For Businesses
Your next regulars
already have a club.
Partner with a sports club and its fans can find your business and your deal in the Game Set Engage app. Barbers, cafés, gyms, shops, pubs. Any business with a door can join, and you only pay for the visits you confirm.
A partnership that only costs money when it works

See where your business fits.
Game day comes first. After the final whistle, fans get a haircut, grab a coffee, go to the gym, and those businesses can partner with their club. Here is the whole loop in 90 seconds, told from the club’s side: the club sets the fee, and you only pay it for visits you confirm.
Your staff confirm visits in the Game Set Engage Venues app. Get it on the App Store. Coming soon to Google Play.
The opportunity
Fans need a haircut and a coffee far more often than they need a big screen.
Supporters spend most of the week away from the ground. They get a trim, grab a coffee, go to the gym, wash the car. Any business they can walk into can partner with their club. You don’t need a screen, a licence or a single match on TV. Sign up with your Google Maps listing and you’re in.
Your own deals do the steady work. You pick the days they run, the club approves them, and its fans claim them at your counter all season. When the club runs a check-in for one of its events, whether that’s a match, a fan meetup, an open training session or a charity day, you can join it with an extra offer. Each club sets its own point values and can make a check-in at your place worth more than one from anywhere else.
The club doesn’t have to be the team down the road, either. Partner with any club on the platform, in any sport and any country. The club doesn’t need to be near you; its fans do. A café in Toronto can become the regular spot for a Portuguese club’s supporters, and one gym can partner with a rugby side, a cricket club and a volleyball team at the same time.
Your business, your offer and your location show up in the Game Set Engage app for fans near you, and inside the check-in campaigns you join, for every club you partner with.
How the partnership works
Three sides, one deal.
Every confirmed visit pays off for the club, for the fan and for you.
Clubs get revenue & data
Clubs earn a fee they set on every check-in and offer redemption you confirm, and see which partner businesses their fans visit. Those are numbers they can take to sponsors.
Fans get points & perks
Clubs can make a check-in at your business worth more points than one from anywhere else, and your offer (a free coffee, 15% off a trim, a discount on the bill) makes the trip worth it.
Businesses get foot traffic
Fans find you in their club's campaigns and in your own standing deals, walk in, and spend. You pay only for visits you confirm.
Where a check-in happens changes what it’s worth.
Clubs set their own point values per campaign, so they can reward showing up: most at the stadium, and more at a partner business than from anywhere else.
How it works
From sign-up to your first fan through the door.
Sign up online
About 5 minutes with your Google Maps listing. No paperwork, no interviews, no screens or licence needed.
Ask clubs to partner
Your business is active once you sign up, so you can ask any club on the platform, down the road or across a border. Each club's team decides for itself.
Set your deals
Once a club approves you, publish your own deals on the days you pick (the club OKs each one by default) and add an extra offer to its event check-ins.
Confirm visits
A fan at your counter shows a QR code in their app; you approve it in yours. You only ever pay for visits you've confirmed.
What you get
What your partnership includes.
Listed where the club's fans look
Your name, your offer and your location appear inside the check-in campaigns you join, for every club you partner with.
Standing deals on the days you choose
Publish your own offers to a club's fans once it approves your partnership. Pick the weekdays, set the deal, add start and end dates if you want them. By default the club OKs each offer first.
Extra offers for club events
When a club runs a check-in for one of its events, join it with an offer of your own, like 20% off, a free drink or a group discount.
As many clubs as you like
Partner with clubs in any sport, near or far. Each one approves you separately, and every fee lands on one monthly invoice.
A dashboard for your business
Track confirmed check-ins by day and by hour, how many different fans came in, and which campaigns and offers bring people through the door.
Room for your team
Give managers, finance and counter staff their own logins, and run up to 200 locations from one account.
What one week could look like
A neighbourhood café, partnered with a hockey club and a volleyball club.
*Hypothetical example for illustration. Your numbers depend on your offer, the clubs you partner with and their fans. Each club sets the fee you pay for each check-in and deal redemption you confirm. When a club holds its own event at your business, fans check in there by location, so those check-ins carry no fee.

FAQ
Common questions from businesses.
A fee, set by each club, for every check-in and offer redemption you confirm. There are no setup fees, no monthly subscription and no minimum commitment, so you only pay when a fan shows up and you confirm the visit. Game Set Engage sends you one invoice a month.
Any business with a physical location and a Google Maps listing. That covers barbers, salons, gyms, cafés, car washes, shops, hotels, bowling alleys, restaurants and pubs. If fans can walk in and your staff can confirm the visit, it works. Online-only shops can’t take part, because every deal is claimed in person.
No. There’s no screen, licence or broadcast requirement. Your own deals run on the days you pick, and fans claim them in person whether or not there’s a game on. Club events aren’t only matches either. If a club holds a fan meetup, an open training session or a charity day, you can join that check-in too.
A fan at your counter opens the club’s campaign or your deal in the Game Set Engage app and shows you a QR code, and you approve it in the Game Set Engage Venues app. That confirmed visit is what counts. It’s what can earn the fan points, and it’s the only thing you ever pay for.
You choose it yourself, whether that’s a free coffee, 15% off a trim, 20% off the bill or a group discount. Run standing offers on the weekdays you pick, and add a different offer to each club event you join. By default the club approves your standing offers before fans see them.
The clubs you partner with, one at a time. There’s no Game Set Engage review. Sign-up takes about 5 minutes with your Google Maps listing, and your business is active as soon as you finish. Then you ask the clubs you want to work with, and each club’s team approves or declines you for that club only. Fans see your business in the app once at least one club has approved you.
No. You can ask any club on the platform, in any sport, anywhere in the world. A pub in London can host a Turkish club’s expat supporters, and a barber in Cologne can run a deal for Fenerbahçe fans. What matters is that the club’s fans can walk through your door.
About 5 minutes to sign up
Which club’s fans will you meet first?
All it takes is your Google Maps listing. There are no setup fees and no monthly cost, and you only pay for visits you confirm.
