Summer editorial interns at BetChicago

BetChicago is looking for summer and fall editorial interns for our soon-to-be-launched website (June 1 target launch).

Who we are. Illinois Sports Gaming LLC is a Chicago-based startup anticipating the legalization of sports betting. The site, branded BetChicago, will be rich in sports news and analysis (with a focus on Chicago and Illinois), as well as betting and fantasy content.

Who you are. Smart, engaged and hard-working. Positive attitude (you work well in a team environment, are coachable and usually have a smile on your face). Excellent writing skills with the knack and confidence to edit your co-workers’ copy. Knowledge and passion for Chicago and national sports. Knowledge and passion for fantasy and sports betting strongly preferred (you know what a money-line and futures odds are). Solid social media footprint and keen marketing sense also preferred. Comfortable producing and posting stories on digital platforms (you know your way around Word Press or a CMS, you know how to embed a video or a tweet, you know how to crop a photo). Comfortable and productive while working remotely. Weekend and night work required.

Interested in learning more? Email your resume and writing samples to Marcus DiNitto, managing editor, at marcusdinitto71@gmail.com with subject line ‘Bet Chicago applicant’).

These internships are unpaid.

 

Hello Marcus, I applied for this job. Any update?

 

Please follow up with an email.

 

Interns for a make-believe company? It’s just like Kramerica Industries.

 

Not at all, Bill. The company is real. If you're not interested, move along.

 

I thought unpaid internships were a thing of the past. And for good reasons.

 

if these are UNPAID, why are they in the PAYING JOB section? dont those normally get moved out of this section?

 

Maybe you get to place a free 20x parlay each week.

 

Or Vandelay Industries

 

Guys I talked with Marcus tonight. Let me tell you this is LEGIT and I honestly think it will rival The Athletic in a few years. He’s offering equity, full health insurance, and stock options. He just can’t pay is all. Really love the energy of this company. I applied and I think I’m gonna apply again just because I feel amazing after listening to Marcus

 

Hey, sounds great. Food and housing are overrated anyway. ... Where do I sign?

 

so, does applying for the same job twice mean you are competing against yourself in terms of trying to get the chance to work for free?
