Tipday will help users discover new tips and new sporting events to bet on, while giving them the chance to make some risk-free money with prizes for the most successful tipsters each month.
To mark the launch, Tipday is giving the users with the most-shared betslips on Facebook and Twitter respectively two free tickets each to the Premier League football game of their choice.
“With more and more people becoming interested in sports betting, we wanted to build the world’s largest sports tipping authority to help provide a fun and social way to learn how to make informed bets,” 180Vita founder Jamie Nevin said.
“Sorts fans love showing off that they know more than their friends, and Tipday lets them show off their expertise and sporting knowledge without having to risk any of their money. Then, when they’re ready to make real-money bets, they will be in the best possible position to do so.”
