Sweep has built a bot to help you pick sports games and get Amazon Gift Cards when you hit 4 wins in a row. No app to download, you can play via chat in Facebook Messenger. The team has experience from FanDuel and is a part of WeWork’s Area 51 (W18).

Love the product. It’s easy, quick and I can win free cash for picking sports winners. Are there any plans to make it social? I’d love to plan against my friends. Good luck today!

@baumwoll Hey Mike, Thanks for the note! Our next big focus is making it more social (maybe a Product Hunt 2.0 launch?) Our current plans are to integrate the ability to see how your friends are doing, challenge them, and use in-app virtual goods (think bombs to blow up their streaks). Having played a bit, are there any features that you'd be most excited about? Thanks!! Ben

I played Sweep for the first time and won! Got my Amazon gift card right away. I’m not a gambler but this is a fun way for me to watch games on the weekend and win prizes at the same time.

@austinhahn Thanks for playing Sweep, Austin! I hope you got something great with that Amazon gift card!!!

Nice -- like how you guys figured out how to do this without winning cash
Ben Levy
@codecamcode Thanks - appreciate you checking us out!! Now go rack up those Amazon gift cards haha

Congrats on launching this! It'd be super exciting to work with your data to see what teams are public favorites and if you could have guessed line movements based on that.
Ben Levy
@fanahova Thanks! I see you're an esports guy - where do you look for those types of lines now? I think once we have a big enough userbase we should be able to predict line movement. The core question will be are free users indicative of real-money gamers?
Alessio Fanelli
@benmlevy I don't gamble on eSports but I know William Hill has lines for a lot of events. I also read /r/sportsbook and they have a daily eSports thread on there. I think a lot of money gamers are just people following the teams they like (as a Giants fan I bet against the Eagles in any way I could at the last SB 😂); the sharks won't be using this app anyway since they are too busy studying games haha
Ben Levy
@fanahova For sure - I definitely agree with you. Sweep is 100% more of a product for the casual gamer than the shark
Christopher Eriksen
Awesome product. Easy and fun!
