WKU Athletics introduced the new Big Red’s Rewards app on Thursday, August 15, in partnership with FanMaker and SideArm Sports. The app, which replaces the Red Wave app, is integrated into the Hilltopper Sports app and is available on both Apple and Android devices.
Unlike its predecessor, the Big Red’s Rewards app is open to all fans, not just students. Through the app, users can check in at games to earn points towards prizes and unique experiences. The app also features interactive elements such as polls, leaderboards, and immersive experiences.
Fans can access exclusive offers from WKU sponsors through the app and earn additional points by arriving early, staying late, and making noise during events. Daily log-ins also reward users with 10 points.
Points can be accumulated by engaging with content: reading stories (up to 5 per day), watching videos (up to 2 per day, each requiring 60 seconds of viewing), and listening to audio streams (up to 3 per day, each requiring 60 seconds of listening). Points will be automatically added to the user’s Big Red’s Rewards account as they engage with the app.
