So you’ve mastered the art of blackjack like no one else. Your friends and, most importantly, your opponents are in awe. What’s next? How to turn those skills into… well, something tangible (preferably cash)?
Participate in Blackjack Championships
The most obvious way to monetize your blackjack expertise is to actually compete with other players for money. For instance, Spinanga hosts regular blackjack championships that last a couple of days and offer pretty good wins (the pool is typically around $5k). The competition isn’t fierce here, there’s usually a hundred or so players competing. The best thing about it is that you can participate with only $1.
If you don’t have much experience playing online, it makes sense to, first, play in the demo mode, just to get used to the mechanics. On the same Spinanga site, you can use this mode even as an unregistered player. You go to the site, find table games, find a blackjack title you want to practice in, and press “demo.” Not all titles are available in this mode but some are (e.g., Blackjack by Skywind).
Play Blackjack Games Online
A championship isn’t the only online format worth your attention. It’s cool because of the competition vibes but championships are time-sensitive. Alternatively, you have live dealer blackjack games that are available 24/7. There are titles with different stakes, different twists to the classic rules, and so on.
If you aren’t happy about playing with a live dealer, you can play traditional blackjack games such as the aforementioned Blackjack by Skywind. That is, you first practice in the free mode, then, play for real money.
Stream How You Play Blackjack
If you are comfortable with using Twitch and YouTube, you can also stream your blackjack sessions. You’ll be actually surprised by how many people are eager to watch others playing high-stakes games. You can build a following (not at once, of course) and monetize your channel through
- ads
- subscriptions
- donations.
To succeed as a streamer, you’ll need to engage with your audience. For example, you can explain your strategies and thought processes during the game. You can also offer live commentary and answer viewers’ questions during streams. After all, everyone loves interacting.
If your channel becomes popular, you may even partner with online casinos (if they have an affiliate program). This can bring you quite a lot of money, in fact.
Write How-To Posts About Blackjack
If you are good not only in blackjack but in writing, too, that may be a pretty beneficial combo. For example, you can create detailed how-to guides and articles about blackjack. Many blogs and online publications are willing to pay for high-quality content that is truly useful to readers. It may seem that the Internet is overwhelmed with content but if you can provide high-quality texts, that’s a whole different story. You can write about strategies, common mistakes, and tips that really work.
To start, there are, in fact, two different avenues. The first is to create your own blog (it seems to be more reasonable and promising). The second is to contribute to established gambling websites. As an alternative, you can compile your knowledge into an e-book or online course that readers can purchase. Not necessarily but it might work.
Offer Coaching Services
Let’s be honest, people love coaches today. So the final idea is to offer coaching services to aspiring blackjack players. Many individuals can be willing to pay for personalized guidance to improve their game so you can offer
- one-on-one coaching sessions
- group workshops
- even host webinars covering various aspects of blackjack strategy.
This idea may be best mixed with that of a blog post. First, you create cool content and build a following. Then, when people love your expertise, you can offer more in a course format.
Needless to say, you must use social media and online communities to promote your offerings. It’s also a good idea to provide free introductory sessions or content — this always helps to build a reputation and encourage word-of-mouth referrals. As you gain more clients, you can expand your services and increase your rates. As a result, your blackjack expertise may turn into an additional source of revenue.
