Listen Later

Ep. 155 features Co-Founders Ty D'Amore and Justin Järvinen from Bankroll U, which is a platform designed to educate bettors while providing a gamified environment that mimics real-money betting.


Hear them discuss:

  • How a barrage of sportsbook ads sparked the idea for BankrollU
  • Why simulated betting is the best way to learn without going broke
  • The unique progression system that lets users prove they can win before earning real cash bonuses
  • Justin’s journey from venture studios and fintech to jumping on board with BankrollU
  • Ty’s experience scaling a tech company to a NASDAQ public listing and what he’s applying to BankrollU
  • The months of legal hurdles they tackled to make this model work
  • Why they see BankrollU as an educational tool, not a sportsbook or affiliate
  • The early traction they’re seeing and why players keep coming back
  • Why self-funding the company gives them an edge in building the best product
  • How they’re building a sports betting community that’s all about learning and winning
  • Their five-year vision—making bettors wonder how they ever placed a bet without this
