A pivot of the rideshare tablet idea, proposed by Greg as a deliberately 'bad idea that makes the world worse but prints money': turn the in-car screens into mini casinos/sportsbooks. Partner with betting companies (FanDuel, etc.) to offer games, free bet credits via QR scan, and live prediction-market bets (e.g. countdown election or game outcomes) to a captive, often intoxicated, audience headed to sports or nightlife.
Opportunity3.8
Why now
Sports betting is becoming legal and widespread, and captive rideshare audiences to sports venues are a 'dream' targeting opportunity for sportsbooks.
Market gap
No one is monetizing captive rideshare screens via direct sportsbook CPA/free-bet offers or live prediction-market betting.
Business fit
Type

Rideshare passengers heading to bars/sports/nightlife; sportsbooks wanting captive audiences
Revenue
Speculatively framed as a potential $100M+ company
