Arizona is home to the BetMGM Sportsbook at State Farm Stadium is a 17,000-square-foot entertainment destination with state-of-the-art sportsbook amenities including giant video walls, dozens of wagering kiosks and a world-class bar and grill. Additionally, BetMGM projects 2024 to be the most bet on tournament in company history having recently expanded to North Carolina marking its 29th market in North America.
- BetMGM’s $100,000 Sleeper Sixteen Contest: Now that the bracket is set, all BetMGM players can play a free Sleeper Sixteen game on the mobile app. Players will spin a wheel to be assigned a team in the tournament that is a 10 through a 16 seed. If their team is one of the final 16 teams left in the tournament, the player will split $100,000 in bonus bets, divvied up among other users with that team. Contest not available in New York, Nevada or Puerto Rico.
- March Matchups 64% Boost Pack: Starting Wednesday, March 20, all BetMGM customers will receive a Boost Pack, containing three unique tokens to boost their favorite bets in the Round of 64.

- Inside the Lines: The following intel from the BetMGM trading team highlights the most notable early action across the country.
- Fan Favorite to Win: Kentucky, North Carolina and UConn are the most bet teams in the tournament to win it all. Michael Ranftle, Senior Trader at BetMGM, said, “Kentucky is our biggest liability to win the NCAA Tournament. However, with the recent launch of legal sports betting in North Carolina, the Tar Heels are becoming a big loser for the sportsbook with their hometown fans believing in them. Both blue bloods getting knocked out of the bracket early would be great for BetMGM.”

Peter & Sons to Enter Brazilian Market

Maverick game studio to make Brazil debut via PlayUZU.br and BacanaPlay.br
Award-winning game studio Peter & Sons is about to make waves in the freshly regulated Brazilian market. The innovative iGaming content creator’s unique portfolio went live in Brazil from 1st January 2025 via PlayUZU.br and BacanaPlay.br.
Global entertainment giant SkillOnNet recently announced it had been awarded a license to operate in the Brazilian market, which is quickly expected to become one of the biggest in the world.
Barcelona-based Peter & Sons has already made significant inroads into Latin America, having recently debuted in Mexico, Peru, and Buenos Aires City in Argentina.
But Brazil will allow the studio to showcase its groundbreaking content to a truly massive new audience. Peter & Sons games are known for their rich storytelling, humour and unique artistic vision. Packed with fascinating themes, surprising mechanics, and glorious weirdness, they are designed to embody the ‘anti-boring’, according to the company.
Brazilian players will soon be able to sink their teeth into hit games like Barbarossa, Xibalba, Wild 1 and Voodoo Hex, as well as brand new titles like Barbarossa Revenge, Muddy Waters, and Greedy Alice.
All content will be specially localized to the new market through two Portuguese-language, Brazil-focused platforms.
Yann Bautista, Commercial Director and Founder at Peter & Sons said: “While 2024 was a huge year for our global expansion, 2025 could prove to be the biggest yet, as we become an early entrant into this huge new market. Since our 2019 foundation, we have poured all our energy, hard work and inspiration into our games, and it’s truly exciting that our content reaches the massive audience that it does today.”
Pedro Garcia, Country Manager at BacanaPlay said: “We’re super-bullish about the Brazilian market, which has been projected by analysts to be worth almost $6.3bn by 2028. And we project that the addition of Peter & Sons’ cutting-edge portfolio will go down a storm with Brazilian players at PlayUZU.br and BacanaPlay.br.”
