NFBC Implements Loyalty Program To Seven 2025 Contests

[Greg Ambrosius]

We are pleased to announce today a new program designed to reward our loyal customers who helped us finish 2025 as a record-breaking season. We had a record year in total revenue and we will award a record $5.1+ million in prizes this year. Thanks everyone.

In addition to the opportunity to win the published and guaranteed prizes within each of our contests, our aim is always to ensure our customers have fun and want to return to play with us again in the future. With that in mind, we are rolling out a new NFBC Customer Loyalty Rewards program, which allows customers to earn future game credits. The contests listed below all sold out and exceeded our expectations and thus will have rewards available for teams that meet the winning criteria laid out for each of the contests. Loyalty Rewards will be issued in the form of credits towards future game play on our platform, including baseball, football, and/or basketball contests. In fact, we'll be awarding more than $42,000 in Loyalty Rewards Credits this season.

These contests will end slightly sooner than the regular contests, most after Week 25, two weeks before the end of the regular season. In one instance, the NFBC Cutline Championship, it had never rewarded the regular season top teams before and we'll now be able to do that through this program after Week 16. There are reasons for this format within this program, so if you have any questions feel free to email me at [email protected]. The credits are also a benefit to our players, which I can explain.

Anyway, thanks to a great season, here are the Customer Loyalty Reward payouts:

Shouldn’t these rewards go to teams who finish just out of the money at the end of the regular season? For example 4th place finishers in a Main Event league?

That sounds like a participation trophy. We're trying to reward the best teams, just like we have in past years when contests sell out. And unfortunately there's a reason for our madness with these contests ending two weeks earlier. Hope that helps.

Just a reminder that we had SEVEN NFBC National Championships that exceeded our goals this year and thus there's more wealth for everyone to enjoy. Because of some legal issues, we have decided to reward these prizes after Week 25 in many of our contests, so this is a BIG WEEKEND for a lot of you.

We have already paid out the excess prizes for the NFBC Cutline Championship, but here's what is on the line for this weekend. Good luck everyone:
