In the world of sports betting, effective player management is crucial for running a smooth and profitable sportsbook. One of the most powerful tools available to agents is the Player Management section within your agent site. In this guide, we will break down the essential features you’ll need to master, specifically focusing on Player Profiles and Profile Limits. These two functions give you the flexibility to customize betting options and limits for each individual player, ensuring that your sportsbook operates efficiently while minimizing risks.

We’ll cover everything from adjusting player settings to managing bet limits for different sports, and explain how these tools can enhance your betting platform.

A Player Profile is the set of rules and restrictions that defines the betting options available to a player, particularly for parlays, teasers, and special bets. This profile allows agents to customize settings for individual players based on their betting habits and risk levels.

Player Profile Settings:

The default profile configuration is 10C/6P/6T/3ST, which refers to:

• 10C: A 10-cent line, offering better payouts compared to higher juice lines.
• 6P: A 6-team parlay max limit.
• 6T: A 6-team teaser max limit.
• 3ST: A 3-team special teaser limit.

These parameters give the agent the ability to set specific limits on how many teams a player can include in a parlay or teaser, as well as the type of line they’ll bet on. This is particularly useful when you have players who frequently bet on parlays or teasers, and you want to manage your exposure.

Changing a player’s profile is simple and can be done directly through the Player Management section. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Player Management: Once logged into your agent site, go to the Player Management page.
2. Select the Player: Scroll through the list to find the player you want to edit, and click on their name.
3. Scroll Down to Profiles: Once the player’s details appear, scroll to the bottom of the page to find the “Profiles” section.
4. Select a New Profile: From the drop-down menu, choose the profile that best fits the player’s needs and click Save.

It’s important to note that some settings, such as the max payout for parlays, open spots, max risk amount, and max number of underdogs in a parlay, require direct assistance from your agent support representative. If you need to modify any of these features, simply contact Real Bookies’ support team, and they will assist you in making the necessary changes.

The Profile Limits feature enables you to set maximum wager amounts for different sports and bet types. This feature helps you manage how much money a player can wager on a single event, limiting your potential liability on high-risk players.

Managing Profile Limits is straightforward, and similar to the process of changing Player Profiles.

Here’s how you do it:

1. Go to Player Management: Once again, start by navigating to the Player Management section of your agent site.
2. Select the Player: Find and select the player you wish to adjust the limits for.
3. Scroll to Profile Limits: At the bottom of the page, you’ll see the Profile Limits section, which provides a summary of the current limits.
4. Choose a New Limit Profile: Pick the profile that best matches the player’s betting style and risk level, and click Save.

Each limit profile contains preset values for maximum bets across various sports categories and wager types. For example, a player with a $5,000 profile limit might only be allowed to bet $300 on a specific sport due to other online wager caps. The system always applies the lower limit to protect both the agent and the sportsbook.

It’s important to remember that the system will automatically enforce the lower limit between the profile setting and any global maximums in place for online wagers. Here’s how it works:

• Scenario 1: If a player has a $5,000 profile limit, but the online max for that particular sport is set at $300, the system will apply the $300 limit.
• Scenario 2: Conversely, if a player’s profile limit is set at $1,000, and the online maximum is $5,000, the system will apply the lower $1,000 profile limit.

This ensures that the sportsbook is never exposed to more risk than necessary while maintaining a fair betting experience for the player.

When dealing with high-risk or non-recreational players, it’s crucial to set limits that mitigate potential losses. Here are some additional strategies to apply alongside Profile Limits:

• Lower Limits on Specific Leagues: If a sharp player consistently bets on obscure leagues or lesser-known markets, consider reducing the betting limits for these events. This can prevent the player from exploiting softer lines and reduce your liability.
• Differentiate Limits by Bet Type: You don’t have to apply the same limits to every type of bet. Set stricter limits for more volatile bet types like totals and spreads, while allowing slightly higher limits for moneylines, where the risk may be lower.
• Apply Line Delays: Use a 10 to 15-second delay before accepting a wager from a known sharp player. This gives you time to adjust lines if necessary, preventing them from taking advantage of early line movements.

Sometimes, you’ll need to make more detailed adjustments that aren’t available within the Player Management system. For more complex changes—such as modifying maximum payouts for parlays or adjusting the maximum number of open spots—you can always rely on the support team at Real Bookies.
