About SuperBru

SuperBru is made for sports fans by sports fans. It is one of a portfolio of sports engagement products developed, owned and operated by London-based SportEngage.

History

SuperBru began life in 2001 as a Super 12 prediction game played by a group of twenty-something graduates from the University of Cape Town in their shared London house. The game was played on a single sheet of paper stuck to the fridge, and each week the duty of recording picks and calculating scores was passed to a different member of the group. In 2003, one of the gang, The General, built the first online version of the game. It was played by 9 friends. By early 2006, a few thousand players had taken part in the game.

With proper business backing from digital consulting/ventures outfit Nevado coming in 2006, the site flourished and developed rapidly, spawning a UK-oriented brother site (SportGuru - subsequently merged back into SuperBru in 2012) and several corporate white labels. Early in 2011, the sports ventures left the Nevado incubator as a standalone business, SportEngage.

To date, 2,399,136 registered users from across the world have taken part in SuperBru's games.
