Remember how everything used to come with a handy-dandy printed out booklet of how-to information? Well this is the digital version of that for EatWatchPlay. We’re stoked you’re here and hope you stay with us for a long time.
Why
We frequently get asked why we built this unique combination of sports predictor and local business rewards app. We feel there should be a FREE, engaging, rewarding, gamified sports experience that incentivizes people to spend their hard-earned money supporting the local economy (instead of losing it in the black hole that is sports betting). We hope you agree!
PLAYs
PLAY Tokens (PLAYs) are our in-app currency. You earn them in our contests and redeem them by taking pictures of receipts at different businesses (viewable from the Locations tab). At in-network businesses (orange logo on the map), 50 PLAYs are worth $5. At out-of-network businesses, 50 PLAYs are worth $2. You can find more info by hitting ‘Redeem’ under ‘PLAY Tokens’ on the Rewards tab (furthest to the right in the app footer).
Want a business to be in-network so you get more money for your TFPs? Ask a manager or owner to email us at info@eatwatchplay.com.
Contests
Streak
Streak is the simplest way to get to the big money. At least once per day (sometimes twice or even three times), make a pick under ‘Streak for Cash’ on the Dashboard. Every pick you get correct adds one to your score, every incorrect pick starts you over at 0. If you get to 10 you get 250 PLAYs (this has happened many times). If you get to 20, you get $100 (we’ve had multiple winners).
Check-In Bonus: See the link that says ‘Check in for a weekly bonus point’? If you click on that, and you’re sitting in one of the bars we partner with (you can see a map on the Locations tab), we’ll double your points for that day. Get it right, get 2. Get it wrong, still back to 0. You can do this once per week.
Pick-to-Win
You can access all Pick-to-Win contests from the Contests tab (second icon from the left in the app footer). In Pick-to-Win contests you answer multiple choice questions on upcoming sports games, earn points for every answer you get right, and earn PLAYs based on how many points you get. Most contests have a Tiebreaker. This will be a numerical answer, closest to the Tiebreaker determines leaderboard ranking for any users who get the same amount of points.
Quick 6
You can access all Quick 6 contests from the Contests tab (second icon from the left in the app footer). In Quick 6 contests you answer multiple choice questions on upcoming sports games, earn points for every answer you get right, and earn 10 PLAYs if you get 6+ points. We also provide a PLAYs bonus for the overall winner.
Daily Picks
The Daily Picks contest will have a title in this format: date-date: Daily Picks. Hit Join Contest, make your picks, and then check back in each day that week to continue adding to your score. New questions to answer are added roughly every 24 hours, points add up over the course of the week, and PLAYs are awarded at the end of the week. You can join any day, points wipe clean each Monday morning for the new week.
Sport-Specific Predictors
We run Predictors for most major sports. Here’s a sampling of what you’ll see:
MLB, NFL, NCAAF, IndyCar, NASCAR, F1, NBA, NHL, Premier League, Golf Majors, Tennis Majors
Simply Join Contest from the Contests tab and make those Picks by the Start Time of the contest (a timer will countdown on the Dashboard).
Partner-Sponsored
These are Predictors that are sponsored by a 3rd Party (e.g. Bud Light Rams @ Colts). These contests typically come with a check-in bonus earned by checking in via GPS at one of the partner-sponsored location. You can check-in from the Contest card (shows up on your Dashboard after joining the Contest from the Contests tab).
Locations
The Locations tab (middle on the app footer) will display all the places where you can both check-in and redeem PLAYs as part of EatWatchPlay games. There are a couple types:
Out-of-Network
Denoted by a blue location symbol, these are businesses that have been requested by our users but have not agreed to be official EatWatchPlay partners. You can still check in for Streak, and turn in PLAYs for cash back off receipts, but they will have a lower value.
In-Network
Denoted by an orange EatWatchPlay logo, these are businesses that are official EatWatchPlay partners. You can check in for Streak, Cash, and turn in PLAYs for cash back off receipts at a higher value.
Want a business to be in-network so you get more money for your PLAYs? Ask a manager or owner to email us at info@thefansplace.com.
Partner Location
Denoted by the logo of the partner, these are businesses that are sponsored by a 3rd party. You can check in for Streak, bonuses on Sponsored Contests, and turn in PLAYs for cash back off receipts at a higher value.
