The new app will be integrated into the Hilltopper Sports app, available on Apple and Android.

The Big Red’s Rewards app replaces the Red Wave app but will be available for all fans, not just students. Through the app, fans can check-in at games to earn points toward prizes and unique experiences.
The app will allow fans to participate in games through polls and other immersive experiences while viewing leaderboards to see how they stack up against their fellow fans.
Fans will also be able to access exclusive offers from WKU sponsors in the app and can earn extra points by showing up early, staying late and being loud. Fans can earn 10 points per day just by logging on daily.
To collect points within the app, you’ll be able to do so by reading a story in the Hilltopper Athletics app (up to five a day), watch a video (up to two a day, you must watch 60 seconds) and listen to an audio stream (up to three a day, you must listen to 60 seconds)
Once the points are collected, they will automatically appear in your Big Red’s Rewards account.
