The Big Leagues Launches Sports-Focused Prize Draw Platform For UK Market

The Big Leagues has officially launched its sports-focused prize draw platform in the UK, offering users the opportunity to win prizes through paid draws and free-to-play prediction games.

The platform offers sports-related rewards including holidays, hospitality packages, season tickets and ownership shares in racehorses.

Users can purchase tickets directly through The Big Leagues’ prize draw platform or earn free entries by participating in free-to-play prediction games based on the outcomes of major sporting events.

£500,000 Seed Funding Supports Launch

The Big Leagues was founded by Adam Shaw, who has 15 years of experience in the betting and gaming industry.

Shaw most recently served as chief revenue officer at Superbet and previously held the position of international director at Flutter Entertainment.

The company’s proprietary technology platform was developed in-house by Hunch co-founders Daniel Williams and Alexander Wall, who specialise in sports gamification and fan engagement.

The launch follows a £500,000 seed funding raise, with The Big Leagues now exploring further strategic investment opportunities as it looks to grow its online community.

The Big Leagues Targets Sports Partnerships

Alongside further investment, the operator is seeking partnerships with brands, sports organisations and charities looking for new ways to engage and monetise their audiences.

The company is also looking to collaborate with sports inventory suppliers as it develops its range of prizes and experiences.

Adam Shaw, founder of The Big Leagues, said:

“The prize draw market is missing a real challenger brand who puts the sports fan first and provides them with a genuine reason to return. With The Big Leagues, we’re offering them the chance to win prizes they genuinely want within a frictionless user journey.

“Through our attractive prize draws and wide range of free-to-play prediction games across multiple sports, we’re building a community that brings sports fans together for increased entertainment. We're incredibly ambitious and are keen to explore further investment and partnerships that will accelerate our business growth.”
