Hours
1 to 2 hours per week maximum, adding AFL games/rounds and results throughout the season.
Reason for Sale

About the Business
AFL Tipping Comp is a custom-built, mobile-first website where AFL supporters can create private competitions for friends, families, workplaces and community groups.
Launched just two weeks before the 2026 AFL season, it now hosts more than 50 private competitions and around 220 registered users.
A sister NRL tipping site built on the same platform has grown to more than 250 competitions and 1,300 users. This demonstrates the platform’s potential with a full pre-season marketing campaign.
Hundreds of hours have been invested in developing the tipping system, automated ladders, mobile interface and administration tools.
The website is largely automated and straightforward to operate. Participants submit their tips, check results and follow the competition ladder. Competition owners do not need to calculate results, update ladders or manage technical functions.
The website owner manages fixtures, results, users, competitions, advertising and settings through a central administration area. The platform can be managed by phone, with detailed administration tools also available on desktop.
Participants generally return once or twice each week during the AFL season to enter tips, check results and view their ladder position.
Free accounts display banner advertising, with approximately 30,000 ads served during the 2026 season. These placements could promote the buyer’s business, attract sponsors or provide advertising income.
Paid competition upgrades are the primary revenue opportunity. Features include:
Removal of banner advertising
Custom competition header image
Increased participant limits
Competition chat
Additional premium features
With the platform now tested through an AFL season, the buyer has an opportunity to refine the pricing and upgrade tiers and begin marketing well before the 2027 season.
