Published

on

 

The company, owned and operated by Carousel Group in partnership with Maxim, debuted in September in Colorado and plans multiple market launches in 2022

MaximBet, the lifestyle sports betting and online casino brand owned and operated by Carousel Group and in partnership with Maxim, the premier lifestyle brand, announced today that Indiana and Iowa will be its next two states to launch as part of its ongoing national expansion.

MaximBet, which launched in Colorado late last year, has separated from the pack of traditional sportsbooks by rewarding players with real world, money-can’t-buy experiences and best-in-class customer service. The company recently announced a multi-year partnership with Kambi Group plc, a leading global sports betting provider, and White Hat Gaming, a leading iGaming platform provider, on a technology stack. The partnership will provide players with a fast, intuitive and expansive betting experience featuring an incredible breadth of sports lines, live betting and creative props.

MaximBet LIVE, a division of MaximBet specializing in parties and events, will soon announce plans for kickoff parties in each state featuring entertainers, celebrities, prizes and rewards for current and new customers. The MaximBet LIVE event in Colorado included Fat Joe and Cheat Codes as headline performers and more than $40,000 in prizes. The company just hosted a star-studded event in Los Angeles during the weekend of The Big Game featuring artists like The Chainsmokers, Lil Baby, Gunna and more.

“Indiana and Iowa represent a prime opportunity for MaximBet to bring its world-class sportsbook and unparalleled real-life experiences to two of the most passionate sports markets in the country,” said Daniel Graetzer, CEO, MaximBet. “Sports betting has been a boon for both states since 2019, but sports fans have never experienced anything like the MaximBet LIVE parties, athlete and celebrity meet-and-greets, and in-person entertainment that MaximBet will bring to these two passionate sports states. We can’t wait to show our new users in Indiana and Iowa what we have in store.”

In Colorado, MaximBet has grown into one of the state’s top operators, achieving 75% month-over-month handle gross the last three months and surpassing expectations in both customer acquisition and retention. Along with Indiana and Iowa, MaximBet is expecting to go live in a handful of additional states (and Canada) in 2022.

In December, MaximBet launched its first-ever free-to-play platform, MaximBet Play. Developed in partnership with leading free-to-play provider Splash Tech, the new MaximBet Play app provides sports fans nationwide access to the unmatched gaming experience and epic prizes they’ve come to expect from MaximBet, absolutely free. MaximBet also introduced a groundbreaking Name/Image/Likeness (NIL) deal with all 21+ female student-athletes in Colorado, including Division I, II and III.

User-Centric Redesign for Casinosfiables.ca

Published

on

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.

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.
