What is my best option here?

I run a professional gambling business and as you might already know, marketing is pretty hard and mostly restricted in this category. One of my ideas was to try generate clients through direct marketing/organic. Basically, women who talk to the hundreds of men that DM them, then those who fit my criteria, they try to funnel into my opportunity. Apart from that, some direct marketing as well where they're the ones sliding in DMs. I wanted to generate instagram/tiktok/tinder accounts of mostly pretty women and I have 3 options, all 3 are pretty difficult to implement and I wonder which one is worth putting my efforts into:

1) AI ''models'' - making accounts with AI-generated women videos and photos - problem is I don't really know how to make ultra-realistic 'models'. I made a thread but the replies were the usual - people generating chatgpt responses to farm comments.

2) Building up the profiles myself with real women's pictures - pretty hard because I need US IPs and almost all, if not all, proxies/vpns nowadays SUCK. The unique device problem is also there. I'd take photos and videos from their stories, not the uploaded public photos so someone doesn't reverse search the images. Would be tedious to grow the accounts.

3) Paying real women money to do that for me - most would refuse even if they're poor because of the gambling stigma but at least - they already have developed, REAL profiles and can go sign up on hinge/tinder and all those and try to convert DMs into leads. I think this would be costly though and it'd be very hard to find girls who would wanna use their own profiles to advertise gambling offers, put enough effort to warm up the 'leads' in their DMs AND cost something that's worth paying - I doubt they'd accept affiliate deals, bet most would require fixed upfront fees.


What do you guys think?

From a risk and sustainability standpoint, all three options you listed carry major downsides. Anything involving fake or impersonated profiles (AI or reused images) creates serious issues around platform enforcement, consent, and long-term account survival. Even using real people as intermediaries introduces trust, compliance, and reputational risks especially in a highly regulated niche like gambling.

Given the restrictions in this category, approaches that rely on transparency and platform compliant acquisition tend to be more durable over time. Short term workarounds may convert initially, but they usually collapse once moderation, legal, or trust issues surface. In this space, risk management often matters more than raw acquisition speed.

Thank you so much for your AI-generated slop response Jonathan! Incredible value in there!

Option 3 is the only viable path for a professional operation, despite the cost and difficulty. Real profiles with genuine social proof are non-negotiable for trust in this vertical. AI or scraped photos will be detected and banned, especially on dating apps with photo verification. The upfront cost of reliable affiliates is simply the hard cost of doing business here.

I’m not against using AI models, but you should get someone experienced to help with proper prompting so the images look realistic.

In terms of doing AI Models, you can get someone to code you a Model, and from there, you can then upload videos on Reels and that will help get good exposure. Just make sure when you are uploading AI content, you label the upload as AI. In case you dont, you could get your profile file. That being said, just label the post as AI and that should help keep your account safer.

I mean if I was you, I'd go for option number 3 and hire people from third world countries like that are attractive, mostly south america.

Better to pay people, less headache comparing to first two options
