Destination sportsbook at State Farm Stadium and record-breaking wagers set the stage for biggest tournament in company history.

BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, is set to make history this March forecasting a record-setting handle and featuring a destination sportsbook at State Farm Stadium. To celebrate the greatest tournament of the year, BetMGM is giving customers a stake in an underdog with a free-to-play $100,000 Sleeper Sixteen Contest available through the mobile app.

“March is here and we’re preparing for the landmark tournament,” said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt. “BetMGM will be front-and-center of the action elevating the experience for our fans with unique contests and world-class destinations across the country to catch the games.”

  • Making History: This year’s tournament will have its place in the record books. 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. IThe boost pack will include an odds boost token, a parlay boost token, and a “live” token that can be used on any in-play wager. Promotion not available in Nevada or Puerto Rico.
  • 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.”
    • Most Popular Underdogs to Win Opening Round:
      • Samford +260
      • NC State +180
      • McNeese State +230
      • Duquesne +400

As BetMGM continues to expand into new markets, responsible gaming remains a key focus. Additionally, BetMGM is proud to provide resources to help customers play responsibly including GameSense, an industry leading program, developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Through the integration within BetMGM’s mobile and desktop platforms, customers can receive the same GameSense experience they have grown to count on at MGM Resorts properties nationwide. This complements BetMGM’s already existing responsible gambling tools which serve to provide customers with an entertaining and safe digital experience.

The BetMGM app is available for download on both iOS and Android and is accessible via desktop at betmgm.com.

softswiss-game-aggregator:-largest-content-hub-certified-in-brazil

The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, the largest content hub in the iGaming industry, has secured Brazilian certification, becoming one of the first in the market to achieve this milestone.

Regulatory rules for iGaming come into effect in Brazil on 1 January 2025. According to them, platforms, aggregators, sportsbooks, and providers must undergo certification. Companies aiming to provide their services in Brazil in 2025 and beyond have been preparing for this transition throughout the year.

The SOFTSWISS team announces that its Game Aggregator is the first to fully comply with regulations, completing all necessary preparations and receiving the certificate to ensure smooth and efficient operations for its clients.

SOFTSWISS has also obtained certification for integration with the world’s largest game providers – Pragmatic Play, Evolution, and Playtech. These providers offer a diverse range of games tailored to suit the preferences of Brazilian players, from immersive live dealer experiences to engaging slots and table games, ensuring entertainment for every type of player.

According to recent Kantar research conducted in November 2024, the overall satisfaction index for the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is 8.1 out of 10. Remarkably, half of the respondents rated the product a 10 or 9. Customer support service satisfaction scored even higher, at 8.4 out of 10

The Game Aggregator also boasts a key advantage: consistent 99.999% uptime, which is crucial for the iGaming business.

Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, notes: “According to our information, the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is the first aggregator fully prepared, both technically and legally, to work in Brazil when the new regulations take effect. This is a significant achievement that the team has worked on diligently and systematically. Our work doesn’t stop here – we are actively adding new providers to help our clients expand their presence in this promising Brazilian market, which is no longer ‘the sleeping giant’. It has awakened, and SOFTSWISS is at the forefront of this exciting transformation.”

To support this high level of performance, earlier this year SOFTSWISS appointed Rubens Barrichello, the Brazilian Formula 1 legend, as a Non-Executive Director, demonstrating its strong commitment to the local market. To ensure efficient operations and promptly address ongoing matters, SOFTSWISS also has a dedicated team of local business development managers in Brazil.

SOFTSWISS team will be available to discuss partnership in Brazil and other markets at the first major  iGaming event of 2025 – ICE Barcelona, taking place on 20–22 January, at stand 2G42.
