Incentive Games, the games industry’s leading free-to-play developer, has once again teamed up with bet365 to launch an astonishing $10 million jackpot for the 2023 NCAA Championship.
A leaderboard and prizes will also be available based on points earned for correct predictions, paying the top 5,000 leaderboard places. The predictor game, which is free to play, simply challenges users to predict results during March’s legendary NCAA tournament with a top prize of $100,000 up for grabs but a perfect bracket wins up to $10,000,000.
The Mega Market Bracket Challenge game is free-to-play to all new and eligible customers in New Jersey, Virginia, Colorado, Ohio, Mexico and New Zealand. Customers must be aged over 21 and verified for entry by bet365. One entry per person.
“This is yet another slam dunk game for bet365, to help the brand stand out and acquire new customers in North America,” the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Incentive Games, John Gordon, said. “I am particularly pleased with the ground-breaking UX/UI; well-done Incentive Games and bet365 design and product teams. Nothing but net!”
“Every expert is giving their opinion but now it’s your chance to predict the outcome of this Mega March Bracket Challenge,” a spokesperson for bet365 said. “The build-up to this iconic championship is exciting enough and we hope the prospect of potentially winning a $10 million only enhances that excitement. Be sure to check the bet365 leaderboard as games pass and good luck to all bet365 customers.”

Boldplay™ to make U.S. debut after signing exclusive partnership deal with BetMGM
Boldplay™, the casino software supplier, has announced its much-anticipated U.S. debut after teaming up with BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, and providing its first set of games Cyborg City, Toro Bravo™, and Gold Metal Ox™.
The new partnership will see Boldplay’s extensive collection of innovative video slots, table games, virtual scratch and keno titles become available to customers in the U.S. market for the very first time, enabling countless players to experience the brand’s signature range of bonus features and jackpots.
Notable highlights to come out of the studio include Boldplay Spins™ – a unique twist on Free Spins that sees the reels spin both vertically and horizontally to create more winning pay lines – and the brand’s flagship jackpot, the Boldplay Superpot™, which gives players of all bankroll levels a chance to win big.
The exclusive nature of the deal will also see BetMGM gain a significant market advantage in the U.S., where it will initially be the only platform able to offer Boldplay™ games. Given these titles have already garnered plenty of critical acclaim from players and operators across Europe, their presence at BetMGM will be a huge draw and will help the platform further enhance its standing in the industry.
This latest collaboration represents another significant step in Boldplay’s evolution from up-and-coming studio to one of the industry’s most sought-after software providers and will allow the brand to extend its reach into new regulated markets – a move CEO, Valli Fragoso, is clearly optimistic about.
“Boldplay™ is thrilled to announce that we’re teaming up with BetMGM in an exclusive partnership that will see our games be made available in the U.S. for the very first time,” she said. “By joining forces with such a prestigious operator, we’ll be able to raise the profile of our brand in the country as we continue to expand and we’re looking forward to what should be a hugely successful collaboration.”
