Streaming sports networks, college athletic departments, and live event properties are sitting on audiences they can’t reach between games. No app. No form. Native SMS — the channel every fan already has. OTTO responds in under 3 seconds. 71% opt-in completion. Fan identity owned by the team — forever.
Fans in the building, viewers on the stream, sponsor activations — attention without a text channel is attention that disappears when the game ends. These are the gaps TextingOnly closes.
The scoreboard, the stream overlay, the sponsor activation, the post-game blast — one OTTO engine connects each touchpoint to the same owned fan list and attribution report.
The scoreboard, the stream overlay, the in-venue signage, and the sponsor activation are already there. TextingOnly adds a text channel to each one — so each touchpoint that generates fan attention has a path to OTTO, an opt-in, and a contact on your owned list.
Post-game blast reaches fans who opted in tonight. Next game alerts, ticket promotions, and merch drops all go to your owned list — no algorithm, no impressions to buy. The fan list you built in-venue earns its value starting the moment the final buzzer sounds.
Without staff during the game. Without changing your existing marketing. Each game adds to the list. Each season the list compounds.
Sports and entertainment SMS campaigns require 10DLC registration to deliver at scale. Game-day opt-in volumes require registered numbers — unregistered SMS is filtered before reaching fans. Every TextingOnly campaign runs on a 10DLC-registered number with your business brand. TCPA consent documented at opt-in. See full 10DLC registration details →
Four things TextingOnly does for sports and live entertainment that no broadcast or social platform does automatically.
In-venue QR codes on signage, programs, and scoreboards trigger OTTO when fans scan. OTTO delivers requested content — roster, giveaway entry, sponsor offer — and captures the opt-in automatically. Each fan who scans is added to the team’s owned SMS list. Post-game, TextingOnly sends next game schedule, merch promotions, and ticket links to the entire opted-in list.
10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) registration authorizes the team or conference to send SMS at game-day scale. Without registration, in-venue opt-in messages and post-game blasts are filtered by carriers. TextingOnly registers the organization’s 10DLC number with TCPA compliance at every opt-in. Sponsors receive per-campaign-source attribution showing scan counts, engagement rates, and offer redemptions.
Each sponsor campaign gets a unique QR code with its own attribution tracking. Fan scans, ITR menu choices, and offer redemptions are recorded per sponsor. TextingOnly delivers attribution reports showing scans, engagement rate, and offer redemptions — enabling revenue-per-scan sponsor package pricing.
Yes. Stream overlay QR codes appear during broadcasts. Home viewers scan with their phone camera — Messages app opens, OTTO delivers the same content flow as in-venue. Streaming opt-ins are added to the same fan list and receive the same post-game sequences. One OTTO setup reaches both audiences.
OTTO handles six workflows automatically: Roster by Text (fan scans, lineup delivered via MMS in under 3 seconds), Score Alerts (real-time updates throughout the game), Giveaway Entry (entry confirmed, opt-in captured, winner announced via SMS), Sponsor Offer (offer delivered, claim tracked, ROI attribution logged), Ticket Presale (interest qualified, sales team alerted), and Post-Game Blast (automated to all opted-in fans at final buzzer). No staff involvement required for any of these during the game.
Each sponsor QR code or activation link is named with game, quarter, market, and placement context before deployment. Scan count, opt-in rate, and offer claim data are captured at the moment of interaction — before any message sends. The sponsor report shows verified contacts captured, offer redemptions, OTTO qualification answers, and post-game follow-up conversion — contact-level proof, not estimated reach data.
