UK law blocks live football on TV from 2:45 to 5:15 on Saturdays. Fans stay home with a radio and a phone.
The acca is the most fun part of a Saturday — and the pub gets none of it. Punters bet on their phones and the money leaves the room.
The blackout bans footage — not scores. Pub Pitch puts every 3pm game live on your TV as data: scores, goals, corners, cards, as they happen. Fully legal. Then it gives the acca to the pub, with drinks, deals and offers as the prize.
Scan the TV and 100 points land. Put all 100 on a home/draw/away call across two or more 3pm games. Every game you add multiplies the return. Land it and spend the points at the bar.
Walk in, scan the QR on the screen. That's your clock-in — 100 points, no app to install.
Home, draw or away on any two or more 3pm games. Skip the ones you're not sure on.
The stake is always your 100 clock-in points. Two games might return 300. Five could return 4,000.
Every score, live, on the pub TV. Your calls turn green as they land. Mid-game offers fire for the whole room.
Land it and the points are yours. Spend tonight or save for next Saturday. Top 3 in the room take the podium.
The QR sits on the live screen all afternoon. Every scan is a clock-in the landlord can see.
Thirty seconds to play. Pubs that want more can switch on Full mode — scorers, corners, cards, assists — from the landlord screen.
You set the rewards, we run the game. A one-pick slip is easy to land and worth a pint. A seven-pick slip is a proper acca — and worth a round. Every rung is a reason to stay for one more.
Plus event triggers that fire automatically from the live feed:
The 3pm blackout blocks footage, not data. Twenty-two shirts move on live positional data, every stat ticks, and the venue's own offer sits alongside — armed, then live when it hits, then the next one builds. Watch it cycle.
The screen sits on your own photography with your logo in the corner. Live scores on one side, your offers and bar prices on the other, all at once. Here's The Bell in Fetcham — a Young's pub — on a Saturday at 3pm.
All eight 3pm games as tiles. The one with a goal flashes into the hero slot with corner and card counts.
First names, picks landed, reward if held. Updates on every goal so the room reacts together.
What to call and what you win. Landed offers light up. The pub logo sits here — small.
Rules you set — "after any goal", "on a red card", "at half-time" — fire on screen for a set time.
A stamp card gets scanned once a visit. Pub Pitch gets opened forty times a Saturday — every goal, every corner. Every player is a signed-in regular you can reach next week.
Every venue gets a launch kit: bar runners, beer mats with the QR, an A-board and staff tees — so the game is visible before anyone looks at the TV.
Pub Pitch is a free prize competition. There's no stake, no entry fee, and no cash prize — rewards are drinks and food from the venue. Under the UK Gambling Act, a competition with free entry isn't a lottery or betting.
The Saturday blackout only restricts live footage. Live scores, goal alerts, corner and card counts are data — the same as a phone app or the radio — and are fully legal to show on a pub TV at 3pm. Pub Pitch never shows footage during the window.
Venues should confirm prize-competition wording with their own advisers. Drink rewards are subject to responsible-service rules and the venue's discretion.
A Fire TV stick, a QR code and your offers. We'll have you live for next Saturday's 3pm.
