BringIt.com - now you can gamble on the outcome of online games



Skill Gaming was the "next big thing" about 5 years ago, right around the time everyone was convinced (and they were right), Congress would do something to ban online gambling.

Many Gambling Ops I know all switched to skill games. The entire thing fizzled out that same years end.

I'm hoping this works, but I'm doubtin' it.
 
This isn't new, and it won't be successful. Video games are insanely easy to cheat/game and where there is money to be made this will happen.
 
Sorry Jon but I'm wanting this baby to pass. We banked heavily on gaming, and when it was legal, made a killing mailing gambling offers across the USA. 2006 was the end of it all. If gaming becomes legal again, I'll be jumping for joy.
 
I sure as hell hope that doesn't pass.. traffic prices will rush to the insane level it used to be.

I'm not in gambling at all, so I have no clue what that looks like.

Coming from that perspective, I think it would really shake the status quo up a bit. Meaning it would create new ways money could be made but would also shut down a lot of the tried and true ways that are working today. Still working through what that looks like, I have some ideas though.

My only fear is the leverage that the big casinos could / would exercise on the vertical as a whole (Harrah's, MGM Group etc) to force out competition.

They were high because it was worth paying that much, the market supported it.

I'm with Roundabout. Been in the gaming biz for a long time and things are so much better with an open US market.

If that ever comes to pass it's assumed that some big gaming companies might be bought out and some little ones will be crushed. Given the land based operator's love for junket tours, VIP hosts and other incentives, don't you think they will have affiliate programs too?
 
Can you imagine if Harrah's or Wynn, Trump, etc. started their own affiliate programs? I'd imagine CPAs would be $200 - $500 per depositing player. I don't think theyd pay revshare on net losses or anything like that, though we can dream.

When it's about to be made legal, FatBat, let's get all the gambling marketers together in Vegas for a weekend celebration and we'll hit the casinos one by one with our business cards.
