FREEBALL LAUNCHES AS LARGEST ONLINE SWEEPSTAKES IN U.S. HISTORY

 

Powered by Lotto.com, people across all 50 U.S. states will have the chance to enter Freeball every week, with the potential to win $10 million
Launching as its own entity, in partnership with Lotto.com, Freeball LLC is a nationwide free-to-enter sweepstakes platform that is fast, easy, and contactless to use, offering players the chance to win an enticing $10 million jackpot every time they enter.
Over and above the grand prize of $10 million, which is guaranteed by industry leader SCA Promotions who have covered over $10 billion in risk and awarded over $200 million in prizes, Freeball entrants are also eligible to win many other monetary prizes. The prizes range from $1 to $1,000, which are distributed weekly, with live draws announced every Sunday at 9pm EST via Freeball’s website. Results are generated by SCA’s certified random number generator (RNG) and the first live draw will take place on Sunday, December 19, 2021.
“We can’t believe the time has come to launch this one of a kind platform, and with the holidays right around the corner, the prospect of winning $10 million really couldn’t come at a better time”, said Francesca Morra, Marketing Manager at Freeball LLC. “We encourage everyone to enter as there is truly nothing to lose and everything to win!”
Anyone aged 18 and over can play Freeball by signing up for their free ticket at www.freeball.com. Participants must provide their full name, email and home address, phone number, and birth date in order to verify their age. All eligible players can then sign up via the website, with no app or deposit required, and participate in the jackpot game every week by choosing their lucky numbers and keeping their fingers crossed! The good news is there can be multiple winners every week – it simply depends on players’ luck and how many numbers they match.
Freeball is powered by Lotto.com, who launched earlier this year as the first digital platform for buying lottery tickets on any device, with no app download or deposit required. The business operates a state-of-the-art e-commerce platform based on four key pillars, including convenience, security, safety, and peace of mind, all of which enables players to buy official state lottery tickets from the comfort of their own home or on the go.
“The team at Lotto.com are beyond excited to be partnering with the largest free to play sweepstakes in U.S. history and supporting this new platform from a marketing standpoint”, said Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com Inc. “We have been focused on accessibility since our inception so we couldn’t be more proud to promote this nationwide launch with no costs or hidden caveats involved to enter. It doesn’t get much bigger than this in our world and we wish everyone the best of luck!”
Currently, anyone 18 and over physically located in the state of New Jersey can purchase state lottery tickets via Lotto.com, as well as access information about previous and future draws. Lotto.com will soon be announcing plans to expand nationally, with the aim of making the lottery more accessible to as many people as possible across the United States.

BETTING HERO REVS UP COLLABORATION WITH NASCAR TO ENHANCE BETTING EXPERIENCE FOR RACING FANS

Published

Betting Hero Research Uncovers Potential For Regional Betting Growth in the Sport.

Betting Hero, the leading customer acquisition, retention, and development partner for U.S. sportsbooks, has embarked on a consumer research collaboration with NASCAR to help the respective companies and their shared sportsbook operator clients better understand and serve North Carolina NASCAR fans with premium betting experiences.

Laying the foundation for continued fan engagement and future acquisition campaigns, Betting Hero has completed a research study, comprised of qualified bettors in the Tar Heel State to uncover their engagement preferences for NASCAR as both sports fans and bettors.

The study, which took place both online and in person in April 2024, shows a significant demand for NASCAR as a betting product in North Carolina. Respondents are almost three times more likely to bet on the sport than in previously surveyed states.

NASCAR ranked behind only the NFL, NBA, and MLB in betting activity by the study respondents, with 70% stating that they’ve watched a race for the first time because they’ve placed a bet on it.

“Having worked closely with NASCAR to educate its fans on the betting options available to them for several years, we have long believed in the opportunity to both attract new fans to the sport and better engage existing fans through thoughtfully curated betting experiences,” said Jai Maw, Co-Founder and President of Batting Hero. 

Maw continued, ”As is shown in the North Carolina study conducted by our in-house consumer research division, there is a clear correlation between most fans’ enjoyment or engagement in a sporting event and their betting activity overall. However, NASCAR fans have to work a little harder than fans of other major sports to find their betting preferences due to less available markets and prop betting options on average. Those that can find their preferred betting markets could also be more likely to remain loyal to their sportsbook of choice than fans of other sports where available markets are somewhat commoditized.”

As a market audience, 86% of North Carolinians see betting as a true complement to sporting enjoyment. They’re also loyal and active bettors, with over half of respondents having downloaded three gambling apps and almost 90% still using their primary sportsbook after registration.

Significantly, certain sportsbooks surveyed showed a disproportionately high level of NASCAR betting activity compared to brand awareness in the target group, which could suggest that having a strong NASCAR betting offering is more important than other factors in the registration decision process.

“NASCAR has extremely passionate fans and we see sports betting as another way they can engage with sport,” said Joe Solosky, Managing Director of Sports Betting at NASCAR. “We are excited, but not surprised, to see the success of NASCAR as an offering through the launch of sports betting in the industry’s backyard of North Carolina and are continuing to better improve the NASCAR betting product to give fans more options to responsibly engage with action on the track. The study discovered that 70 percent of respondents watched a race for the first time because they placed a bet on it, and it shows that our efforts in the space can attract new fans as well.”

North Carolina has quickly risen to the top tier of states for NASCAR betting volume, ranking among the top three states in its first two months since launch. Across the 20 states that were live in March and April of 2023, NASCAR’s handle has seen a substantial 15% year-over-year growth. In states like Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Mississippi, NASCAR’s handle has surged by at least 50% compared to the previous year. Even more impressively, in Nevada and New York, NASCAR’s handle has doubled year over year, indicating a significant increase in interest and betting activity in these regions.

Resident Culture Bar & Kitchen will be hosting a NASCAR post-party on Saturday, May 25th, for the Xfinity race the weekend of the Coke 600 and a Race Watch party for the Cup Series Coke 600 on Sunday, May 26th. Betting Hero‘s team of experts will be in attendance to help answer any sports betting-related questions for fans and patrons while ensuring all enjoy their experience betting on NASCAR responsibly.
