Interesting stuff and the ARPU generated from gambling revs will ofcourse be a massive draw to devs looking to use the Betable API. We're working on a social sports prediction game with a football(soccer) focus at launch but have consciously avoided building in gambling mechanics. We will run with an affiliate model where we can achieve around 15-30% of a users lifetime value from the provider.
Our aim is to focus on the gameplay and have the cash betting as an extra. With such tricky global regulations this frees us up to pick and choose partners that meet local laws and expand into regulated markets with new models.Of course Betable would prove a great expansion of our product in future.
Interested to hear HN's thoughts (affiliate vs betable) and would love you all to play and inform our beta later in the year: www.betstars.co.uk
