I love everything about this. Are you planning on adding any other sports in the future? Big UFC fan!

@jakemor Hey Jake! Thanks for the comment. We're definitely planning on adding more sports in the future. We're starting with the NHL, NCAAB, and NBA primarily because they have the steadiest set of games right now. We'll definitely look at UFC and other offerings, but you'll definitely see us offer more sports soon :)

Hey Product Hunters! Happy March Madness Week - the best week of the year, for us 🏀 fans. I don't know about you, but we’re hoping our Sun Devils make a run at the Final Four. I’ve been running fantasy and gaming pools since the 4th grade schoolyard. My Co-Founder, Ryan, is a former D1 athlete and self-taught coder. We’ve combined our love of sports and tech and are excited to launch what we’ve been building for the past 6 months! Sweep is a sports gaming bot focused on making it quick and easy to have fun while watching March Madness (and more sports) - while also rewarding fans with Amazon gift cards. We're building this because as sports fans, we never felt like we’ve truly found a product that allowed us to have fun while watching games in a fun, casual, and legal way. We took elements from what we love about HQ (Free game --> Real Prizes) and Poncho (Personality-Driven Bot), to build Sweep. Our vision is to give people a playable way to get back to the ♥️ of the game. We'll be here all day answering questions from the community. Give it a try and provide us some feedback - specifically around the way we offer games to be selected, as we’re trying a custom approach with dynamic images populating based on the pull requests. We’re all ears and want to improve the product as much as possible. P.S. We're giving everyone who checks us out from Product Hunt three lifelines to start, so it’ll be a bit easier to complete your first Sweep 😉 Cheers! 👋 Ben

@benmlevy Nice work Ben and Ryan! Love the fact that there is no app - I think there is a lot of app fatigue nowadays. How does one check to see how many lifelines they have?

@daviswbaer Hey Davis, we're working through how to show that more effectively - we'd love any ideas you have! Right now, we're giving you the chance to see your Sweepcoins and the exchange rate (30 sweepcoins = 1 lifeline) What do you think of that approach? Was that not intuitively clear?

Congrats on the launch guys, I've enjoyed playing around with the beta so far! Can you share a bit about how you plan to monetize this?

@j_sherz Thanks for the question! Right now, we're primarily building Sweep to learn about what consumers want in a sports game. Our longer term goal is to start creating in-app virtual goods (think more mobile games than your traditional fantasy sports games) + look at opportunities if/when sports betting becomes legalized in the US. Thanks for asking - and pumped that you're enjoying Sweep!!

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

Being Ben’s girlfriend definitely has its perks...like supporting a Product Hunt launch at midnight on a school night. But, hey, I’m the resident GIF expert for Sweep. Check out the product and let me know what you think of my GIF selections!

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.
