Entry instructions

To enter, during the Competition Period:

  • download the FANZO app and register your details by providing all requested information, including selecting your favourite NRL team (if you have not done so already);
  • find the Victoria Bitter NRL Footy Tipping 2026 Competition and opt to join a Venue league by selecting your local participating NSW Venue (you may choose to join a maximum of two Venues for the entire Competition Period) then click the 'join league' button for that Venue; then
  • before each round of the 2026 NRL season (excluding the finals series), submit your tips for each game in the round (including a margin nomination for the first game of each round) via the FANZO app.

Where a submission is not made for a game, you will by default receive the away team as your tip (and the margin of the game result). Tips for each game close prior to the game commencing.

The Promoter is not responsible if your mobile device/desktop is not sufficiently capable for the purpose of submitting an entry or tip. For the avoidance of doubt, you can only join the tipping league for a maximum of two Venues. Entrants do not need to join a Venue League in order to be eligible for the major prize (but must have joined a Venue League in order to be eligible for the Tip Reward Schooner, the 2 for 1 Schooner Reward or the Venue League prize).

Rewards

Rewards will be one of following, either:

Tip Reward Schooner

Submit your NRL tips for all games in a round while present and in attendance at your selected local Venue (you must have your location services switched on in the FANZO app to determine that you are physically present in the Venue) to receive a 425ml Schooner of VB (Tip Reward Schooner). Once you have completed your tip submission for the entire round, your Tip Reward Schooner voucher will be loaded into your FANZO wallet (available in the FANZO app).

To redeem your Tip Reward Schooner, present your Tip Reward Schooner voucher to staff at your selected local Venue. All vouchers will expire at 6pm (local time) on the following Friday after the voucher is awarded. If you do not use your Tip Reward Schooner voucher prior to this date/time, you will forfeit this Reward.

OR

2 for 1 Schooner

Submit your NRL tips for all games in a round to receive a ‘2 for 1’ 425ml schooners of VB deal (2 for 1 Schooner). Once you have completed your tip submission for the entire round, your 2 for 1 Schooner voucher will be loaded into your FANZO wallet.

You do not need to be physically present inside a Venue to receive this Reward.

Present your 2 for 1 Schooner voucher to staff at your selected local Venue at the time of purchase to redeem.

Your 2 for 1 Schooner is only redeemable in the Venue when you purchase 2 schooners of VB in 1 transaction (intended to share with a friend). All vouchers will expire at 6pm (local time) on the following Friday after the voucher is won. If you do not use your 2 for 1 Schooner voucher prior to this time, you forfeit this Reward.

For the avoidance of doubt, Rewards are not available at all Venues. Reward availability is subject to change at any time during the Competition Period. Please refer to the FANZO app at the time of entering to ensure your selected Venue has Rewards available.

Rewards will not be redeemable between 10pm and 9am (local time) and are subject to Venue opening hours.

Once you have submitted your tips for a round, you will get an on-screen notification informing you if you have earned a Reward and if so, details on how to claim your Reward. Rewards will be allocated based on the entrant’s location at the time of submitting their tips.

Additional Venue league prizes

During the Competition Period, a Venue may choose to have additional Venue prizes available to the entrants who have selected to participate in that Venue's tipping league. The prizes may be any of the following as advertised in Venue:

  • If you are the Venue’s top tipper for the week, you may receive a meal voucher (to the value as specified by the Venue) to use at that Venue or other prize, as determined by the Venue in its absolute discretion;
  • If you submit the highest number of correct tips of the 2026 NRL season in the Venue's league you may win a cash prize (to the value as specified by the Venue) or other prize, as determined by the Venue in its absolute discretion.

Venue league prizes not available in all Venues. It is up to the Venue if they choose to give away Venue league prizes. If a Venue has Venue league prize/s they are subject to availability, and the type of prize/s may vary between Venues. Venue league prizes will be subject to any terms and conditions provided in conjunction with the prize (and stipulated at the time the prize is advertised).

How many major prizes will there be and how will they be determined?

There will be 1 major prize winner determined in this competition. To win the major prize, you must, by the end of the Competition Period, have the overall highest number of correct tips (correctly predicted winning teams, & away teams when no submission was made) throughout the 2026 NRL season (excluding finals series) from all entrants in the 2026 VB NRL Footy Tipping Competition. If there are 2 or more tippers with the highest number of tips (correctly predicted winning teams & away teams when no submission was made) picked at the end of the 2026 NRL season in the VB NRL Footy Tipping Competition, then the overall winner will be determined by the total points margin of difference (with the tipper with the lowest overall points margin being declared the winner). If, in the event of a further tie (where 2 tippers have the same total points margin of difference) a winner will be determined by the following:

  • the tipper with the lowest total margin of difference in the last round will win;
  • if still tied, the lowest margin of the first game in the second last round.

If after both of these options are exhausted and a clear winner still cannot be found, the Promoter will then proceed to find the tipper with the lowest margin, sequentially back through the rest of the rounds until a clear winner is determined. If, after this a clear winner is still not found, the major prize will go to the tipper who was first to sign up to the FANZO app in 2026 (or if both tippers signed up prior to 2026 then it will be the first to submit a tip for the 2026 VB NRL Footy Tipping Competition).

Major prize

There is 1 major prize available in this competition. The major prize is $5,000 (awarded via direct deposit). The winner must provide the details of an Australian bank account (in their name) in order for the prize to be awarded.

Total prize pool

The major prize pool is $5,000.

How many times can I enter?

Entrants can only participate in this activity on the one (1) device. Each entry/tip must be submitted separately in accordance with these Conditions of Entry. There is a limit of one FANZO account per device used. Entrants can join a maximum of two (2) x Venue leagues.

How and when will the winner/s be informed?

All winners/reward recipients (excluding the major prize winner) will be notified via the FANZO app, with details on how to claim the prize. The major prize winner will be notified in writing by email within two business days of determination and will have their name and state/territory of residence published on the Website on 11/09/2026 for a period of 28 days.

Unclaimed prizes

There will be no unclaimed minor prizes (unless otherwise stated). All minor prizes will be automatically awarded to winners via their FANZO app. Any un-won or unclaimed minor prizes remaining at the end of the Competition Period will be forfeited. Major prize claim date: 5pm (AEST) on 25/09/2026 .
If the major prize has not been accepted or claimed by the major prize claim date above or if, after making all reasonable attempts, the Promoter can't contact the major winner (or the major winner does not contact the Promoter) by the major prize claim date above, the relevant entry will be discarded and the Promoter will on 28/09/2026 re-award the major prize to the next tipper with the highest number of tips (correctly predicted winning teams and points margin, as relevant).
