GeoComply releases NFL Week One Report showing increased demand for legal sports betting

GeoComply Solutions Inc. (“GeoComply”), a leading provider of cutting-edge anti-fraud and geolocation solutions, today released From the Sidelines to the Mainstream, a report analyzing betting data from its systems during the first week of the 2023 NFL season.
The report reveals 242.3 million geolocation transactions, a 56% increase compared to data from the first week of the 2022 NFL season, and a 40% increase in betting accounts across GeoComply’s US online sportsbook customers.
GeoComply Co-Founder and CEO Anna Sainsbury commented: “Consumer awareness around the security and fairness of legal online betting platforms has played a pivotal role in the responsible growth of the industry. While the increase in our transaction volume emphasizes the appetite for regulated online sports betting, our data also accentuates an urgent call to action. States without regulated online sports betting should get off the legalization sidelines and unlock their ability to protect consumers and generate significant tax revenue.”
Insights found in the From the Sidelines to the Mainstream report include:
- Find out which touchdown sparked the most traffic over the opening week
- Numbers of geolocation transactions, new and active accounts in MD, MA and OH across GeoComply’s online sportsbook customers in these states
- New sports wagering accounts registered across GeoComply’s U.S. online sportsbook customers throughout regulated states
- Analysis of devices used to bet, such as iOS, Android, or PC
- Numbers of geolocation transactions and would-be bettors coming from select states that have not legalized
- Examples of illegal operators marketing to consumers in states that have not legalized
Today, approximately 47% of the U.S. population has access to legal and regulated online sports betting, a figure that will be boosted to 51% when North Carolina, Maine, Vermont, and Kentucky launch regulated betting as expected in the coming months. However, that still leaves almost half of the country unprotected.
The report reveals significant consumer demand in six states where lawmakers are considering bills to legalize and regulate sports betting next year – Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, and South Carolina.
The high number of consumers attempting to access legal sites in other states illustrates the appetite for legal sports betting and underscores a compelling argument for the legalization and regulation of sports betting in these states. Since the 2018 expansion of legal sports betting, states have collected nearly $4 billion in aggregate tax revenue.
The data in the report was collected from September 3 through September 10, 2023 and is based on GeoComply’s aggregated geolocation transactions for its US sportsbook customers in regulated states. Geolocation checks are recorded at various stages of a user engaging with a legal sportsbook, including registering an account, logging in and placing a bet. GeoComply’s data does not purport to be definitive or represent the entire regulated US market but is intended to provide general insights into relevant market dynamics.

Esportes Gaming Brasil introduces LOTTU, its new digital betting platform focused on innovation and user experience

Esportes Gaming Brasil has just launched LOTTU, its new digital betting and entertainment platform. Modern, bold, and interactive, the brand was created with the purpose of delivering a faster, more personalized, and more efficient experience for bettors.
With this launch, the group now operates with the maximum limit of three brands authorized by the five-year federal license granted by the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting of the Ministry of Finance (SPA/MF), as established by Law 14.790/2023. In addition to LOTTU, the portfolio includes Esportes da Sorte and OnaBet.
“LOTTU reflects everything we’ve learned in recent years, but with a real leap in performance and usability. It is a platform built from the ground up, with a focus on speed, real-time promotions, and navigation tailored to different bettor profiles,” says Darwin Henrique da Silva Filho, CEO of Esportes Gaming Brasil Group.
With proprietary architecture and a high degree of customization, LOTTU offers features that allow greater flexibility for promotions, dynamic layouts, and a smoother user journey. The applied technology expands interaction and engagement possibilities, with an emphasis on responsiveness and operational intelligence.
“The arrival of LOTTU represents more than just a portfolio expansion. It materializes a brand that combines technology, aesthetics, and dynamism to deliver a truly differentiated experience. From concept to design, every detail was crafted to connect with the modern bettor, who values agility, trust, and innovation,” highlights Marcela Campos, Vice President of Esportes Gaming Brasil.
The system also incorporates monitoring tools that proactively identify signs of risky behavior—redirecting users to specialized support channels and reinforcing the group’s commitment to responsible gaming practices.
More than expanding its portfolio, the launch of LOTTU consolidates Esportes Gaming Brasil as one of the leading groups in the sector, with a strong institutional presence in Brazil’s sports and cultural scene—through initiatives such as sponsorships of clubs like Corinthians, Ceará, Ferroviária, and Náutico, and support for regional events such as Carnival, São João, and the Parintins Festival.

NYC Mayoral Front-runner Zohran Mamdani Says He Won’t Oppose Casino Development

As a state lawmaker, Zohran Mamdani generally opposed plans to open full-scale casinos in New York City. In June, when he walked past a billboard showing betting markets for the city mayor’s race, he even quipped that “gambling is haram,” an Arabic word meaning forbidden.
But on Wednesday, Mr. Mamdani said that he did not intend to use his newfound political clout as the Democratic mayoral nominee and the race’s front-runner to try to stop the arrival of casinos that are widely considered a fait accompli.
Speaking alongside the leader of a union pushing the gambling expansion, Mr. Mamdani told reporters that while he still had doubts about the casinos backed by corporate giants, he respected the views of state voters who had approved the downstate gambling expansion more than a decade ago.
