Betmarkets vs Cushion

Platform to invest in sports betting by automatically copying sports betting experts

Betmarkets is a web platform that allows you to invest in sports betting by automatically copying sports betting experts. You can grab up to €100 (€20 guaranteed with the invite) to invest in this version of our platform until 31st January. You get to keep all profits. In the case of a loss, it’s covered by us.

Currently, people that individually follow experts receive tips through e-mail, replicate everything manually, analyse Excel spreadsheets and pay upfront fees. We developed an engine that replicates experts’ bets in less than a second and integrated it in a platform that (1) is automated, (2) doesn’t require betting accounts, (3) produces reporting output, (4) is free-to-use. Users only need to register, fund the account and select which experts to follow.

After raising $221k and being selected by the Web Summit as one of the three best startups exhibiting in the last day of the conference, we have launched mid-November and achieved +1,000 users in 12 days.
