Invest in the future of betting
You probably know that the online betting industry is booming. But what you may not realize is how frustrated users are getting.
While traditional betting operators rake in billions, they’ve alienated many of their users with high fees, outdated UX, and predatory practices.
No predatory bookies.
No house edge.
Just people betting against each other…on sports, politics, pop culture, and more
And a growing community of engaged users building their own betting networks with friends
Today, you have the chance to invest in Kutt on Republic and become part of this transformation.
Sports betting is on fire, but it's at an inflection point. Users are looking for transparency, fairness, and social engagement. Kutt is a place where betting is fair, fun, and deeply social.
Why invest in Kutt?
Huge market. The US alone generates $15 billion annually in sports betting revenue. It ain't going anywhere.
Unique P2P angle. Unlike traditional sportsbooks, Kutt is a peer-to-peer betting platform, meaning users bet directly against each other with no “House” advantage.
Scalable business model. Kutt earns 3% on every bet placed — lower than traditional platforms while still maintaining strong margins.
Proven traction. Kutt had $520k+ in 2024 revenue. $1 million raised from early investors. Betting is legal in 40 states, and Kutt is approved to operate in al of them.
