Same-game parlays account for 27% of all bets with the supplier’s flawless performance during the big game

OpenBet’s customers processed more than 13.6 million bets during last weekend’s Super Bowl LVII, with more than $295 million staked during the big game that saw Kansas City Chiefs triumph over Philadelphia Eagles. The company’s pioneering BetBuilder product handled 3.7 million bets, totalling $66.7 million in stakes.

The world leader in sports betting entertainment which services the globe’s biggest sportsbooks reported 145% growth in total bets and wagers compared to last year’s game, with a peak of 65,000 bets placed per minute. Same-game parlays powered by BetBuilder accounted for 27% of all bets placed, illustrating the continued appeal for this popular betting format from players across the US.

Other key observations from the big game include:

  • Average stake of same-game parlays was $20
  • In-play wagering accounted for 12% of all bets placed, 8% up on 2022 levels
  • BetBuilder requests peaked at 70,000 per minute
  • As expected, 95% of bets placed were with U.S. audiences

This record-breaking performance was driven by OpenBet’s robust platform capabilities, strong content offering including 800+ markets, as well as the increase in legalized markets in operation enabling players to place bets in a safe environment.

Crucially, OpenBet’s platform technology rose to the biggest sporting occasion by enduring zero downtime, ensuring the world’s leading operators were able to deliver a flawless sports betting entertainment experience. Throughout the regular NFL season, OpenBet worked closely with its partners to deliver platform enhancements, while preparations for the big game took place months in advance to ensure the best offering possible.

Jordan Levin, CEO at OpenBet, said: “Super Bowl LVII was a thoroughly entertaining spectacle and major sporting events like this are moments that matter for our partners. Their investment behind player acquisition and retention relies heavily on searing technology and world class planning.

“The event showcased the importance of a superior content offer backed by robust and scalable platform technology. At OpenBet, we are experts in this field. This was illustrated by the fact we offered 800+ markets based on a variety of special outcomes, along with our BetBuilder solution which facilitated world class same-game parlay experiences.

Published

The Plaza Hotel & Casino will celebrate the start of every weekend this summer with a live fireworks show Friday nights at 9:15 p.m., beginning May 24 for Memorial Day weekend through Aug. 30 for Labor Day weekend.
Inspired by the fireworks shows at Disneyland, the Plaza’s Welcome to the Weekend Summer Friday Fireworks will light up the sky above downtown Las Vegas and be part of a festive summer block party atmosphere at the property’s Carousel Bar and rooftop pool deck.
“The Plaza is known for its great fireworks on New Year’s Eve and July 4th, but who says fireworks are only for those holidays?” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “This summer, we wanted to celebrate and give a gift to everyone downtown by sharing the excitement and fun of our fireworks shows with them every Friday night.”
“Las Vegas is the world’s destination because of all the spectacular attractions that are available here,” City of Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman said. “The Plaza is adding a new weekly fireworks extravaganza this summer, and everyone is invited to visit downtown Las Vegas and enjoy the show!”
Derek Stevens, CEO and Owner of Circa Resort & Casino said “The weekly fireworks show will amp up Fremont Street’s high-energy atmosphere to a new level. It’s a terrific addition for the entire neighborhood, providing another exciting reason for visitors to come downtown. Huge thanks to Jonathan and the Plaza team for bringing this idea to life. We’ll definitely be enjoying the show every week from Circa’s rooftop lounge, Legacy Club.”
The fireworks shot from the Plaza’s towers will be visible to the thousands of tourists and locals in downtown Las Vegas as well as for miles beyond. Plaza hotel guests will be able to enjoy the fireworks from an exclusive viewing party on its rooftop pool deck where the fireworks will be “ignited” by a special guest pushing a detonator button on an oversized TNT box.
To attract even more people to stay downtown, the Plaza introduced the only all-inclusive hotel room package starting at $125 per person per night. The package includes bottomless drinks, breakfast and dinner, a free bingo session, waived resort fees, and more. Rooms must be booked online by June 30 for a stay June 1 through July 1.
The Friday night rooftop pool party for hotel guests will feature the Frozen Firecracker, a special red, white, and blue cocktail made with strawberry daiquiri, pina colada, and blue lemonade spiked with Don Q Rum. At Carousel Bar the summer party vibe continues every Friday night with a DJ and the specialty cocktail Watermelon Agua Fresca made with Mi Campo tequila, Jägermeister, rose aperitivo, watermelon juice, chamoy, and aloe leaves as a garnish.
“Downtown Las Vegas is already a vibrant, unique, and exciting destination. Our Summer Friday Fireworks paired with our all-inclusive room package and great summertime block party atmosphere at Carousel Bar and the rooftop pool deck will be even more reasons to come downtown this summer,” added Jossel.
The Plaza’s fireworks will be dependent on weather conditions and are subject to change or cancellation.
