nVenue, an AI-powered micro-betting technology, and Amelco, a sports betting platform provider, have announced their commercial deal to introduce micro-betting options for NASCAR fans worldwide. This industry-first partnership marks the first integration of NASCAR live in-race micro-bets into the betting landscape.

In August 2023, NASCAR selected nVenue as an official micro-betting provider, and together they announced the first round of NASCAR markets at the 2024 Daytona 500. With help from their AI-powered platform, nVenue’s micro-betting engine can generate over 60,000 betting opportunities with just several of their introductory markets. In-race micro-markets include unique betting windows for stage results, qualifying, and more.

“We are thrilled to team up with Amelco to introduce micro-betting options forNASCAR. With their platform and reach, we are confident that we will deliver an unmatched betting experience for racing fans. We look forward to working closely with Amelco to integrate our markets and expand our offerings to include other newsports on our dynamic roadmap,” Jeremy Jones, Chief Revenue Officer at nVenue, said.

The integration of nVenue’s micro-betting markets into Amelco’s platform is expected to begin in the coming months. This alliance comes at a significant growth point for NASCAR in 2024. In a recent announcement, the sport revealed that the betting handle has increased by an impressive 50% in just the first two months of the year.

Head of Amelco USA Brandon Walker said: “We’re looking forward to working with the nVenue team and offering their NASCAR product to our operators. With micro-markets proving to be a huge success in the space already we’re excited tosee how these markets perform.”
