Australia’s biggest tipping platform ESPNfootytips celebrates its 25th anniversary ahead of a huge season of NRL and AFL.
From humble beginnings in 1999, ESPNfootytips has grown to become an institution among tippers and is now Australia’s largest sports tipping and fantasy game platform with over one million active tippers.
ESPNfootytips has increased from three sports to fifteen, now covering AFL, NRL, NBA, NFL, NBL, Super Rugby, A-League and more, boasting highly engaged users across both online and mobile platforms.
To celebrate ESPNfootytips 25-year anniversary, ESPN has unveiled a new marketing campaign.
This campaign highlights the many tipping competitions that have existed within households, workplaces and relationships over the last 25 years for tipping bragging rights.
The promo features avid ESPNfootytipster Deb Jenkins, the champion of Harrison’s Accounting Tipping Competition since 1999. The campaign details her friendly rivalry with husband Tony and son Dale – an example of the many family battles that exist across Australia every footy season.
ESPN’s digital audience remains well served with a significant local content offering throughout Australia for the start of the new AFL and NRL seasons.
New in 2024, ESPN’s editorial, digital content and the ESPN Podcast network has been integrated into the ESPNfootytips App, ensuring sports fans in-depth preview, review and analysis each week as they ponder over their tipping choices.
