AQB GAMING™ Sports app portfolio

Acquisitions, partnerships and native builds make up the offering from AQB Gaming™ enabling sports fans to make every game bigger
 
CARLSBAD, CA. – January 8, 2019 - Everyone is an ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK™.  Everyone knows what the next play is going to be – or should have been!  Now football fans have their opportunity to predict each and every play real-time during NFL and NCAA football games. ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK™ beta is live and available in the Apple App and Google Play Stores. Football enthusiasts and their friends are invited to download, play and compete.

“With 135 million people watching the NFL, 179 million people watching college football, and 75 million people playing fantasy leagues, the time and opportunity is right to create simple gaming platforms that leverage powerful psychology and tap lucrative markets.” said Steven Gintowt, Founder and CEO of AQB Gaming. “The current fantasy sports marketplace is overly complicated, leaves out the average fan and distracts from the game on the field. We have created a new niche that compliments fantasy games, is simple for the most novice fan and keeps viewers engaged with the game on the field.”

AQB Gaming spent 2018 developing backend infrastructure, acquiring assets and testing the new gaming platform. Development partners include Clearbridge Mobile (Toronto) and Crossfield Development (New York), with marketing partners including Adrenalin Design Group (Denver) and Weck Enterprises (New York).

In June of this year, AQB Gaming acquired all the assets, including the “SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SCORING COMPETITIVE STRATEGY PREDICTIONS OF USERS ON A PLAY-BY-PLAY BASIS” patent of the former PrePlay Sports app and formed a partnership with Crossfield Digital to utilize PrePlay game assets and experience to bolster the ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK™ backend.

“This has been a true team effort, every one of our partners has contributed in a meaningful way.” said Bouker Pool, CMO of AQB Gaming. “We know we have the best of the best working toward an amazing product and player experience.”

ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK™ will be available for all NFL playoff games and the Super Bowl. AQB Gaming has plans to extend the ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK franchise to baseball in Spring 2019.

The AQB Gaming platform also includes AQB SPORTSPICKS™ - a fantasy sports app combining Vegas-style picks with the competitive head-to-head nature of classic fantasy.  Using Vegas-style odds to make picks without risking real money is fun and makes relevant all the sports betting content in the market.  These weekly games cover the ongoing NBA season and will be available again for the 2019 NFL season.  The NBA game uses a unique and challenging skill-level ranking system where players level-up or are relegated down based on points accumulated. This app is live and available in the Apple App and Google Play Stores.

AQB SPORTSPICKS™ is the former SIDELINE Fantasy Sports app developed by Tyler Eshraghi, David Haupt and Thomas Boettner and acquired in August. The game was rebranded AQB SPORTSPICKS™ and went live to previous year’s players at the start of the NFL season, the NBA platform launched with NBA opening night.

“AQB SPORTSPICKS™ is the perfect companion to ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK™, allowing us to engage with sports fans intensively on game day and every other day of the week.” Said Gintowt. “With football, basketball, and baseball products, we have year-round engagement with fans of every passion and fill a gap in the sports technology ecosystem.”

AQB games are a true ‘second screen’ experience and compliment traditional & daily fantasy sports.
