The problem

Football's most loyal customers, served blind

Every fan in the building is holding a phone. Every second of a matchday is a commercial moment. Today, almost none of them are caught.

Siloed systems

Ticketing, POS, CRM and the app don't talk to each other. Nobody sees the whole fan.

Yesterday's data

Batch reports arrive after the fan has gone home. The moment to act is already gone.

Generic engagement

The same email to every fan. Sponsors buy eyeballs because outcomes can't be measured.

The widening gap

Attention is compounding. Fan revenue isn't.

Audiences, streams and social reach keep climbing. Per-fan capture stays flat on legacy infrastructure — and every season the gap gets more expensive.

The moment matters most in football.  Fans decide, spend and share in seconds — systems that respond tomorrow can't monetise today.

The results

Flat for everyone — except the clubs on LAVA

Same league economics, same hard-to-impress market. Where LAVA runs the fan relationship, the curve bends the other way.

#1
per-cap fan spend in the NBA
The Sacramento Kings post the league’s highest per-fan spend — on LAVA’s Royalty Pass.
#1
in the NFL for fan engagement
The Detroit Lions lead the NFL on fan engagement — powered by LAVA membership and Lions Loot.

The shift

Act while the fan is still in the moment

LAVA is the Realtime AI Customer Activation Platform — the real-time operating system for the modern stadium business. It connects everything a venue already runs, and responds in under a second.

Sense

Every signal from the venue and the stream

Decide

Who is it, should we act, what’s best — now

Act

The right moment fires across their channels

The Brain of Your Business Powered by Realtime AI™

One platform

Three engines, one operating system

Everything shares one fan profile, one wallet, one decision layer — live.

Moments Engine

Real-time activation. For every signal it answers three questions: who is it, should we act, and if so — what's the right engagement, right now.

Sub-secondEvent-drivenWho · act · what

Membership Engine

Living profiles, entitlements and privileges. Passes become digital certificates of what each fan has earned — from GA to VIP.

Wallet passesTiers & VIPStored value

Marketplace

Takes the brand beyond the venue: points, stored value and brand cash earned anywhere, spent with the club and its merchant partners.

Merchant networkMulti-currencyPoints & brand cash
Multi-currency by design.  Points, brand cash, stored value and card on file — one balance that follows the fan across every touchpoint.

How it works

The anatomy of a Moment

Every activation follows the same four-step logic — designed by your team, executed by the platform.

1

Trigger

A fan scans in, taps a till, enters a zone, replies to a poll — or comments in the live stream.

2

Profile

The platform resolves who it is: history, membership tier, wallet, tonight's context.

3

Qualifier

Should we act? Rules and models decide if this fan, this moment, is worth an engagement.

4

Engagement

The right action fires: an offer, points, an upgrade, a message — to wallet, app, SMS or screen.

Example: fan taps in at the gate → qualified halftime offer lands in their wallet< 1 second, end to end
Your team designs the plays.  Marketers configure Moments in the activation centre; LAVA runs them against live venue data.

Play 01 · Live watch parties

Every screen becomes a venue

Most of your audience will never be in the building. Watch parties turn remote fixtures — and co-streams — into occasions you can ticket, activate and measure.

Ticketed viewing events

Bars, fan parks, campus events — registered through the platform, every attendee identified and rewarded for showing up.

Synchronised in-stream moments

Goal bonuses, halftime quizzes, sponsor drops — fired to every party and co-stream at once, in the moment.

A new sponsor inventory

Measured attendance and engagement across every location — outcomes a sponsor can actually buy.

Play 02 · Merchant network

Monetise everyday spend across the city

TapEarnRedeem

A branded loyalty network that turns fan spending at local venues into league revenue, fan rewards and first-party data — earning all week, not just on match day.

Local merchants join the network

Bars, cafés, restaurants, gyms and shops become affiliated partners. Fans tap their pass and earn league points on everyday spend — live in minutes.

Merchants fund the rewards

Partners fund the points on each visit — and in return earn fan footfall, discovery in the league app and shared first-party data. No cost to the league.

Redeemed with the league

Points are spent in the Marketplace: tickets, merch, membership, experiences and offers on unsold inventory. The league keeps the relationship and the data.

Play 04 · Revenue protection

The revenue you can't see, protected

When third-party operators run your F&B, retail and bars, your revenue share and variable-lease income ride on their self-reported sales. LAVA integrates directly with the point of sale to verify every pound.

£100M+
Hundreds of millions of pounds in venue sales tracked across LAVA clients — measured at the till, in real time. Peace of mind, by default.
Measured, not self-reportedDirect PoS integration captures every transaction — revenue-share and variable-lease run on verified gross sales, not an operator's word.
Real-time, not month-endWatch sales across every operator as they happen — no waiting for monthly accounts to settle.
Everyone winsThe same tills turn anonymous buyers into known customers: operators gain loyalty & retargeting; you get one verified view — lifetime value, favourite purchases and destinations.

Play 05 · Cross-platform loyalty

The business orchestration layer across every system you run

Loyalty is easy inside one platform. Real venues aren't one platform — several PoS vendors, multiple ticketing partners, an app, a web store. LAVA bridges them into a single customer.

The reality — fragmented
Concessions PoS
Retail & merch PoS
Bars & restaurants

Nobody else bridges this.  Most loyalty needs one platform; LAVA orchestrates across the independent systems you already run.

Play 06 · Social engagement rewards

Reward the fans who make the noise

Baller League's fans live in the stream — and the buyers are often their parents. LAVA closes that gap by rewarding participation, not just purchases.

Social actions become triggers

Chat activity, comments, likes, polls and questionnaires on YouTube, Twitch & TikTok feed the Moments engine as first-class signals.

Points land in a real wallet

Engagement earns points and privileges in the fan's own membership — identity the league owns, not the platform's.

Spent where you choose

Tickets, merch drops, F&B, experiences — the young fan earns it, whoever pays. Top contributors tier up.

Engines: Moments · Membership · Gamification  |  We co-design the exact mechanic — actions, tiers, rewards — in a working session with your team

Why not the alternatives

Plenty of tools. One operating system.

Each alternative solves a slice. None of them sense, decide and act in the same second — inside the venue.
