Sweep - Sports gaming bot making it ☔ Amazon gift cards

by

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).

Overall, really fun. It’s super easy to use, but harder than you’d think to correctly pick 4 in a row. I’ve already shared with friends and they love it too. Now we have sweep competitions amongst ourselves - who got the most right? Who got the better GIF? Who’s going to be the first to sweep?

Pros:

Quick, easy & free; makes watching sports games fun now that there’s a chance of winning actual $ - without risking any.

Cons:

Normally don’t use FB messenger, but at least the app now gets used on my phone. Could use reminder notifications to select new picks.

I'm very excited to see the continued growth of the tool - it's come a long way since I first started using it.

Pros:

Easy and seamless mechanism already built into a tool I use everyday!

Cons:

Still early stage, so not as many options as I'd like, but it's constantly expanding.

Once they're able to find a way to showcase how well (or not well) my friends are doing, Sweep becomes a game changer in sports betting.

Easy, fun and accessible way to participate in sports betting. Simplicity matters!

Cons:

None come to mind.

As a passionate sports fan but not a big gambler - this is a free way to win some money and make games more interesting to watch -- making it a great product for me! Sweep engages in a endearing way that isn't too pushy - I've won some extra Amazon $$ from two different streaks and enjoyed using it!

Pros:

User friendly, non-pushy, free, easy way to enjoy sports make a little money

Cons:

Not always personally engaged in Messenger APP so forget to use, not every game included in options to pick!

Think the potential for Sweep is enormous. Ease of use, low stakes, and no risk will appeal to a large number of consumers who'd like to add a little spice to watching sports, but don't want to risk their money. Definitely worth trying out

Pros:

Simple, no bot hiccups, don't have to sign in or download new app. path of least resistance

Cons:

Not a con but can't wait for store to be built out

Sweep is awesome and I'm not just saying that because I know the co-founders, lol. I shared it with my entire staff at the elementary school I work at. We're always playing and are excited to see what Sweep will come up with for competing with groups and friends. Teachers don't make much so that Amazon cash definitely comes in handy :)

Pros:

So easy to use and it makes watching your average sports game a thousand times better. I shared it with my teacher friends and we love it!

Cons:

The teachers have spoken...we want MORE games! :)
