Created by iPro, Inc., ringit! challenges players to compete in real time, by predicting the next play, drive or game while watching live NFL® football games.

Pro delivers the ultimate experience with more than 15,000 pick options for players to choose from, including predicting whether a team will run or pass next, the players involved, and the result of each play. Players can also challenge others with prop picks or custom side selections. ringit! Pro can be played for social play (virtual coin) starting today, and in the future, will support both fantasy play and full sports betting for cash (in territories where authorized).
- ringit! is for fans who want to get in on the action quickly. Players can choose from a few popular quick pick options, including whether a team opts to run or pass on the next play, which player will receive or carry the ball, and whether the play will result in a touchdown or turnover. ringit! is exclusively social play. Coming soon.
Both versions leverage extensive interactive social features, including in-app messaging that lets players email or text friends and invite them to get in the game, and posting directly to Facebook and Twitter. Building rivalries or even competing with friends by making different play picks for the team you are cheering on has never been so easy and fun.
