Hi everyone. I'm new to this website. Anyway, I am looking for ways to open a sportsbook. I read some sportsbook pay per head reviews but do not know what to look for in a PPH solution. Can someone tell me what features I need as a new bookie?

I agree, more detail about your operation is needed

There are a lot of betting products you can offer. If you look through the latest sports interactive news, you will see that there are dozens and dozens of sports leagues and tournaments. Will you be offering all of those or will you want to offer specific events for a specific clientele?

It is a small operation with at least ten players. Also, it will be a side gig because I still have a regular 9-to-5 job. I'm currently considering signing up some of my buddies at work. I hope these answers can give you an idea of what type of sportsbook I will open.

in that case, just any bookie pph service will work as all of them will have the basic setup in terms of sports betting options available.  I would make sure that whatever company you choose offers live betting as its a pretty popular in my book.

I wouldnt worry about having a casino as most bettors dont really use them

@gurucapper Thanks for the answers! I'll check if the PPH provider includes live betting options.
