Having delivered zero downtime during last year’s main event, OpenBet is preparing itself for unprecedented levels of transactions across its entire product portfolio for the main event. During last year’s NFL Championship Game, regulated sports betting was available in 20 states and that has since expanded to 30, with New York among the latest to introduce legislation. With its robust technology, astute trading capabilities and unparalleled content from SportCast, the industry leading provider is once again set to power the world’s biggest sports betting brands with a seamless experience for their players.

Nikos Konstakis, Chief Product Officer at OpenBet, said: “As excitement builds for the Big Game, we’re proud to be at the heart of facilitating entertaining and responsible betting experiences for players. Our loyal customers can depend on us to deliver on the biggest occasion again, with our unrivalled experience and robustness.

Ahead of the Championship Game, SportCast has developed one of its most wide-ranging American football BetBuilder offerings to date, featuring over 1,400 different types of market selections for the Big Game. The product will be live with 40+ operators worldwide and available in 40 languages. Designed to provide ultimate player experiences, the wide range of offer reaffirms SportCast as the leader in delivering same-game parlays to the global sports betting industry.

As the pioneers of BetBuilder, SportCast’s unrivalled experience and provision in data collection has shaped this year’s offering to be the most advanced and compelling offering in the company’s history. Six different Quarterback markets have been created alone, with players able to bet on the Yards, Touchdowns, Passes, Interceptions, Attempts and Completions, illustrating the depth of SportCast’s offering.

In addition, numerous team prop markets unique to SportCast will be offered, including Team sacks, Fumbles lost and Next team to score a safety. These engaging bet types will be appealing to bettors throughout the whole game, regardless of the overall score line.

Ryan Coombs, VP Content and Managing Director at SportCast, said: “At a time when the burgeoning U.S. sports betting market shows no signs of slowing and the increasing popularity of American football beyond the States, this year’s Big Game promises to be one of the biggest ever in terms of wagers placed. As we have experienced over the previous 12 months, BetBuilder is in very strong demand and we’ve responded to develop a comprehensive offering for the Big Game. With exciting new markets to experience, we’re confident that our enhanced product will match the expectations of operators and bettors worldwide.”

ROGA Launches National College Education Campaign

Published

The Responsible Online Gaming Association (ROGA) has launched the “Know Your Play” campaign in partnership with EPIC Global Solutions, Kindbridge Behavioral Health, and the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC). This is a major initiative designed to provide college-aged students with detailed content focused on responsible gaming, mental health and well-being, and financial literacy.

“College students are learning to navigate newfound financial independence and equipping this age group with resources to make informed decisions that can build good financial habits will serve them throughout their lives, whether they engage in gaming or not. While previous programs have focused on student-athletes, our campaign intends to educate the broader student population about responsible gaming concepts that can help this age group set realistic expectations and see gaming as a form of entertainment, not as a way of making money,” ROGA Executive Director Dr. Jennifer Shatley said.

The campaign utilizes digital learning tools, resources, and videos available to all college-aged students at knowyourplay.org, even if they are not enrolled in a university. These resources will educate students on key responsible gaming concepts, including randomness, impulsiveness, and limit setting, while addressing myths like the illusion of control in sports betting. It will also focus on the role stress and mental health play in overall student wellbeing and provide practical tips for management. Additionally, extended resources will be piloted with select universities.

“EPIC has vast expertise and experience in creating programs that resonate with college-aged audiences and are delighted to partner with ROGA on a campaign that will provide critical education to college students across the country. By combining expert knowledge with personal stories, our program aims to foster a well-rounded understanding of financial literacy, decision-making, and risk-taking,” Teresa Fiore, SVP of Partnerships at EPIC Global Solutions, said.

The campaign will begin rolling out at college campuses over the next several weeks with in-person learning sessions and workshops in tandem with digital delivery tools for greater accessibility and reach, ensuring that the program effectively engages students across diverse campuses and demographics.

“College life presents unique pressures, from financial independence to academic performance, all of which can impact mental health. By fostering decision-making skills that bridge these areas, we’re helping students build resilience, manage stress, and develop healthy habits that will serve them well beyond their college years,” Kindbridge Group CEO Daniel Umfleet, said.

“College students face an increased risk of harm from gambling, making prevention education essential in protecting this important audience. RGC has a long history of creating prevention programs for young adults, and we are proud to partner with ROGA on this crucial initiative. This campaign will equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to make informed decisions should they choose to gamble. By providing valuable information, digital tools, and resources, we are empowering young adults to approach gambling with a lower-risk mindset and reduce potential harm,” RGC CEO Sarah McCarthy said.
