NYX Gaming Group’s OpenBet Sportsbook delivers record volumes on Mayweather vs. McGregor bout

NYX Gaming Group, the market-leading end-to-end supplier and technology provider to sports betting and gaming operators across the globe, handled record numbers of boxing bets and stakes via its OpenBet platform leading up to and during the fight between UFC champion Conor McGregor and the undefeated Floyd Mayweather on Saturday August 26th in Las Vegas.

The record saw Mayweather vs. McGregor yield an increase of 530% in total stakes and 375% in total number of bets over the previous record betting fight between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in 2015.

Eighty five percent of bets placed were in favour of Irish underdog McGregor. While the total stakes were £1 million higher for Mayweather. The average bet piled on by McGregor supporters was £20 while the smart money was placed on Mayweather with an average bet six times higher at £120.

Keith O’Loughlin, Executive Vice President OpenBet commented, “OpenBet proved again that the platform we offer to operators can scale to cover very significant spikes of business.

OpenBet, our customers, punters, Mayweather and McGregor all came out winners on one of the biggest fights in history – that’s pretty unique!

​The bout was one of the most highly-viewed fights ever with PPV and TV revenue expected to have broken the $400m barrier.

With these developments, eCOGRA strengthens its position in the U.S. and Latin American markets, offering excellence in compliance through their Quality, Speed, and Service promise.

This strategic expansion allows eCOGRA to conduct independent compliance audits and certification services in each region, addressing the growing demand for rigorous regulatory oversight in the fast-evolving global iGaming industry.

Securing approval in Arizona, where eCOGRA has now been licensed as an Event Wagering Ancillary Supplier, enables the International Testing Laboratory (ITL) to audit event wagering licensees in line with Arizona’s expanding regulatory landscape. Indiana, which introduced online sports betting in September 2019, has authorised eCOGRA to perform regulatory compliance audits, providing licensed operators with crucial assurance in meeting the state’s high standards.

In Panama, the Board of Gaming Control officially recognised eCOGRA as an Authorised Entity for Compliance Certification, specifically for slot machines and gaming software. This endorsement reinforces eCOGRA’s role as a trusted partner for operators seeking to meet stringent regulatory requirements in Latin America’s emerging iGaming sector.
