The ACTV8me technology is designed and optimized to complement the “You Bet Your Life” format by sending sponsored brand offers and gamified trivia questions to at-home viewers’ smartphones during every episode.

Across all 180 original episodes, “You Bet Your Life” encourages viewers to scan ACTV8me’s dynamic QR code displayed on-screen to test their knowledge with friends and family with the fun play-along trivia segment, to earn SuperFan points, exclusive rewards, and enter to win the “You Bet Your Life” Sweepstakes. Viewers can also engage directly with the show’s sponsors, including Car Gurus, Allegiant Airlines and Wyndham Hotels. By featuring unique QR codes for each of the sponsors, this will drive traffic, measure sales and track lead conversions.

“We recognize that over 80% of consumers use their mobile device* while watching television. By aligning with ACTV8me, we have created a unique and exciting opportunity for our show sponsors and viewers to drive engagement and interactivity,” said Stephen Brown, EVP of Programming and Development for Fox First Run and Fox Television Stations.
