TLDR, I’m looking for advice on how to get the first few customers to use the online sports gambling bot I built. I think it is SaaS but apologies in advance if not.
My bot automatically places bets at bookmakers. It is only betting for me at the moment, using my money and my bookie accounts, no outside customers. It has been live for 18 months and it's stable, fast and as a result making great profit.
I’m really pleased with progress so far but I think I can take this project further by finding customers to also use the bot. My idea is for them to have their own instance, using the same tech as i do but using their own accounts, money and strategies (what bets to place). I've made a couple of small enquiries so far to see if there is any interest and the feedback I've had is that the functionality and product is attractive but as i'm a new company with no customers it seems risky eg maybe there are security issues that might compromise their bookie accounts etc.
I’m looking for advice how to get my first customer. I’m open to giving access for free at first to get feedback or any other ideas that sound promising. Also if you think it’s a terrible idea more than happy to hear that feedback too. I don’t have a website fyi.
No coding would be required by the customer unless they wanted to write the code for their betting strategy themselves. The strategies i use are pretty simple, no complicated models or algos but if a customer wanted to use something like that then that would be possible too.
