JUST REVEALED FOR 1st TIME: Twitter Sports Betting Data

Sports betting has been a hot topic on Twitter for quite some time, and it makes sense why 7 out of 10 sports bettors are on Twitter for their betting needs, predictions, drama and memes. The volume of bettor-focused content and the quality of Tweets have drastically increased over the past few years as many states legalized the betting and it was no longer seen as taboo.
Data shows, that Twitter is the preferred resource for sports bettors when it comes to information sources used to place a sports bet, alongside broadcast websites (e.g. ESPN.com, FoxSports.com, etc.).
-
Sports bettors rank Twitter as the #1 place for staying up to speed on sports influencers’ opinions/predictions, injury reports/updates, team stats/records, lineups, Vegas odds, and other sports-related news.
-
72% of sports bettors check Twitter to follow the status of their live bets once they’ve been made.
On top of being the go-to, the Twitter timeline attracts a premium sports betting audience and has a direct influence on their betting decisions.
-
Sports bettors on Twitter spend 15% more on bets annually, compared to sports bettors on other platforms. And 62% of bettors on Twitter place wagers weekly, which is more frequent than sports bettors on other platforms.
-
7/10 sports bettors surveyed are on Twitter, and 33% of bettors on Twitter say they wouldn’t make as many wagers if it wasn’t for Twitter.
-
Sports bettors rely on Twitter because of the unique combination of content and conversation they find on the timeline. 36% of sports bettors use Twitter as their go-to source for anything sports betting-related.
-
The Twitter timeline often gives bettors FOMO. 65% of bettors on Twitter are most motivated to place a bet on a big event that everyone is talking about.
-
While Twitter has the veteran sports bettors, it also attracts those new to the game. 51% of bettors on Twitter started betting less than two years ago.
On the other side of the bettors themselves are the sportsbooks, and as they start to act more and more like media outlets themselves, they’re all prioritizing Twitter as a core component of their growth strategy. Sportsbook handles are pumping out content nonstop – from memes (check out witty handles like @DraftKings and @BetMGM for examples) to parlay promotions to breaking sports news – and many are developing Twitter-centric activations to directly engage fans.

ROGA Launches National College Education Campaign

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.
