Rebet launches social free-to-play sportsbook product in the US

Sports betting company Rebet has announced the official launch of its free-to-play social sportsbook. The Rebet App is now available for download in the App Store across 47 US states.

The company asserts that the platform will "revolutionize" the sports betting experience with features, including "an entire social sportsbook, peer-to-peer contests, and dynamic user social feeds."

The Rebet App will provide users access to official and real-time data for more than 60 professional and college sports leagues. The app was founded by current Dartmouth College students with backgrounds in economics, technology, entrepreneurship, and software development.

According to a statement, Rebet aims to take a community-centric approach to the social sports betting experience. The company plans to make its product "accessible, fun, and inclusive for everyone, allowing sports fans of all kinds to connect, share, and celebrate their love for sports."

Carson Hubbard, CEO of Rebet: “Sports fandom is about our desire for social interaction and community, and until today those elements have been missing in both traditional and social sportsbooks."

“Rebet is revolutionizing this experience with all the essential elements of the sports betting experience in one easy-to-use and interactive app. We know users are going to love our experience and we are thrilled to introduce Rebet to the world.”

The company says that Rebet "reimagines" the conventional sports betting journey, enhancing it with a social dimension that encourages interaction among sports fans. Through its social media feeds, Rebet takes features like followers, posts, comments, and DM "to create an engaging community atmosphere."

“Today is a historic day for Rebet as we are bringing together the sports betting community like never before in a seamless app offering unprecedented features,” said Bella DiGiovanni, CMO of Rebet. “With access to official data across all their favorite sports, we are providing our community with a new, and incredible, experience on Rebet.”

The app was named after its signature 'Rebet' button, which facilitates collaboration among users by giving community members the option to duplicate anyone’s pick with a click of a button.

“The app also revolutionizes the sports betting experience by introducing an unparalleled peer-to-peer contest feature, setting a new standard in the industry,” Rebet says. “This innovative approach transforms the traditional sportsbook landscape by empowering users to engage directly with their friends in spirited competition, challenging each other's sports knowledge and strategies.”

Moreover, the company says, unlike conventional platforms where wagers are placed against predetermined odds or the house, Rebet's feature "places the power in the hands of the players."

"Users can now create personalized contests, set their own terms, and compete in a more dynamic, interactive environment, deepening the social connections within the community, making every wager a personal duel of wits and prediction prowess," Rebet said in a press statement.
