INSIDE THE POCKET LAUNCHES FREE-TO-ENTER $100k PRO FOOTBALL SURVIVOR GAME TO PROMOTE BROADER INDUSTRY ADOPTION
Inside The Pocket (ITP), the world’s only free-to-play and pay-to-play (F2P & P2P) aggregation platform, has launched Pro Football Survivor, an exciting new F2P game that offers industry professionals a jaw-dropping $100k prize ($50k to the winner, and a further $50k to their nominated charity) ahead of the upcoming 2023/24 Pro Football season, which gets underway on 7 September.
Pro Football Survivor is aimed at engaging all businesspeople at the intersection of sports betting and business, media and igaming, alongside a wider ecosystem – from leagues to agencies, across hospitality providers, caterers and even restaurants.
The popular Survivor format simply asks all participants to pick a non-reusable team to win every week throughout the entire Regular Season and the Playoffs. This ease of play is the reason for its recognised acquisition and retention strengths around repeat visits and improved dwell-time (as players routinely return to check results and their respective standings against colleagues and friends on the leaderboard, which is settled and updated after each game day).
The competition rules are as follows:
- Register at: https://itpsurvivor.io/survivor/
- Each week during the Pro Football season and playoffs, you must pick the winner of a game.
- You can only choose each team once throughout the entire season, including the playoffs and the Pro Football Championship game in Las Vegas.
- Only the final results at the end of regulation time will count. If a game you select is tied at the end of regulation, the selection will be deemed to have lost, regardless of overtime.
The game is now open to entries and industry peer-to-peer sharing across an evolving landscape of diverse players and companies which represent a wide spectrum of commercial intersectionality. ITP continues to stand alone in the F2P and P2P content market in that, via a single integration, it opens up an entire market of 20+ free-to-play and pay-to-play content providers to satisfy sports and casino needs around the world, irrespective of the data environment.
Hussain Naqi, Founder and CEO of Inside The Pocket, said: “No matter what Al Pacino said in Any Given Sunday, it’s actually a game of inching along, surviving week-by-week, and outlasting your rivals. So, join us for Pro Football Survivor and stand a chance to win big while also supporting a great charitable cause! It’s a fun way to learn more about America’s favourite sport, or flex your bragging-rights if you know the game well. It takes under a minute each week, and hopefully you’ll be coming back every week to play!”
“We’ve launched Pro Football Survivor to help people understand how we’re different. And it’s a broad church out there whom we want to engage, shining a light on the wide-ranging solutions that our unique platform can provide when it comes to acquisition and retention.
“We’re focused on B2B clients, whether that’s in sports media, the betting and gaming space, the hospitality industry, the restaurant sector or any other party amongst a varied Venn Diagram of interconnectivity. At ITP, we want to house many new potential partners under this same roof, such is our platform’s ability to target specific recreational player-groups and fulfil nuanced acquisition and retention goals.
“At ITP, we don’t view the landscape merely in terms of games. Rather, we think about the space as an entire ecosystem and strategy which we specifically cultivate as a flexible and ever-evolving piece of content for an overlapping and interdependent chain of companies to whom we can now demonstrate the multifaceted solutions of ITP.
“We have content of our own. We have an aggregation layer where we’ll put competitors side-by-side. We offer best-in-class data deals. In short, our unique platform drives new levels in acquisition and retention through its multiplicity of games, bespoke localised strategies and a quick-fire integration which averages just under three weeks in duration. This allows our partners to plan globally but think locally, mitigating regulatory risk from the patchwork quilt of state-by-state regulation in North America to LatAm, Africa and APAC.
“Perhaps our biggest challenge is to make people understand that variety is our touchstone. You can’t just back one horse, lest it become a flogging horse. Instead, companies need to be rolling out a variety of different products. We want our registrants to come to see this Survivor game as a sticky and intuitive free-to-play product that reliably gets people coming back each week. It has that crucial repeat-engagement attribute where everyone can quickly see the value proposition.”

Discover the World of Immersive Gaming: Interactive and Engaging Online Gaming Experiences Await!
Online gaming provides an unprecedented opportunity for players to delve into engaging and immersive entertainment experiences. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer with years of experience or a curious newcomer eager to explore, online gaming offers endless possibilities.
Players interact and engage with vibrant virtual worlds brimming with excitement and adventure with every click, choice, and interaction. There’s no shortage of thrills, from heart-pounding action to strategic gaming challenges. Regardless of whether you prefer a controller, keyboard, or mobile device, prepare yourself for an unforgettable journey through online and virtual realms where adventure awaits at every turn.
- Live Dealer Gaming
Live dealer gaming represents a remarkable fusion of the convenience of online gaming with the engagement and realism of traditional casino experiences. By integrating live dealer gaming into online platforms, gamers enjoy unparalleled gaming excitement, realism, and immersion.
