BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting company, today reported a 27% year-over-year increase in WNBA active betting companies. The teams that attracted the highest handles to win the WNBA championship are the Las Vegas Aces (39.6%) and the New York Liberty (23.2%).
“The New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces are our dream showdown for the final and could cause some serious action. The worst result is that anyone but the two obvious favourites, Liberty and Aces, wins everything. As the playoffs progress, the steering wheel is steadily recovering. The expansion of legalized sports betting and the WNBA’s most-watched regular season in more than two decades are certainly key factors driving the increase.” Seamus Maggie – Sports Trader, BetMGM 토토사이트 순위
The rise in WNBA betting continues the trend of women’s sports betting in BetMGM. BetMGM is up more than 40% year-over-year in women’s tennis and golf betting. In comparison, in men’s leagues such as MLB and NHL, bets increased by 18% and 25%, respectively.
The 2023 Women’s FIFA World Cup attracted a number of handles to win the World Cup by the U.S. Women’s National Team, which has the most bets of all time in BetMGM.
The 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament has gained strong betting attention and BetMGM reports a 30% increase in handles over last year’s tournament. Also, active bettors jumped 22%. For the first time, betting action on the women’s NCAA tournament hit the NFL game. BetMGM currently operates in 26 markets with mobile and retail services.
Responsible gambling education remains a key focus as BetMGM continues to expand into new markets.
