Manage Your Sportsbook Growth

The growth of your sportsbook can be tough, but we have some tips to help add to you player base and to manage your new clientele.

Whether you’re new to the online bookie game or a seasoned veteran you probably work with a consistent player base and always want to see growth of your sportsbook.  Your existing players have provided you with consistent revenue and it can be easy to get complacent when it comes to expansion.  We suggest that agents remain vigilant when it comes to procuring new clients, no matter what level your independent book is at.

But this is not always as easy as it sounds, so if you are finding it harder and harder to keep up with the Jones’s, just keep reading.

We’re going to break down how to think a little younger, grab those millennial sports bettors and see your revenue skyrocket. So, let’s review some tools which old school bookies might want to utilize and tips to manage all those new players coming in the door.

Set Up Incentives to Tempt new Players

When players are looking for a new sportsbook to play at a lot of their consideration comes down to any sign-up bonuses or promotions which the client can take advantage of.  One thing that many PPH agents don’t do is offer these types of incentives to both get new clients and keep the ones they currently have.  Say you see a book is organizing a survivor contest for the NFL season kicking off week 1 with a grand prize of a $500 account credit.  Now I don’t know about you, but I see a book offering that for just funding an account and I am all-in.  It also has the added benefit of increasing action week to week in the NFL because clients have already handicapped multiple games for the contest and are more likely to bet those games as well.  Small independent books can take a lot of lessons from the big boys by offering promos like this, or a first-time deposit bonus for example as many PPH agents rarely consider such extras.

Targeting Younger Players

Think about the last time you walked past a gaggle of 20 somethings at the mall or on the street and I bet I can make a prediction about them.  At least 75% of them had their hands and eyes glued to their smartphones; social media, their main interest.

This is a fantastic way to see growth of your sportsbook by reaching a new demographic of sports bettors who have yet to grow attached to any particular betting venue.  A perfect target when looking for new clients to add to your current client roster.

When looking to find these potential clients the strongest platforms to use at the moment are Twitter, Instagram & YouTube.  Instagram is great for posting screenshots of your book or promoting any special offers you might want to offer for prospective clients. Twitter can be used to be a voice in the industry in general, get out that and share your knowledge or commentary with the world.  This is a great networking tool which has a large sports betting community who are very interactive and always looking for the best option of a book to play at.

Now that we’ve gotten some new players in the door how do you manage the growth of your business?

Managing Your Sportsbook Growth

A growing book requires a lot of attention, your cost per week will increase, the amount of time invested will increase and the amount of client contact as well.

Splitting your business into a virtual sub-company allows you to lower costs and to keep 100% ownership of your business.

It also allows you to manage your sportsbook more efficiently by putting technical experts in charge of that side of the company.