One of the key features of live dealer games is the interaction of players with real dealers in real-time. Through high-definition video streams, players can see and communicate with professional dealers overseeing the gameplay, deal cards, and table management. The direct interaction enhances the gaming experience’s authenticity and adds a social element often missing from standard online casino games.
Moreover, the presence of fellow players at the virtual table further contributes to the social atmosphere of live dealer gaming. Players can engage in conversation, exchange banter, and even celebrate wins together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared experience.
This social interaction replicates the vibrant atmosphere of traditional brick-and-mortar casinos, where players gather around tables to enjoy games of chance and skill. The convenience and fairness of online gaming with the authenticity of live dealer interaction deliver an unforgettable and immersive gaming experience.
- Multiplayer Gaming
Multiplayer online gaming is a dynamic and vibrant landscape where players worldwide come together to interact, collaborate, and compete in virtual environments. It encompasses various gaming experiences across multiple genres and platforms, from cooperative adventures to competitive showdowns.
Whether competing for the pot in high-stakes Hold’em poker tournaments, chasing big wins in Keno multiplayer rooms, or cheering each other on as the reels spin in multiplayer slots, multiplayer online gaming offers a dynamic and immersive experience where gamers can team up to embark on thrilling quests, strategize in real-time battles, and socialize in vibrant virtual spaces.
Also, in multiplayer esports, players showcase their mastery of game mechanics, strategy, teamwork, and communication as they vie for victory against formidable opponents. Teams often consist of highly skilled players specializing in specific roles, such as fragging out, support players, or shot-callers, each contributing their expertise to achieve a common goal. The competitive nature of multiplayer gaming, whether in esports or online casino games, fuels excitement, adrenaline, and the drive to succeed.
- Emergent Gameplay
Emergent gameplay is an engaging and mind-captivating aspect of gaming. It empowers players to shape their experiences while creating their own stories and experiences within the game through experimentation and interaction with the game world. Instead of following a predetermined storyline or set of objectives, emergent gameplay allows for unpredictable outcomes and player-driven narratives, leading to moments of discovery, surprise, and urgency.
At its core, emergent gameplay encourages players to think outside the box and find creative solutions to game challenges. Rather than being constrained by rigid rules or scripted events, players can explore the virtual world, experiment with different strategies, and interact with the game’s systems in novel and unexpected ways. Whether through unscripted interactions with non-player characters (NPCs), dynamic environmental systems, or emergent AI behaviors, players can influence the game’s direction and shape the outcome of their adventures.
For example, in a survival game like “The Forest,” players must gather resources, build shelters, and fend off hostile creatures to survive in a dangerous wilderness. Emergent gameplay occurs as players devise creative solutions to challenges, such as using environmental hazards to trap enemies or constructing elaborate fortifications to defend against attacks. However, identifying gameplay designs that prioritize depth, replayability, and excitement is crucial to creating immersive and dynamic gaming experiences.
- Simulation Gaming
Simulation gaming is a genre that allows players to immerse themselves in virtual worlds that simulate real-life activities, scenarios, or environments while emphasizing strategic thinking and problem-solving skills. Top-notch simulation games aim to replicate aspects of reality, whether managing a city, piloting an aircraft, or building a virtual life.
One of the critical features of simulation gaming is its focus on authenticity and realism. Whether it’s the intricate details of city planning in games like “Cities: Skylines” or the realistic flight mechanics of “Microsoft Flight Simulator,” simulation games strive to provide players with a lifelike experience that mirrors real-world activities.
The games offer a wide range of experiences across various genres and themes. Players can explore different professions and hobbies, from farming and truck driving to surgery and space exploration. The diversity of simulation games allows players to indulge in their interests and explore new activities in a safe and accessible virtual environment.
- Instant-Win Games
Instant win games represent a genre of gaming that offers quick and accessible gameplay experiences with the allure of immediate rewards. These games cater to players seeking instant gratification and excitement, providing simple yet engaging gameplay mechanics that players can enjoy in short bursts.
One of the defining features of instant win games is their accessibility. Unlike more complex games that require a significant time investment to learn and master, instant win games typically have straightforward rules and intuitive gameplay mechanics. The accessibility makes them appealing to gamers of all ages and skills, from casual gamers looking for a quick distraction to seasoned players seeking a break from more intense gaming experiences.
Also, instant win games cater to various gaming preferences and playstyles, from classic scratch cards and lottery-style games to arcade-style mini-games and quick spins on virtual slot machines. The short duration of instant win games makes them perfect for players with limited time or attention spans, whether looking for a quick thrill, a chance to win prizes, or simply a brief moment of entertainment. However, while these games offer quick and accessible gameplay experiences, gamers must prioritize responsible gaming habits to ensure a healthy lifestyle around the world of gaming.
