Mar 21 2024 • 34 mins

Ep. 107 features Johnny Coetzer from BetLabs, which is reinvigorating the sports betting experience for bettors while helping operators elevate their game.

Hear him discuss:

  • The lessons he learned playing chess and tennis growing up, and how they prepared him for life as an entrepreneur
  • How his idea for Boost Bets was derived from the spread betting concept (except it provides the downside protection for players that spread betting doesn’t)
  • Why he’s prioritizing working with platform providers as his primary distribution strategy
  • B2B sales and the challenges of getting a product prioritized on an operator or platform provider’s roadmap
  • Winning the pitch competition at last week’s SiGMA Africa event in Cape Town
  • The insights from the recently published ‘Game Changers’ report published by BettingStartups.com, which included data from 68 industry startups (Free download at Next.io!)
