Full on game night.
Busy on a Tuesday.
Partner with any club your customers follow, from the team across town to one from another country. Clubs can make a check-in at your bar worth more points than one from anywhere else, and once the club approves them, your own deals run on the nights you pick.
Pay-for-performance, start to finish
The opportunity
Your city is full of fans whose team plays somewhere else.
Your regulars follow the home side. Your city is also full of people who grew up somewhere else: students, expats, families who moved for work. When their team plays, they want a room full of people who care as much as they do, and they’ll cross town to find it.
On Game Set Engage you can ask any club on the platform to partner, in any sport and any country, and each club decides for itself. Once you’re in, clubs can make a check-in at your bar worth more points than one from anywhere else. Each club sets its own values, and fans can bid those points in the club’s auctions. Your offer comes on top.
Your bar appears inside the club’s own campaign, with your name and your offer, in the app fans open for their club. Your standing offers keep you in front of them between games.
Your own deals, any day
Game nights fill themselves. Your deals can fill the rest of the week.
Most bars are packed for the big game and half-empty on a Tuesday. A club’s check-in campaign takes care of the first. For the second, you publish your own deals for the nights you choose. Once the club approves them, its fans find them in the Game Set Engage app.

Pick your days
Once a club approves your partnership, publish a standing offer to its fans. Choose the days of the week it runs, and add start and end dates if you want them. Pause it or change it whenever you like.
The club’s fans see it
Your offer is listed under Deals near you in the Game Set Engage app, for fans around your business who share their location. It stays listed for its whole date range, greyed out on the days it doesn’t run. Fans who follow the club claim it when they walk in.

Confirm it when they walk in
The fan shows a QR code; you confirm it in the Game Set Engage Venues app. You pay the club’s fee only for redemptions you’ve confirmed, and the club can add points on top.

Why sports bars win
The natural home of the away fixture.
Big games, full bar
Big screens and a room full of fellow fans. You already have what a sofa can’t offer, and a club’s check-in campaign plus your offer give fans one more reason to come.
More clubs, more nights
Partner with every club your customers follow: the basketball team across town, the rugby side, a cricket club with a big expat following, a football club from another country. A London bar full of Galatasaray supporters is a partnership waiting to happen.
Club events, too
Clubs run more than games. Fan meetups, season launches and end-of-season parties can have a check-in campaign of their own, and a partner bar can be one of the places fans check in.
Know what’s working
Your dashboard shows confirmed check-ins by day, your busiest hours, how many different fans came in, and which campaigns and offers fill seats.
Your offer, your rules
Offers worth leaving the house for.
There are two kinds of deal. One sits next to your name in each club check-in campaign you join. The other is a standing offer of your own, on the days you choose, which the club approves before it goes live. What works for bars:
10–20% off the tab
The classic. Simple to run, easy for fans to understand, and it grows with the size of the group.
Free pint with a burger
Pair the offer with food and the average spend goes up.
2-for-1 selected drinks
Get the first round in early and the group settles in for the whole game.
Quiet-night special
Wings night, a Monday happy hour, half-price nachos: a standing offer on your slowest night gives regulars a reason to come in between games.

Common questions from sports bars.
There are no setup fees, no monthly subscription and no minimum. You pay a fee, set by each club, for every check-in and offer redemption you confirm at your bar. If no fans come in, you pay nothing. Game Set Engage sends you one invoice a month.
No. Game days bring the biggest crowds, but a bar needs the other nights too. Once a club approves your partnership, you can run standing offers on the days you choose, like a Tuesday wings night or a Monday happy hour. By default the club approves each offer before it goes live. Clubs also run events that aren’t games, such as fan meetups and end-of-season parties, and a partner bar can join the check-in for those as well.
Clubs can make a check-in at a partner bar worth more points than one from anywhere else, and each club sets the values for its own campaigns. Fans also get your offer, whether that’s a pint deal, a food offer or anything else you set. For supporters of a club from another city or country, a bar full of people in the same colours is often what brings them in.
No hardware at all. Fans check in from their own phones: at your bar they show you a QR code in the Game Set Engage app, and you approve it in the Game Set Engage Venues app. No tablets, no till integration, nothing to mount on the wall.
Yes, as many as you like, and they don’t have to be in your city. Partner with the basketball team down the road, the rugby side across town and a club from another country whose expat fans drink at your bar. Each club approves you separately, and you still get one invoice a month.
Whatever works for your bar. Popular offers include 10–20% off the tab, a free pint with a burger, 2-for-1 on selected drinks, or a special on your quietest night. You can set a different deal for each club check-in campaign you join, and run standing offers on the days you choose.
