The parties shall have a split of fees.
Brian Foy, CMO of Winners stated, “After the acquisition of my company The Longshot Report by Winners, football season was just starting, so we had to first lay out and build the proven funnel and foundation all while proving the revenue model. We have been implementing and working on this subscription model for four plus years now, so with experience and historical data it was seamless to implement VegasWinners picks into the funnel. Subscription revenues are continuing to come in daily and we don’t see a stop to them anytime soon.”
Wayne Allyn Root, CEO of Winners, stated, "This was our first-ever test of a digital marketing campaign to sell our handicapping advice to sports gamblers. We’ve been a leader in the sports handicapping industry for 38 years. In all that time, we only advertised on television and radio. Today digital marketing is the only cost-effective way to advertise. We purchased The LongShot Report last year. Brian Foy, its CEO, is an expert in digital marketing. We decided to use the four months of NFL 2022 as a test. We tested with a very small amount of money. We were literally shocked by the results. The response to Brian's digital marketing campaign was outstanding. It was beyond our wildest expectations. We spent very little money and received back very favorable sales CPA (“cost per acquisition”) from September to December 2022. And without spending any further money, we produced subscription renewal sales from January through March 2023. And in our off-season (post-March Madness), subscription renewals continue to come in. We've found a winning formula. This fall, we plan to invest substantial money into digital marketing. And we now have a second powerful revenue stream, as we now have signed affiliate revenue-sharing partnerships for sports with many of the biggest names in the casino and sportsbook industry."
