Tipico, a leading global sportsbook operator, today announced its in-app competition and suite of promotions for the 2023 March Madness tournament. 

Tipico will post a national leaderboard to be updated after each round of the tournament based on the scoring results of the previous round. At the conclusion of the tournament, the leaderboard’s highest scorer will receive a grand prize of $100 Weekly Bet Credits in the Tipico app for one calendar year. Additionally, nine runners up and individual state winners in Ohio, Iowa, New Jersey, and Colorado will each win $20 Weekly Bet Credits for one calendar year.

Furthermore, Tipico will provide a select number of its VIP user base with a mix of rewards including free bets and deposit matches at the outset of the tournament. VIPs will be identified as users who have demonstrated a commitment to NCAAB betting with Tipico throughout the 2022-2023 season. As the tournament advances, engaged users will be rewarded with $20 NCAAM protected bets to be leveraged in the following rounds.

“March Madness is a celebration unlike any other, one that combines unparalleled competition, underdog storylines, and drama that reminds us why we love college sports,” said Adrian Vella, Tipico U.S. CEO. “We are incredibly proud to unveil this contest and promotions to provide fans with a superior sportsbook experience as the college basketball season culminates. While the odds of creating a “perfect bracket” are next to none, game and prop bet odds on Tipico allow bettors to fully personalize their tournament-watching experience.”

Tipico has also introduced “The Shot,” a March Madness Tournament streaming show featuring legendary Duke University NCAA Champion and NBA All-Star Christian Laettner. The show will feature game previews and analysis, as Laettner will break down predictions alongside host and sports media personality Lauren Jbara.
