About Betr
Founded in 2022 by Joey Levy and Jake Paul, Betr is building the world’s first real money gaming super app. The company’s first product, Betr Picks, launched in September 2023 and quickly grew to several hundreds of thousands of paying users. Betr plans on launching multiple additional new nationwide gaming verticals within its single app experience in 2025 to further differentiate its product offering. In addition to its single-app experience, Betr’s gaming products are differentiated through a unique, simplified user interface that is catered to the casual sports fan, enabling Betr to capture more of the under-penetrated online gaming addressable market.
