ArenaPlus launches ₱100M MVP Bracket for NBA Playoffs

As the NBA Playoffs heat up, Filipino fans are getting more than just high-stakes games. They’re getting a chance to turn their predictions into a big prize with ArenaPlus’ recently launched ₱100 Million MVP Bracket.

Launched on April 11, the free-to-play contest is inspired by the long-standing bracket-prediction tradition in the United States. It’s where fans forecast playoff outcomes as part of the postseason experience.

“So this playoffs we incorporated that idea into the Philippines,” ArenaPlus CEO Erick Su said in an interview.

“We give the players an opportunity to predict the playoffs for free and to win a big prize.”

The launch also comes alongside ArenaPlus’ partnership with the NBA, allowing the platform to deliver a more authentic and engaging experience for users.

“When you get to ArenaPlus, you can feel the real immerse experience with the game. Also, we can partner with the NBA to give a lot of merchs and the opportunity to get into exclusive events for the NBA,” Su said.

“It gives the fans more opportunity to be part of the NBA offering.”

In March, ArenaPlus rolled out a ₱1 billion prediction promo, challenging users to forecast the entire playoff outcome, including series results.

Now, the focus shifts to a format that is easier to join.

“Now with the launch of the partnership with the NBA, we want to bring something simple and easier to participate.”

At the center of this initiative is the ₱100 Million MVP Bracket, a free-to-play contest where participants predict the winners of all 15 NBA Playoffs matchups.

Each user is given two free entries, with no deposit or betting required.

Unlike traditional prediction challenges, participants don’t need a flawless bracket to win.

“You don’t have to be perfect,” Su explained.

“The only thing you need to win is you are the best bracket. You are the most accurate bracket.”

The participant with the highest number of correct predictions will take home the ₱100 million grand prize.

In case of a tie, timing becomes the deciding factor.

“If there are multiple people who have the same bracket, you need to be the earliest submission,” Su clarified. “And that’s how you get the P100 million.”

With the contest running from April 11 to 18, fans have a limited window to submit their entries and compete for one of the biggest bracket-style prizes available locally.

For those already making their own playoff predictions, the opportunity is simple:
