Kambi’s same game parlays shine as Super Bowl LVIII goes down to the wire

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.”

Leading iGaming technology provider Checkd Development, part of the award-winning Checkd Group, has partnered with William Hill to launch its Automated Betting System (ABS), enhancing efficiency and engagement in pre-match football and horse racing betting.

Through this partnership, William Hill has introduced a range of automated, one-click accumulator bets, powered by Checkd Dev’s innovative ABS technology.

At the heart of ABS is Checkd Dev’s proprietary ‘BRUNO’ platform, which powers all of Checkd’s in-house media products and an expanding portfolio of Tier 1 Operator and Media client solutions. This advanced platform automates accumulator bets at scale, leveraging betting trends, pricing data, and user behavior insights to drive engagement and conversion.

First launched in 2024 in collaboration with Flutter Group’s Sky Bet, Checkd Dev’s ABS has since evolved to further optimise accumulator bet presentation and simplify bet-slip journeys. With the ability to automate bet generation across multiple brands and territories, the system reduces manual workloads for trading teams while delivering highly relevant, data-driven betting opportunities.

For football betting, bets are dynamically categorised based on historical form, giving bettors greater insight and confidence in their selections. The system’s user interface (UI) has been refined over two years through deployments with multiple Tier 1 operators and media partners, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience.

Industry Leaders on the Partnership

Sandro Di Michele, Director of Horse Racing at William Hill, commented: “This partnership between William Hill and Checkd Dev demonstrates how committed we are to delivering new innovative products to our customers. The ability to deliver at speed has been vital, allowing us to launch both our pre-match football and horse racing products seamlessly ahead of the Cheltenham Festival.”

Soft2Bet, a leading provider of turnkey B2B solutions, has revealed how a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) unlocks faster product delivery, enhanced user experiences, and significant operational cost savings for providers. The recently published AWS case study highlights how strategic cloud integration has empowered Soft2Bet to achieve scalable growth and operational efficiency in highly competitive industries. Learn more about our advanced casino server solutions that support these results.

Before migrating to AWS, Soft2Bet faced operational challenges stemming from disparate data sources, high infrastructure costs, and slow time to market for new products. Accessing real-time insights was limited, hindering rapid decision-making and agility. Addressing these issues meant focusing on near real-time analytics, optimising infrastructure costs, accelerating partner onboarding, and delivering smoother, lower-latency user experiences.

Tech excellence is deeply embedded in Soft2Bet’s DNA, making the company a true game-changer in the industry. Beyond achieving exceptional platform performance and delivering strong results for clients, Soft2Bet has developed innovative tech solutions like MEGA. This proprietary platform sits at the intersection of the casino and casual gaming industries, blending the excitement of betting with engaging gamification mechanics. MEGA’s unique approach boosts player engagement and retention, setting new industry standards while being powered by reliable casino infrastructure.

To achieve its goals, Soft2Bet collaborated with AWS partner Snowflake to build a unified data ecosystem that eliminated scaling limitations. The integration utilised Amazon S3 for scalable data storage and Amazon RDS for efficient database management. Snowflake, accessed via AWS Marketplace, ensured secure management of vast data sources while delivering the flexibility needed for rapid adaptability through a robust casino infrastructure.

The impact of this integration was transformative. Compute costs dropped by 55%, allowing for more strategic resource allocation. Time to market improved by 200%, enabling faster product rollouts, while partner onboarding times were reduced by 70%, streamlining collaborations. Users benefited from significantly lower latency and smoother product interactions, all backed by high-performance casino infrastructure, leading to stronger engagement and satisfaction.

The internal impact has been equally impressive. Soft2Bet’s developers can now rapidly prototype and test concepts, reducing proof-of-concept times from weeks to days or even hours. This agility ensures that Soft2Bet remains at the forefront of innovation, continuously delivering value to both partners and end users.

Yoel Zuckerberg, Chief Product Officer at Soft2Bet, commented: “The collaboration with AWS has transformed our operations. We now have the agility to draw business insights quickly, connect to as many data sources as needed, and most importantly, drive better results for our clients. With AWS-powered casino infrastructure, we’ve accelerated time to market, reduced costs, and significantly enhanced user experiences benefiting both our partners and end users.”

Soft2Bet’s successful partnership with AWS stands as a benchmark for providers aiming for operational efficiency, scalable growth, and superior customer experiences. The company remains committed to leveraging cloud-based solutions to drive future innovation, continuously enhancing its technological capabilities to meet evolving market demands.
