Did you recognize your ex in that video? Maybe not, but returning this year by popular demand, online sportsbook BetUS is giving you the chance to name a rat after your ex. The offer celebrates the holiday and the NBA’s All-Star game as the sports book looks for the best ex-storiers to fill out its All-Star roster.

The roster is designed to give users a chance to laugh, vent and put a name to those memories.

Sign your ex up for the All-Star game

  • Register for $15 by filling out the form.
  • Select which rat you desire to name after your ex by jersey number.
  • The five best ex-stories will be chosen to name one of the players.
  • Receive a personalized certificate to commemorate your ”Rat Roster” player.

“Skip the usual flowers and chocolates and take your Valentine’s Day game to the next level — NYC style — with a gift that’s as unforgettable as the city itself,” a BetUS spokesperson said in a news release.

Visit here to learn more and fill out the rat application on behalf of your ex. Submissions will close on Feb. 14, 2025.
