Research Opportunity for Sports Bettors

[metalabresearch]

Hey there! I'm a user researcher at Metalab. We're a design agency based in Canada and we make apps, websites, and products. You can check out some of our work at https://metalab.com. Right now, we are partnering with a client in the sports betting and cryptocurrency space. We are hoping to learn more about people's motivations, behaviours, and needs when it comes to sports betting and cryptocurrency. As such, we are looking for a number of folks to chat with us about their experiences in a 1:1 interview!

What to expect:

• The session will take 60 minutes of your time between January 14th - 17th and will be facilitated over Zoom.
• You will chat 1-on-1 with a user researcher at Metalab.
• The session will be an open and casual conversation to help us better understand your needs, drivers, and goals around online sports betting.
• As a token of our appreciation, you will be compensated with $300 USD for participating in the session (in the form of a gift card to a retailer of your choice).

If this sounds interesting to you, please complete this 5-minute screening survey linked below:

If you meet the requirements for this project, a researcher will be in contact with you to schedule a session.

As much as I have not clicked the link that you posted, I would like to say that the majority of the gamblers on this board are all sports bettors and bookies are frequently promoted here because of the role that forum members' participation plays in the development and promotions of most sport booking sites that we have around the forum, so at such if you want to make an offer, first few things, either you hire a manager that will design your offer and present it to the forum, or you escrow the promised $300 for each participant to guarantee that members will get paid at the end of the 1:1 chat

If it's a $300 gift card, would you mind telling us the list of this retailer you mean?

If the giftcard only works on the sportsbooks that do not support crypto and are not well-known, then maybe no one will take this opportunity.
I think it's better to look for escrow about this or a manager here on the forum who can handle this and ask the community in the services section because I don't heard any well-known crypto sportsbooks here on the forum where you can use a giftcard except for using redeem codes.

Yes of course! We use Tremendous to compensate our research participants. There are more than 200 redemption options in the US, including popular retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. The list of gift cards available varies by country, but you would be able to choose to redeem the amount to one of the retailers listed here: https://www.tremendous.com/catalog/

Hope that helps clarify

Why does it have to be in the form of a gift card? Can’t it just be paid in crypto since we’re already in the crypto space?

I mean, the pay is quite interesting, $300 for a simple job, if I’m not mistaken - but getting paid in a gift card, especially here in our country, isn’t very practical. I wouldn’t even know how to use it. Anyway, good luck! I hope you find people interested in taking the job.

The session will take 60 minutes of your time between January 14th - 17th and will be facilitated over Zoom.

Does this have to be a video chat, or will participants be able to disable their camera for their privacy?

As a token of our appreciation, you will be compensated with $300 USD for participating in the session (in the form of a gift card to a retailer of your choice).

Does the payment come at the end of the entire sessions? If yes, what are the guarantees that the payment will be made?

I will suggest that you take the risk as you have no reputation here. Select only highly reputable and experienced users here to join, pay them upfront then run the sessions.

$300 for one hour? The offer sounds good but there are some reservations. You just registered in the forum and came up with this business offer. Many people might not trust you since you don't have a reputation in the forum. Maybe you could use an escrow or hire the service of a trusted manager to handle the process. You can find many of them in the service section of the forum. It would also be good if you included crypto currencies as your Payment options.

If you definitely want this project to gain the expected attention you have hoped for before dropping it here in the community then it would be that you take the recommendation given by other users about having the $300 respective distribution to qualified participants under a reputable escrow in the forum or better still allow a campaign manager use his wealth of knowledge and experience in the forum to run this project for you guys while you  guys assess and monitor from behind.

Why does it have to be in the form of a gift card? Can’t it just be paid in crypto since we’re already in the crypto space?.

Same thought that came to mind reading about paying in gift card when they claim to be partnering with some sports betting cryptocurrency clients. Why not pay in BTC or in stable coins to participants for convenience.

Can you tell us more about rules, and how many people are going to get $300 gift cards for participating?
Another thing I want to know before start answering questions is do we have to share any of out personal information, name, address and other personal stuff?
Visa card and Paypal sounds very good for general purpose, but I could use other gift cards for Amazon and other shops.

If form what you plan to present have the quality of the contents needed, then am sure that members will give a try on it, but if from the first impression given was not encouraging, they may not have a take on what you offer as well, so i will advice that you sit up and make it worthwhile for gamblers to see it as something they needed from your service, i wish you best of luck throughout.

The fact that ops have been inactive to to few comments on this thread shows that our suspension should be more because if he had any good offer he should have been around after creating the thread to answer queries from forum members, as you can see, he has failed to answer my first comment or show how he intended to coordinate the survey and also get the rewards across to those who may pick the interest or how many participants are going to be answer and qualify for the survey rewards, $300 gift is not a small amount so for that we likely going to have a few members willing to take the one-hour offers, but overall approach to this is very poor.

Good point, TBH. Especially with scam jobs being rampant in the space, it's understandable for reputable members to be skeptical—quality chances wise, you'd want to screen reputed members the most.

I hope they'd at least chime in the thread before they close the form. And hopefully get in touch with an escrow—perhaps they could lock X amount of any major crypto in escrow as a fall back plan for folks who worry they won't deliver the gift card or there'd be problem/s when it gets delivered. Unless there's a way to verify the gift cards are authentic and works without redeeming, then the process should be easier.

OP, I suggest you listen to what other members here are saying. To get your desired audience, you should escrow the funds here with any reputable member. If I may ask you, this is a Bitcoin platform, so why do you want to make it a gift card for members?  It would not interest many members here because of what you have said but it is still good you contracted a reputable manager to handle it for you as they would implore their expertise to make sure a good result is obtained from the exercise.

[Chato1977]

it is an obvious way of you promoting this here pretending that you are just a user but the truth is you are the owner or a part of the team .

looks like many of us are not interested in clicking the links lol.

I hope OP comes back and goes online again here to answer all the questions and concerns about the opportunity he's offering. I’d also like to see his responses to the users who asked questions before I check out and complete the survey to see how organized and transparent this really is. But I’ve already seen the catalog he shared and it’s great to see a wide range of reputable redemption options available in my country.

This sounds interesting but on the other way, we have to be more careful about the offers you're are giving, there is nothing bad in testing the use of your site as well as the service you provides, but most of this are being done through review campaigns, also, talking about the payment method, i don't know why you mostly preferred the use of gift card that worth up to that amount and not consider the any other payment medium, because we don't know which kind of gift card you may later give as compensation and if the participants will appreciate such or not.
