 years of age, and verified for a single entry by bet365, in: New Jersey, Virginia, Colorado, Ohio, Mexico and New Zealand.

John Gordon, CEO and Co-founder of Incentive Games, said, “This is yet another slam dunk game for Bet365, to help the brand stand out and acquire new customers in North America. I am particularly [happy] with the ground-breaking UX/UI. Well done, Incentive and bet365 design and product teams. Nothing but net!”

With 68 collegiate teams and 63 games comprising March Madness 2023, it will be an impressive feat to perfectly predict every win and loss of the tournament, but bet365 sounds optimistic for both their players’ odds and enjoyment of this challenge.

A spokesperson at bet365 said, “Every expert is giving their opinion, but now it’s your chance to predict the outcome of this Mega March Bracket Challenge! The build-up to this iconic championship is exciting enough, and we hope the prospect of potentially winning a $10m only enhances that excitement!”
