“March Madness is a celebration unlike any other, one that combines unparalleled competition, underdog storylines, and drama that reminds us why we love college sports. We are incredibly proud to unveil this contest and promotions to provide fans with a superior sportsbook experience as the college basketball season culminates. While the odds of creating a ‘perfect bracket’ are next to none, game and prop bet odds on Tipico allow bettors to fully personalize their tournament-watching experience,” Adrian Vella, CEO of Tipico, said.

Tipico has also introduced “The Shot,” a March Madness Tournament streaming show featuring legendary Duke University NCAA Champion and NBA All-Star Christian Laettner.
