Sunderland Picks is a unique app in which unlike traditional sports betting sites, there are no odds presented before games. Instead, every match offers a series of questions, from which fans predict the outcome for the chance to win the prize pool.

“The Sunderland AFC app is an exciting new platform for our fans. It allows them to keep updated with the latest news, content, watch live games and even visit the club store while on the move,” says the club’s head of media, Oscar Chamberlain.

“One addition to the new app is it also gives fans the chance to pick the outcomes for every match through Sunderland Picks. The ‘Picks’ game is giving fans an extra dimension to their matchday experience. It’s great to see that so many of our own fans have won cash prizes from a totally free to enter game.”

Sunderland Picks allows supporters to compete against each other and feel involved, despite matches being held behind closed doors while the UK remains in lockdown. A minimum £1,000 prize pool is up for grabs, adding a real thrill to the match day experience.

And you don’t have to get every prediction right to win a prize; it’s not just a winner-takes-all game. Instead, the prize is shared among those with the highest number of points.

So far, 162 prizes have been handed out in nine contests, with 145 winners sharing £9,000 in total prizes. The average win was £55 – with the biggest win being £500 to date.

Positive feedback from previous winners includes this from username Viper1990, who won in December 2020: “I was over the moon. Couldn’t believe I’d won a prize. It’s great. Adds extra spice when watching Sunderland games.”

“It’s great to be working with Sunderland AFC, I understand how difficult it’s been with no fans in stadiums and the only way you can engage is through modern day technology," says Peter Johnson, account manager for Sunderland Picks.

"So for Sunderland AFC to have their official app with Sunderland Picks game incorporated makes it a great way to interact with fans and give supporters a new element to the current matchday experience.

"The most important factor of the Picks game is keeping fans engaged with their beloved football clubs. It’s a bonus that fans can play for free and win up to £1000 prize pool each game.”
