SGPs account for more than a quarter of total Super Bowl handle for the first time

Super Bowl LVIII saw engagement with same game parlays (SGPs) reach new heights, as the product grew to account for 26% of handle on the NFL’s blue-ribbon event – a five percentage point increase on last year’s total.

Following Kambi’s first to market launch of in-game and cash out for SGPs ahead of last year’s Super Bowl, the growth in live SGPs across the Kambi network was particularly noteworthy, with share of in-game handle more than tripling in 2024. The overall in-game total was boosted by the ‘result of drive’ market which Kambi pioneered, the most popular in-game market after moneyline, spread and total points.

A night which saw a Patrick Mahomes-inspired Kansas City Chiefs win their third Super Bowl in five years delivered the biggest single event on the Kambi network over the last 12 months. Total handle was more than 150% higher than the 2023 UEFA Champions League final between Manchester City and Internazionale – the second biggest event on the Kambi network.

Although he put on an MVP performance, neither Mahomes nor his fellow quarterback Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers featured in the top three most popular players to bet on, with that accolade going the way of 49ers’ running back Christian McCaffrey, followed by Travis Kelce and Isiah Pacheco of the Chiefs.

The importance of offering a comprehensive range of player props before and during the event was underlined by their rise to 26% of total handle on Super Bowl LVIII, up from 20% on Super Bowl LVII.

Kambi’s Head of US Sports, Hans Neskvern, said: “The Super Bowl is always one of the biggest nights of the year across the Kambi partner network, and continual enhancements made to our NFL product have seen us deliver an offering which leads the market in depth and combinability.

“A dramatic conclusion in which the Chiefs further cemented a dynasty not seen since the days of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots rounded off a thrilling season for the NFL and Kambi, which we look forward to building on with our partners throughout 2024.”

Stake officially launches in Mexico via stake.mx, entering one of Latin America’s fastest-growing regulated markets
Expansion marks continued focus on high-value, regulated jurisdictions globally
Launch timed ahead of Mexico co-hosting the World Cup, establishing Stake’s presence before one of sport’s biggest calendar moments

Stake, the world’s largest online casino and sportsbook, today announces its official launch in Mexico, marking the latest step in its continued global expansion into regulated markets worldwide.

The move brings Stake’s category-leading sportsbook and casino platform to one of Latin America’s most dynamic and fast-growing online gambling markets. Operating from the stake.mx domain, the brand will deliver its globally recognised product to Mexican players – combining a premium user experience with cutting-edge technology, a wide-ranging content portfolio, and a strong mobile-first offering tailored to local preferences.

Mexico’s sports-led betting culture, high mobile penetration and increasing digital adoption make it a natural fit for Stake’s offering. The launch further strengthens the company’s footprint in Latin America, building on its momentum in markets such as Peru and Colombia.

Stake will operate in Mexico under a permit-based structure regulated by SEGOB (the Ministry of Interior), acting as an agent under Uno Capali’s licence agreement. This approach ensures compliance with local regulatory requirements while enabling Stake to establish a scalable and locally aligned presence.

Mexico’s role as a co-host nation for the upcoming 2026 World Cup – alongside the USA and Canada – adds further strategic weight to the timing of this launch. Entering the market ahead of one of the world’s largest sporting events positions Stake to capitalise on significant commercial and consumer brand-building opportunities.

Stake Director Jarrod Febbraio said: “Mexico is an important and exciting market for us – one that combines strong underlying growth with a deep cultural connection to sport, which aligns perfectly with what Stake is built for.

“We’ve built significant momentum across Latin America in recent years, including in markets such as Peru and Colombia, and Mexico represents a natural next step given its scale and long-term potential.

“With Mexico set to co-host the 2026 football World Cup tournament, the timing of this launch reflects our ability to move with precision into high-value markets at the right moment. It gives us the opportunity to establish a strong presence ahead of one of the biggest sporting events in the world and deliver a world-class experience for Mexican players.”
