Brick by Brick: Building the OnTopPicks Sports Lounge

Help Me Build the First OnTopPicks Sports Lounge — Where Games, Bets, & Community Collide

Hey everyone! My name is Charles Ellis, and I’m the solo owner and creator of OnTopPicks — a growing online sports betting and content brand built from passion, hustle, and a deep love for competition.

For years, I’ve helped everyday fans become sharper bettors, built a loyal community of sports lovers, and created original content that brings people together through sports. Now, I’m ready to take it offline.

My dream is to open a sports lounge like no other — a place where people can:

• Bet head to head on sports or games (legally and socially)

• Compete in video game tournaments like Madden, UFC, or NBA2K

• Watch live sports with good food, chill vibes, and community energy

• Connect with others who love the thrill of the game as much as I do

I’ve always found joy in bringing people together through competition—whether it’s fantasy leagues, wagers, or game night trash talk. This lounge is a way to level that up and offer something unique to the community.

But as a solo business owner, I can’t make this leap alone. I need your help.

Whether it’s $5, $50, or just sharing this with someone who’d love it — every bit helps. Your support will go toward:

• Securing a small venue

• Getting licenses and proper setup

• TVs, consoles, and furniture

• Event hosting and community giveaways

This is more than just a lounge — it’s a movement. A place to vibe, win, lose, eat, laugh, and connect.

Thanks for being part of the OnTopPicks family — let’s build something unforgettable.
