An NRL scores app without gambling ads

Open most footy apps and the odds get more screen space than the score. If you're trying to keep gambling out of your footy - for yourself, or for kids who borrow your phone - the standard options make it surprisingly hard. Here's what to look for, and how Six Again does it differently.

Why footy apps are full of betting content

Sports media in Australia runs on wagering money. Bookmakers sponsor broadcasts, buy ad slots and pay for placement inside apps, so live odds end up woven through match centres, notifications and even ladder pages. For the companies involved it's the business model; for a fan who just wants the score, it's noise at best - and for anyone managing a gambling problem, or a parent handing a phone to a ten-year-old, it's genuinely unwelcome.

It's also why "no gambling" is worth checking before you download, not after. An app's store screenshots rarely show the odds banner that appears during a live game.

What "gambling-free" should actually mean

• No betting odds - not on match cards, not in the match centre, not next to the ladder.
• No gambling ads - including third-party ad networks that rotate betting ads in amongst other annoying and spammy ads.
• No bookmaker sponsorship - no "odds provided by" partnerships baked into the product.

Six Again: built for fans, not bookmakers

Six Again meets all three: no betting odds, no gambling ads and no betting-company sponsorship anywhere in the app. That's not a settings toggle you have to find - there's simply nothing to turn off.

What you get instead is the footy itself:

• Live scores for every NRL and State of Origin match - including on your lock screen
• The live ladder, updating while games are played
• The full season draw, round by round
• A score worm, scoring timeline, player stats and team lineups

Six Again is funded by fans, not bookmakers: the app is free to download, and lock-screen live scores are free for your first 3 matches before a $9.99/year Premium subscription. That small subscription is the whole business model - which is exactly why there's no ad inventory to sell.
