From the employer
Setting the Stage
Sports betting content is exploding, but the experience around it is fragmented. Talented sports handicappers (“cappers”) are building large audiences, while bettors are searching for people they trust and an edge. Today, that happens across social media, messaging apps, sportsbooks, and other tools. DubClub brings it together in one place; helping cappers build their businesses and bettors discover, follow, and act on the people they trust..
Our Vision and Our Mission:
DubClub is building the destination where cappers and fans Win More Together.
For fans: DubClub is creating unified and highly valuable experience for fans that love tailing cappers. Get the best advice, in the smoothest fashion, and enjoy rewards that keep you engaged.
For cappers: DubClub is a business-building engine that helps you turn your passion into a profitable business. Cappers are the stars of the game, and enjoy a best-in-class operating system, automated marketing, and purpose-built discovery that grows their business on auto-pilot.
For DubClub: It’s the ecosystem and unified "Win More Together" experience that cappers and fans have been waiting for. It's the value-add layer that brings richness to the experience of betting, tailing, and discovering new cappers.
