Through Bilt Neighborhood OS, the Kings will enhance the fan experience by connecting Kings Royalty Pass members with personalized offers, rewards and exclusive benefits. Potential offerings include incentives for fan engagement, seat upgrades, discounts on merchandise and concessions and other game-day experiences, alongside dining, shopping, fitness and travel benefits through Bilt’s network of participating businesses.

As a shared ecosystem connecting participating businesses and consumers, Bilt Neighborhood OS will also create opportunities for neighborhood businesses to engage with Kings fans through unique and individualized offers and rewards. The platform is designed to encourage engagement across participating businesses, creating new ways for fans to discover and support the places where they live, work and gather.
