Sweepstakes recognizes “firsts” in baseball and homeownership; offers two unique grand prize VIP experiences at MLB All-Star Week and first game of the ALCS or NLCS

Celebrating its fourth season as the Official Mortgage Provider of Major League Baseball, loanDepot has brought its popular “Ballpark Bingo: A Celebration of Firsts' campaign” back for a second year, featuring a sweepstakes that brings fans into the fun of America’s favorite pastime. New this season, the sweepstakes features two grand prize VIP trip experiences: the first to MLB All-Star Week in Arlington, Tex. in July, and the second, a VIP experience at the first game of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) or National League Championship Series (NLCS). loanDepot is the Presenting Sponsor of the ALCS and NLCS.

“Engaging with baseball fans in our communities by adding to the game experience is at the core of loanDepot’s partnership with MLB,” said loanDepot Chief Marketing Officer Alec Hanson. “We understand the profound impact of 'firsts' as we share the joy with first-time homebuyers, turning the American dream of homeownership into reality – and we couldn’t think of a better way to share that excitement than by celebrating the countless firsts that unfold across America’s favorite pastime.”

loanDepot’s Ballpark Bingo: A Celebration of Firsts campaign commemorates important firsts by players and teams throughout the 2024 MLB season with an interactive bingo sweepstakes for fans. The Ballpark Bingo card will light up as major statistical milestones and jaw-dropping plays unfold on the diamond – such as the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter or the first team to achieve a triple play. Fans can follow the action on MLB.com and catch exclusive highlights on loanDepot and MLB social media, and on the MLB Network. Two different bingo boards for the first and second halves of the Regular Season will keep things fresh and interesting for those playing along.

With two prize periods, fans who enter by June 1 have the chance to win one of two extraordinary opportunities. The first prize awarded will be an all-expenses-paid trip for two to MLB All-Star Week, where winners will receive coveted tickets to experience the excitement of the game. Those who don’t make the first cut, or who start playing Ballpark Bingo after June 1 can win a once-in-a-lifetime trip for two to Game One of their choice to either the ALCS or NLCS, with the chance to throw a ceremonial first pitch. Both prizes include prime seats, airfare, lodging, and the unique opportunity to step onto the field to catch batting practice up close and personal.
