Betchya - Creating a mobile app to bring mobile betting to tribal casinos
The advent of legalized sports gambling has created a booming industry for private companies like DraftKings and MGM. Unfortunately for tribal casinos, that advantage does not transfer to them. Private companies offer casinos “buyout” packages - big up front payments - to use their casino to host their own sports book, and then take up to 90% of the revenue, branding, data, and everything else. Tribal gaming consultants fear that in 5-10 years, when the “buyout” has runout and no additional revenue is being generated, that these casinos are going to be left with nothing but some serious buyer's remorse.
That's where we come in. Our company - Betchya - is the first known tool to assist tribal casinos in the sports betting race rather than take advantage of them. Betchya offers tribal casinos & resorts a one-stop shop for sports betting, hotel booking, event reservation/ticketing, promotion, and more.
Objectives
Nothing set, each team/member will have the opportunity to work on a part of the project that interests them.
Motivations
Betchya was shopped at the Northwest Tribal Gaming Association Conference in 2021 and was well received by the tribal gaming community. They see a need for companies who want to partner with them rather than take advantage of them. Much of the gaming industry's feedback from NWIGA '21 has helped shape the direction of Betchya.
