Checkd Dev launches new sports betting tool Smart Picks for North American market

 

FlashPicks site live with aid to filter picks and parlays based on historical data

Fast-growing iGaming business Checkd Group has launched a new Smart Picks tool with its popular FlashPicks brand across North America.

Based around Smart Acca technology, which has proven to be popular with UK-based bettors through Checkd Group’s award-winning Betting Hub app, Smart Picks utilises historical statistics and betting data to indicate which teams have been performing well, allowing users to make more informed betting decisions.

Smart Picks currently allows users to create selections across moneyline, spread and total markets in both the NFL and NBA. Users can filter by all matches in the current season, the last five fixtures, home and away games or head-to-head. More sports and additional features are set to be added in the coming months.

Smart Picks has been specifically developed and tailored to a North American audience, given the regional differences in betting habits and preferences.

Sports bettors in Ontario and 24 US states where online betting is currently regulated are able to utilise operator links on Checkd Group’s fast-growing sports betting community site FlashPicks, with Smart Picks linking users to a host of leading online sportsbooks including DraftKings, FanDuel Sportsbook, BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, bet365 and PointsBet.

Launched in February 2022, FlashPicks has quickly gained traction on social channels, with over 500,000 unique visitors and 1.4 million website sessions. It is also growing its video and audio content presence, with new headline show ‘For Bettor or Worse’ already achieving over 400,000 total views and 20,000 listens across all platforms.

Adam Patton, Checkd Dev MD, said: “North America is a key strategic region for Checkd Dev and in developing the Smart Picks solution, we are taking what we have learned from our successes in the UK market and adapting it in line with regional betting preferences. This is only the start of a process and we will be adding more sports to the current selection in the coming months.

“The launch of Smart Picks is the latest milestone as we continue to make rapid progress with our FlashPicks brand, which is already resonating with sports bettors only a year after launch. These are exciting times for our business on both sides of the Atlantic.”

Commercial Gaming Revenue Growth Continues in Q3 2024, Driving Industry’s 15th Consecutive Quarter of Growth

 

U.S. commercial gaming revenue reached $17.71 billion in Q3 2024, the industry’s highest-grossing Q3 on record, according to the American Gaming Association’s (AGA) Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker. This makes Q3 2024 the industry’s 15th consecutive quarter of annual revenue growth, with September marking the 43rd straight month of rising year-over-year commercial gaming revenue.

Through the first nine months of the year, nationwide commercial gaming revenue stands at $53.24 billion, pacing 8.0 percent ahead of 2023 and putting the industry on track for a fourth straight record revenue year.

In Q3 2024, 29 of the 35 commercial gaming jurisdictions operational last year saw increased year-over-year revenue. This growth resulted in an 8.9 percent year-over-year increase in state and local taxes tied directly to gaming revenue, with commercial gaming operators contributing $3.79 billion in taxes across the quarter.

Quarterly revenue from land-based gaming – encompassing casino slots, table games and retail sports betting – totaled $12.56 billion, 0.62 percent lower than Q3 2023. Meanwhile, combined revenue from online sports betting and iGaming totaled $5.14 billion in Q3 2024 as online gaming made up 29.0 percent of commercial gaming revenue, a significantly higher share than in Q3 2023.

Looking at each sector in Q3 2024:

  • Traditional Gaming: Traditional brick-and-mortar casino gaming generated quarterly revenue of $12.38 billion, a contraction of 0.9 percent year-over-year.
  • Legal Sports Betting: Americans legally wagered $30.3 billion on sports, generating $3.24 billion in quarterly revenue (+42.4% YoY). Recent market launches in Kentucky, Maine, North Carolina and Vermont contributed to this growth.
  • iGaming: iGaming generated $2.08 billion in revenue, marking a 30.3 percent year-over-year increase.

“Q3 2024 continued gaming’s momentum from the first half of the year, with online casino and sports betting driving strong growth. At the same time, new brick-and-mortar casino openings bolstered traditional gaming, which still accounts for the bulk of industry revenue,” said AGA Vice President of Research David Forman. “More than a quarter of commercial revenue now regularly comes from online sources, raising the importance of continued sustainable growth with consumers in those states.”
