Betting-Hero

Betting Hero seemed to be a good company to work with until it wasn’t. Let me explain… if you are working during the busy season ( Football & March Madness) you can make really good money. ($900+ for working 15-20 hours a weekend.) this comes with a catch. You have to sign up new users for the apps they promote. Their main partner is MGM. Problem is many people in the year 2023 already have the app so good luck trying to find new users! 

This  is a 1099 Gig so you are responsible for paying your own taxes. The pay breaks down as such. You get $20 an hour and $20 per customer signup. Adds up quick if you are on a roll.  You must be comfortable speaking to strangers and have some sort of knowledge about sports. Your only objective is to find and get people to sign up for the different sports book apps.

The company loves you as long as you are getting signups and making money. The second you don’t get enough sign ups they cut you off the schedule or give you very limited hours. There is no loyalty with these people. Higher up management is filled with a bunch of weasels who think their you know what doesn’t stink! 

If you are looking for some quick money give it a try. Just know that this is not a career, there are no advancement opportunities, and there is a high turn over rate. I wouldn’t be surprised if this company dissolved sooner rather than later. 

Pros: -good pay 
- Learn about sports
- Meet new people
- Flexible hours
- Fun environment 
- co-workers are great
- Watch sports at work 
- Good for part time job
- talk to lots of people 

Cons: - upper management hires their family and friends and friends of friends which is unethical in a business. 

- people who are " team leads" get overpaid for doing no work. ( Basically babysitters who do no help with sales but make triple salary)

- upper management hires friends, spouses, lovers, and promotes them to better positions

- says its a 1099 job.... but they treat it like a w-2 with no benefits or overtime

- gives their favorites many chances... fires random people with no warning or explanation.

- hires more and more people causing high turnovers due to cut hours

- no training is involved. They complain when employees break rules but we don't know what the rules are. 

- Hires people who don't watch sports or sports bet..causing issues and liability with sports books management and customers

- clueless upper management.
- will make up positions for bad employees instead of firing them.

- if you complain about the environment to upper management they fire you and make something up as the reason for termination.



This is pretty much a lucrative side hustle if you’re one of the few lucky ones that are likable and catch on fast. (1) It’s 1099 work and you get commission for persuading patrons to download the MGM sport book app and add money to the account. You commission is based on them putting money down on betting. (2) Everything is ran on slack from announcements to scheduling. You don’t even have you team lead or managers number. Also, you see people constantly  getting deactivated on the shack channel because that’s how they fire. They just deactivate you on slack. No email or phone call. They’re ran so badly that they were actively recruiting me on ann  app while I was working for them. I got fired and they tried to setup and interview on another app. It feels like you’re on WhatsApp group chat with Crypto geeks. (3) From day 1 the teams has to like you or you won’t get hours or last long. It’s not areal job although a few are killing it and getting a lot hours. Most won’t. 

The main person who does the scheduling is so unprofessional that you literally are walking on eggshells just to get scheduled. You are indispensable and are reminded of it. The pay is alright but after taxes you really dont make that much. You have long hours and you're fighting with reps for 10 dollars cause the pay structure is 20 dollars and hour 10 dollars a sign up and then you are let go without any warning just because its not a right "fit" after months of radio silence. I really hope they lose their account because of how unprofessional they are with people. They dont treat the employees well and it is very clique-y. Even if you take some time off they reprimanded due to illness they reprimand you by not scheduling for weeks out. The main scheduler is super petty and unprofessional. Plus, you're on your feet all day. 

Applied and went through an interview with this company to start working side jobs at the casinos. 
Was excited to start working with Betting hero but that changed fast. 
Lack of communication- when there was events going on only getting told a day or two days before. Not having any real understanding as far as hands on training etc. 
They tell you if you complete ob and training for them they will pay you $25 this never happened went back and forth with a manager for not only weeks but months about this. If you say you are going to do something it’s the respectful and loyal thing to do so and for the integrity of your company. 
After a hamster wheel of events I decided To cut ties as this company was having issues with the two most important things. Communication and pay. Be careful and do your research. 

When I was hired, it was during a boom of sports events: March Madness, closing in on the end of the NBA season, etc. At the time, I didn't notice it, but in retrospect, they were just finding heads to fill the need. Once March Madness ended, so did my run with Betting Hero.

There was very little training, very little investment in retaining your services with the company. The people were nice, but I didn't feel like a part of a company invested in you. I guess that's what happens when you're an independent contractor.

One last thing - A coworker was nice enough to tell me that management had given me a somewhat non-PC nickname. He didn't think that was right and thought I should know.

This company is what of the best brand agencies I have worked for. They provide all the training and support needed to be successful and comfortable/confident in your role. The hourly pay is great on top of multiple commission and bonus opportunities. They provided consistent hours (based on your available) unlike most other agencies where its very inconsistent. They care about your success and well-being equally.  Communication is awesome with multiple people available for support.

Tips: You must very comfortable approaching people and be knowledgeable of the program and promotion the program is offering. You need to be able to take rejection well as it does come natural with any sale/promotional position and comfortable working alone.

Do not, and I repeat, do not waste your time working for this company!!! to tell you a little bit about my experience I was hired a month and a half ago and worked only one time for three hours, and then was let go a month and a half later after reaching out multiple times and getting no response. I finally got a response from one of the managers saying I was let go. I probably never would have known that I was let go if I did not continue to reach out. Their only reason for letting me go was because they said after working only three hours for one day that I didn’t seem to fit enough for the job, if that’s the case, then don’t even hire me. There’s just so much wrong with this company. It seems great at first but trust me nothing about it is good stay away.

Brand Ambassadors are through a constantly revolving door; Managers are put through a meat grinder. Never has "What have you done for me lately" been more applicable. Average lifespan of a BA is measured in days, of Market Leads is in months. Even though we put on the uniform, are told where and when to work, and have our pay options dictated to us, we are not eligible for healthcare, paid time off, and we even have to pay for what should be the employer's 50% of taxes. Everyone is a contractor and ineligible for all of the above. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothin! They so hungry for money that they’ll step on anyone to get it 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The bosses and they crazy expectations. Being a vet for this company don’t mean nothin 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
To stressful ain’t even worth it toxic toxic toxic

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long a boring. Supervisors like to make people worry bout they job security when they ain’t none.
