Invite BetBot to your server! (BETA): INVITE
This is the very first discord sports betting bot created (That I was able to find)! This has not been done before due to the privitization of sports betting API's. I created my own UFC API https://github.com/erobin27/UFC-API that allows me to get data from the UFC website. I then present this data to the user through the discord bot. Users can place bets using their balance. User's balance, wagers, discord id, and past wagers are all stored in a DynamoDB database.
What is special about this project?
- Users are determined by their static discord UID so their account info is kept across any discord server
- Makes use of the new discord components and ephemeral messaging
- Can place bets in real time and verify that the fights have not started/ended
I plan on continuing to build this project up. Currently the stack I am using is as follows.
- TypeScript
- DiscordJS
- NestJS
- Puppetteer
- DynamoDB
To get started clone the repo to your local machine and begin installing it's dependencies. You will need to setup your discord token and database connection info in a .env file in the project directory.
To run this app you will need to install nodejs, yarn, and nestjs
- Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/erobin27/BetBot.git
- Install python dependecies with yarn
yarn install
- run the API, Backend, and FrontEnd individually with
yarn start:dev
This is a way for people to make the UFC fights more engaging and fun without the harmful effects of gambling with real world money. I intend to make BetBot very interactive with leaderboards, xp ranks, etc. The betting process is not without risk since user balance is stored and after losing your money you would have to earn more but this definitely beats going broke in the real world from betting.
- Allow users to place bets
- Check bets and award winners
- list previous wagers and outcome
- [] Add a way for users to earn money
- [] Add a ranking/xp system
- [] Add server leaderboards
