US sports betting market laid bare in comprehensive white paper
Leading US sports betting comparison site Bonus Seeker, a Catena Media brand, has published an exhaustive white paper on the fledgling yet burgeoning US industry, projecting a significant surge in revenue in the coming years for states that implement sports betting wisely.
Providing deep insight on one of the world’s largest and most potential-rich sports betting markets, BonusSeeker’s in-depth analysis has laid bare the current situation on a state-by-state basis and also examines which states are leading the way, thanks to an open approach to competition and utilization of mobile technology.
The paper’s statistics show that an increasing number of states seem to be catching onto the fact that mobile betting is the route to the most revenue possible. More specifically, mobile betting with multiple operators.
Its numbers show that states with online wagering take in more bets than states that don’t. New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, Iowa, and West Virginia recorded the highest sports betting handles in 2020 – with all of them adopting mobile betting and a wide range of different sportsbooks for US bettors.
In each of these states, with the exception of Nevada, the report shows that mobile betting accounts for at least 80 per cent of all wagers taken. But even in Nevada’s case, more than half of the wagers are placed via online sportsbooks rather than at the land-based betting window.
With a population of over 19m, many eyes are now on New York and with it, the potential to become the biggest market in the country. The paper focuses on the anticipation there and an exclusive interview with New York Senator Joseph Addabbo reveals his support for sports betting’s top model.
“It’s a win-win. That is why [New] Jersey prefers that model and Pennsylvania prefers that model and the vast majority of other states that do mobile sports betting prefer that model,” Addabbo explained. “Because it’s a proven product. It’s a proven winner for the state and for its people.”
Brian Sausa, Lead Sports Writer at Catena Media US, said: “Legal sports betting is clearly becoming big business in the US, but not every state does it the same way. This examination of the betting picture is extremely insightful.
“Revealing that mobile betting is set to outstrip land-based by roughly three times is a real eye-opener and the detailed look at each state’s intentions makes the report a must-read for anyone involved in the industry.”

User-Centric Redesign for Casinosfiables.ca

Casinosfiables announced that they have redesigned their existing site – https://casinosfiables.ca/ to better address current user demands.
Although the site’s functionality aligns with modern industry standards, the redesign is a step in the right direction and could very well give a competitive edge.
The changes addressed certain functionality concerns and aligned with ever-changing user preferences and behavior.
• Seamless page transition – The overall performance of the site improved, so pages loaded faster, despite the addition of new elements.
• Integrated social media buttons – Buttons that lead to social media pages became more visible, so it is easier for readers to complete engagement incentives that granted them affiliate-exclusive rewards or promo codes.
• More valuable insights – Previously, charts and ratings were only explained in separate reviews. The new roundup charts and ratings had a dropdown feature that provided more insights or clarity behind the rating.
• Relevant search filters – Some trends or categories that targeted user intent weren’t visible in the previous version. The updated version introduced new categories that better reflected player preferences, or included roundups based on casino features (e.g., cashback, no wager promos, game providers) that weren’t at the forefront previously.
• Author pages – Readers who had similar opinions and game preferences to the site’s authors gained the ability to find other texts from those authors. Each casino expert received a dedicated page listing all of their publications.
The changes were finalized over the past few months. The team pushed these updates in batches rather than a single big update.

Vancouver Resident Purchased Winning $40 Million Lotto Max Ticket While Quenching Sparkling Water Craving

Phuc Duc (Daniel) Chau loves the Bubly brand of sparkling water and stopped in a convenience store to purchase a can. Chau likes to buy lottery tickets based on a gut feeling, and due to the employee’s bubbly nature while he purchased his Bubly, Chau also purchased a Lotto Max ticket for the May 23, 2025 draw.
It was this ticket that ended up scoring Chau a whopping $40-million jackpot.
“I was at work when I found out,” recalled Chau of the moment he realized he won. “I was going through my bag to find a cough drop, but I saw that I had two lottery tickets in my bag and decided to scan the tickets, but I needed to update the [BCLC Lotto!] app first. The first ticket I didn’t win anything, but the second said $40 million. I have never seen that many zeroes in my life, ever. I dropped my phone and then called BCLC right away!”
At the time of the prize claim, the Vancouver resident hadn’t yet shared the news of his win.
“My partner doesn’t know yet! I want to share the news with them in a special way.”
Chau shared that his dream has always been to travel the world. “There are so many places I want to go to, so I haven’t fully decided!”
When asked if he will quit his job, he said, “I haven’t decided, but I want to continue to support my community in a different way.”
On how it feels to be a multimillionaire?
“It means a lot to me. It opens up an opportunity for me to give back to my family, community and the world all around me. It’s not meaningful unless you can share this with those who need it.”
Chau purchased the winning ticket at the 7-Eleven on Imperial Street and Boundary Road in Burnaby.
So far in 2025, B.C. lottery players have redeemed more than $146 million from Lotto Max. Lotto Max is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays after 7:30 p.m. (PST).
Players can purchase tickets at lottery retailers or at PlayNow.com. Winning numbers and group release forms can be found online at www.bclc.com. Players can check their lottery tickets anytime, anywhere on iOS and Android devices.
BCLC offers socially responsible gambling entertainment while generating income to benefit all British Columbians. Players can visit PlayNow.com to learn how to set time and money limits.
