At TrueBet, we’re revolutionizing the way people bet on sports. Instead of paying the juice or vig to a sportsbook, TrueBet lets you place bets directly with your friends. The result? A more communal and profitable experience for everyone in your group. What could be better? Here’s your answer:
TrueBet truly shines when your group is active and growing. We make it easy to grow your private group into a vibrant, trusted community of sports enthusiasts. More members mean more betting action, faster acceptance of your bets, and a seamless experience for everyone.
If you’re new to TrueBet or looking to expand your group, here’s a guide to help you grow your private betting community effectively. (If you just need an email message to copy / paste to prospective group members, skip to the end)
1. Start With Your Core Circle
Building your group begins with the people you know best. TrueBet is the best solution for betting with friends, family, or colleagues and settling up at the end of each week (on Tuesday mornings). You can start small by inviting:
- Close friends who share your love for sports.
- Family members who enjoy a little friendly competition.
- Coworkers or teammates who love betting but hate paying the vig.
This core circle doesn’t need to be big—just a few active, enthused participants can get the ball rolling. Groups that start with strong foundations tend to grow naturally.
2. Expand Through Friends of Friends
Once your core group is up and running, encourage your core group of friends to invite some of their friends. This method is one of the easiest and most effective ways to grow your group. Your group can really take off quickly!
Here’s why it works:
- Built-In Trust: If your friends trust someone, chances are you can too.
- Social Growth: Groups that expand through personal connections stay active.
TrueBet groups that grow to over 20+ people place the most vig-free bets, and in very large groups (100+ members), bets are almost always accepted immediately—there’s always someone ready to take the action!
3. Tap Into Existing Social Communities
Think about the communities you’re already a part of. TrueBet can integrate seamlessly into these and make them far more fun. Such as:
- Fantasy Football Leagues: If you’re already competing with your league, adding betting to the mix is a no-brainer. Simply send your group invitation link to members of your fantasy league.
- Sports Pools: Treat your TrueBet group like a pool or survivor pool, but with normal betting instead of set brackets or challenges.
- Sports Bar Friend Groups: If you regularly watch games with a group, TrueBet can elevate the experience by letting everyone place bets in real time. Sit back and let the trash talking begin.
- Golf Groups: There is a high correlation between people who play golf and those who bet on sports. Invite your favorite golf buddies to your TrueBet group.
TrueBet is ideal for these groups and creates a layer of excitement and competition beyond just rooting for your favorite teams.
4. The TrueBet Message
When inviting new members, don’t just focus on the what—emphasize the why. Here’s what makes TrueBet different and will get your friends excited to join your group:
- No Juice or Vig: With TrueBet, you keep all of your winnings since there’s no middleman taking a cut.
- Simplified Settlements: TrueBet tracks all bets and calculates the fewest payments required to settle up at the end of each week, saving everyone time and hassle. No more spreadsheets!
- Instant Action in Big Groups: Larger groups mean faster bet acceptance and a huge variety of proposed bets. Watch as your friends get crazy with “custom” bets with their own odds.
Highlighting these benefits helps ensure that most friends you invite will join your TrueBet group.
5. Encourage Active Participation
A group only thrives when its members are engaged. Once your group is established, keep it active by creating a culture of participation and excitement. Each week is a new contest and a new chance to place more bets with no juice. If you’re the group owner, you can even send out messages to your entire group.
