Sports Toto Korea will showcase a free experience event for the 'general baseball product' of the Proto betting type and various baseball experience content at SPOEX 2025 from March 27 (Thursday) to March 30 (Sunday).
A message promoting the public interest of the National Sports Promotion Fund, which is raised through Sports Toto, and the eradication of illegal sports gambling will also be delivered… much interest and participation from attendees is expected.
Sports Toto Korea, the trustee of the Sports Toto voting rights issued by the National Sports Promotion Corporation, will operate an experiential promotional booth at the '2025 Seoul International Sports Leisure Industry Expo (SPOEX 2025)' held at COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul from March 27 (Thursday) to March 30 (Sunday).
SPOEX is the largest sports and leisure industry exhibition in Korea, jointly hosted by the National Sports Promotion Corporation (Chairman Ha Hyung-joo) and the Korea International Trade Association (Chairman Yoon Jin-sik). Sports Toto Korea plans to introduce various baseball experience content in line with the opening of the professional baseball season during this exhibition.
Sports Toto Korea plans to create an experiential space resembling a baseball stadium using eight booths set up in Hall B of the event venue and operate various programs for visitors including ▲ an event to guess the championship team of the 2025 KBO season ▲ a fundraising lighting machine experience ▲ a speed measurement event ▲ a Proto betting purchase experience (general baseball product) ▲ a Betting Man membership sign-up event ▲ and an official social media follow event.
In particular, the 'Guess the final championship team of KBO season' event is expected to draw high interest from baseball fans. Participants will fill out a submission form according to the guidance of the staff on site and place it in a capsule at the booth, voting for the predicted winning team. Sports Toto Korea will provide various souvenirs, including national team baseball caps (for 2 people), through a draw held twice a day for event participants during the SPOEX event.
The 'fastest throw contest' event, which measures the speed of throwing a baseball, is also noteworthy. Participants will receive two attempts per day, and the top 3 in speed for each gender will receive gift certificates or coffee gift icons. The venue will be equipped with safety nets and a strike zone, allowing participants to check their throwing speed in an environment similar to an actual game.
In addition, all experience participants can engage in the 'lighting machine' experience that conveys the meaning of the Sports Toto funding. Participants will touch messages related to the fields in which the National Sports Promotion Fund is utilized step by step, allowing them to see messages and funding amounts across 6 different areas, from youth sports development to support for professional and recreational sports.
All attendees who participate in the experiential events such as visiting the venue and guessing the championship team will receive souvenirs like reusable bags, and messages promoting the eradication of illegal gambling by minors will also be conveyed.
An official from Sports Toto Korea noted, "It is very meaningful to participate in SPOEX 2025 with new voting rights products," and added, "We have prepared various programs so that citizens who love sports can easily and enjoyably experience the significance of healthy sports betting and the National Sports Promotion Fund, so we hope for much interest and participation."
