‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ Check In To Win Contest

Ellen DeGeneres’ “Check In To Win” contest is now open with $100,000 in giveaways up for grabs. The Ellen DeGeneres Show has launched the contest, which runs through May 31, 2013, and involves checking in to the show using Viggle. What’s Viggle? It’s a free app that rewards members for watching their favorite TV shows.

Fans of the same TV series can connect through the Viggle Chatter features, and the app even offers interactive games as well as a real-time fantasy sports game.

“You can check in to my show on Viggle to learn more. Great, right? It’s really never been easier to make money lying on your back. That doesn’t sound good. That does not sound right. You know what I mean…,” said Ellen DeGeneres.

“Through this new partnership with The Ellen DeGeneres Show, our millions of users will now have the opportunity to receive a unique reward for viewing and engaging with one of their favorite programs,” explained Greg Consiglio, Viggle President and COO. “It’s the latest example of our commitment to working with programmers to further enhance the second-screen experience and provide exclusive opportunities for our members every day.”

Here’s the scoop on the “Check In To Win” contest:
