on

 

  • Checkd International’s SmartPicks app has surpassed one million bets in just five months
  • There have been over six million screen views by users
  • More than 8,000 subscriptions have been purchased on SmartPicks Pro

Checkd International, the North American sports betting specialist and part of the award-winning Checkd Group, has announced a successful first NFL season for its SmartPicks betting app with many huge milestones hit by users.

At the culmination of Super Bowl LIX in Louisiana, over one million bets had been added to bet slips through SmartPicks, as the informative and streamlined app proved it was a roaring success.

The new and improved SmartPicks app was launched in October, midway through the NFL season, and builds on existing technology used in the UK by the Manchester-based company, to provide a unique sports betting-focused app to the US.

There have been over six million page views on SmartPicks since the launch, equating to more than one million each month.

The apps prop tool, which sits front and centre, has been hugely popular with users, and over one million markets have been selected using this.

In the past five months, there have been more than 29,000 installs for the app as more users across America look to use this as their preferred choice when gambling.

SmartPicks Pro, which gives users even more access and is Checkd Group’s first-ever subscription model product, saw more than 8,000 users join throughout the NFL season, proving how vital this model will be for the business going forward.

SmartPicks was built in-house by Checkd Dev, the technology specialist division of Checkd Group, which has supported top-tier operators with new products in the past year, including Paddy Power’s Mix ’N Match bet building tool.

The success of SmartPicks continues to expand Checkd Group’s position in the US-based betting market through Checkd International’s on-the-ground presence, and 2024 saw a 187% increase in app searches for the business.

Commenting on the success, Callum Broxton, Head of US Operations at Checkd Group said: “We’re delighted to announce that our SmartPicks app has been greatly received in the American sports betting market, with millions of bets placed and thousands of new users choosing the market-leading technology provided this NFL season.

Jogo da Zebra: The Most Thrilling Version of the Classic Minesweeper Arrives from Vibra Gaming

 

Vibra Gaming, the leading game and platform developer in the LatAm market, unveils its latest and most exciting release: Jogo da Zebra, a high-adrenaline experience where every click can multiply your winnings. Designed especially for the Brazilian audience, this game reimagines the classic Minesweeper with visuals and gameplay that resonate with local culture.

The game unfolds on a 5×5 grid with 25 hidden tiles. Players can choose how much to bet and how many zebras will appear on the board, directly influencing the level of risk and potential rewards.

To win, players click on the tiles to reveal golden squares, increasing their bet multiplier. At any moment, they can cash out and secure their winnings before encountering a zebra.

The game also incorporates innovative mechanics to enhance the excitement. By selecting the number of hidden zebras on the board (from 1 to 20), players can adjust the difficulty and raise the prize multiplier as they progress. Additionally, if a zebra is revealed followed by a heart, the game grants an extra life, allowing the player to continue without ending the round. This unique feature adds a new layer of thrill and strategy, as only one extra life can be earned per game.

Jogo da Zebra also includes a Turbo Button, which speeds up tile reveals for a more dynamic gaming experience. A Cash Out button allows players to stop and collect their winnings before risking another click.

Ramiro Atucha, CEO of Vibra Gaming, commented: Jogo da Zebra combines the nostalgia of a classic with captivating gameplay and big rewards. It’s the perfect game for thrill-seekers who enjoy risk, where every click can make a difference in winning big. We developed it with the Brazilian audience in mind, incorporating a local theme that connects with their culture and gaming preferences.”
