Game Day Bingo · NBA, WNBA & college · Beta
Put Game Day Bingo on a TV next to the basketball game. Every guest gets a card of basketball plays on their phone, and the squares mark themselves as the plays happen: a three, a dunk, a block, an and-one. The first cards to finish a line win whatever prize you set.
Part of the $49/mo plan for every game. Free for 30 days. No credit card.
How it runs
Open Game Day Bingo on a TV and pick the game from the schedule. The screen counts down to tip-off and shows a big QR code.
Everyone scans with their phone and gets their own card of basketball plays, with squares named for tonight's two teams. No app, no sign-up.
Every play that settles a square marks it on every card, on the phones and the TV. The first cards to make each winning pattern are crowned on screen.
On the TV and the phone

When a square happens, its word bursts onto the TV and the winners board shows how close the room is to the next bingo. A blowout still has a race on every card.

There is no caller and no paper. The game reads the live play-by-play and marks every card for you, and the winners are checked automatically. The phone's Plays tab lists every square that happened, with the play as it was called.
What's on the card
Every card mixes plays that happen in nearly every game with a few long shots, measured on 200 NBA, 67 WNBA and 120 college games. With a full bar, the first line usually lands about a third of the way into the game.
Each league gets its own card: the WNBA has no dunk square (dunks are rare there), college cards leave out what its feed never records, and only NBA cards have “hit 100”.
The NBA plays late October to June, the WNBA May to October, and college basketball November through March Madness.
Pricing
Game Day Bingo is part of the one plan for every game at your bar. Free for the first 30 days, and you keep $49 for as long as you stay.
Questions
NBA, WNBA and men's college basketball games from the schedule, playoffs and March Madness included. Pick the game on the TV before tip-off, and the cards are made for that league and those two teams.
Yes. A guest who joins late gets a card with the plays so far already marked, or a blank card if you prefer. It is one setting.
No. The squares mark themselves from the live play-by-play. You can switch to players marking their own cards and calling BINGO if you prefer, and a claim is still checked against the game.
No. The game runs slightly behind the live broadcast by design, and a hold setting lets you wait longer if your TV feed runs behind.
Game Day Bingo is included in Nightcap's $49 per venue per month plan for every game, with a free 30-day trial and no card to start. It is in beta while bars try it.
No. It is free to play, like a trivia night. The prizes are yours to set, such as a round or a bucket of wings, and no one pays to play.
