Gaming Intelligence

Americans love to bet on sports.

In the U.S., the amount of money wagered on sports soared from ninety-three billion dollars in 2022 to nearly $120 billion in 2023.

But whether you’re a daily bettor, or are interested in making your first wager, betting on sports can be overwhelming. There are so many platforms to choose from — DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars — and so many numbers and statistics to sort through. It’s enough to make your head spin.

Gaming Intelligence (GI) can help. This company’s platform is an all-encompassing tool for navigating and simplifying the intricate world of odds and sports data.

Based in Las Vegas, GI offers access to accurate sports-betting data. It enables users to identify the best betting odds and payouts. And it uses data science to find and customize betting opportunities.

Using GI, you can see all money lines, spreads, and total-points odds across all major sports books. You can quickly calculate and assess various straight and parlay payout scenarios — prior to placing a wager with a sports book. You can even learn and practice best betting strategies, risk-free, on live sporting events.

To be clear, you don’t use GI to place actual bets. Rather, you use this platform to gain the insights and knowledge to help you place smarter bets on the platforms already popular among sports fans. In fact, the company already has partnerships with sports books like BetMGM, DraftKings, and FanDuel.

GI generates revenue through monthly subscription fees. It also earns fees in collaboration with affiliate sports books partners. When a user engages with an affiliate link on GI’s platform, they are directed to the respective affiliate site to register for a new account. When the user completes the registration process and places a wager, GI receives a fee.

GI has been issued a patent. And it has obtained required gaming licenses in New Jersey, Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, Indiana, Virginia, and Maryland. The company is generating minimal revenue.
