The client, posting from Ontario, Canada, said an experienced graphic designer was needed in the U.S. to replicate the “look and feel” of FanDuel betting tickets, including getting fonts, spacing, layout, and formatting to match the real thing.
The post said that the design freelancer would be given a real ticket with the intent to alter the wager, win, and other numbers. Exactly why the numbers need to be changed or how this fake slip would be used in marketing was not specified.
Social media is littered with people selling picks and using betting slips to try to prove that they are wagering on the games they’re giving to customers.
Just like the real thing
The client requested that the duplicate be “100% indistinguishable from the original to the consumer.”
The posting for the remote job sought someone to work 30-plus hours a week for the next one-to-three months, with the possibility of long-term work.
The listed rate was $15-$30 per hour, labeled as “competitive pay for what should be a straightforward project if you have the right skill set.”
Not the first time
The person who discovered the listing and posted it on X also found that the same client once sought someone to place bets on FanDuel on the client's behalf.
The task was to use “my research to build unique home runs and first basket” parlays. The pay range was $100-$250 per week, and the freelancer needed to live in the U.S.

Placing wagers for someone else is prohibited in many American legal sports betting jurisdictions.
