It started in one bar.
Then it grew to ten.
The model began in a single Chicago sports bar in 2022, with one simple idea: put a knowledgeable guide on the floor who could answer a fan's betting questions and walk them through their first sign-up.
It worked. Fans got real help instead of a confusing app, venues saw guests stay longer, and the bar became Google's #1-rated sports bar in Chicago. From there the model expanded to ten Chicago venues, representing ten sportsbook partners.
Everything since has been about scale. The Virtual Betting Ambassador productizes what those guides did in person — the same welcoming, expert experience, now available 24/7 to every fan, in every venue, on every screen.
