Nearly Six out of 10 Consumers Betting $500 or More Per Month Online Are Millennials
The gambling industry has experienced explosive growth over the past six years, bringing sportsbooks and casinos into mainstream U.S. culture. As those online and land-based betting options become ubiquitous, it is increasingly important for operators to sort out the high-value from the high-risk bettors.
Millennials continue to drive the highest levels of participation across gaming channels. They account for 57% of high-value online bettors, those spending $500 or more per month. And while high-value bettors are disproportionately high-income earners with the best credit scores however, they are also more likely to be delinquent for paying bills, loans and child support.
These and several other insights about consumers’ engagement in betting were garnered from an online survey of 3,000 adults in late April to early May 2024, and reported in the latest TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) U.S. Betting Report.
“As we’ve found in prior reports, the majority of betting consumers can afford this form of entertainment,” said Declan Raines, head of TransUnion’s gaming business. “In fact, having a significant bump in income was the primary correlating factor to whether consumers bet, regardless of income level. This suggests most consumers only wager what they can well afford to lose.”
Differences between online and land-based bettors
Consumers who bet online and in land-based casinos appear to have a financial advantage, compared to non-bettors. For example, 20% of online bettors and 18% of land-based bettors indicated their incomes increased a lot within the past three months—compared to just 4% of non-bettors. Similarly, 55% of online bettors and 58% of land-based bettors have good or excellent credit scores, while only 50% of non-bettors said the same.
While income and credit scores were higher among bettors, patterns indicating poor financial management also emerged for this cohort. This was more pronounced among high-value bettors.
Heightened scrutiny ahead
As the market matures, operators can anticipate increased scrutiny from media, with questions focused on the perceived social drawbacks of widespread betting. Other gaming markets such as the UK and Australia have experienced similar cycles leading to increased regulatory requirements around responsible gaming.
In fact, US state regulators are already evaluating how best to improve consumer protections, while striking the difficult balance between state tax revenues and the risk of pushing consumers to unregulated and offshore providers.
Operators may likely face increased requirements to assess responsible gaming risk for their customers. To do this, additional data sources that provide insights into consumer financial health will need to be considered to ensure proactive identification.
“Operators are keenly aware of the need to balance commercial performance with player protections,” said Raines. “The crucial next step will be to demonstrate proactive measures that protect consumers to regulators and consumer advocates. This can be achieved by leveraging their vast first party data, combined with consumer insights, which together can help them proactively identify high risk players without introducing unnecessary friction to the majority of consumers who play within their means.”
The new football-themed title keeps CreedRoomz’ existing mechanics and adds a Maradona-branded visual overhaul and 10,000x max payout claim.
CreedRoomz has launched a new live game show, “Maradona Run,” which the supplier says is backed by official rights and is now available to partner operators on the CreedRoomz Live Casino platform.
The company positions the release around the upcoming World Cup games, with a football-themed reskin of its existing interactive game show concept. CreedRoomz said the game’s “logic and core mechanics remain exactly the same,” while the visual identity has been rebuilt around a 3D animated caricature of Diego Maradona in a number 10 jersey.
Maradona Run combines a lottery-style ball draw, where players can manage up to eight interactive cards, with an “endless runner” bonus round. In the bonus sequence, the Maradona character runs through an obstacle course collecting glowing soccer balls that the supplier says translate into gameplay advantages including multipliers, speed boosts and prize doublers. CreedRoomz stated the game has a maximum payout potential of up to 10,000x the bet.
“Securing the official rights for Maradona Run allows us to hand our partners a massive competitive advantage just in time for the World Cup games,” said Armen Mnatsakanyan, Head of Sales Department at CreedRoomz. “By merging the legendary global appeal of Maradona with our high-retention endless-runner mechanic, we have created a premium crossover product that effortlessly converts football fans into loyal live casino players. The proven logic and math models are exactly what operators trust, but the brand power and vibrant new look make this a must-have commercial powerhouse.”
The title features a live presenter alongside the animated character and includes three bonus ticket tiers—Sprint, Trailblaze, and Marathon—intended to provide multiple bonus-entry paths per round, according to the supplier.

“Maradona Run” Launched by CreedRoomz as New Live Game Show with Official Rights
Leading live casino provider CreedRoomz has officially announced the launch of its highly anticipated new live game show, “Maradona Run,” backed by official rights.
Built to capture the celebratory spirit of the upcoming World Cup games, this groundbreaking release introduces an authorized, football-themed transformation of the company’s signature interactive game show concept. By securing the official rights to feature one of the greatest legends in football history, CreedRoomz is inviting global operators and players to engage with an entirely premium, legally authorized gaming experience.
While the game’s flawless logic and core mechanics remain exactly the same, the visual identity has been completely overhauled to welcome the World Cup games. The character has been transformed into a vibrant, 3D animated caricature of the legendary Maradona, proudly wearing his iconic number 10 jersey.
Maradona Run seamlessly bridges a fast-paced lottery ball draw with a cinematic, arcade-style endless runner bonus round. During the main game, players manage up to eight interactive cards as football-styled lottery numbers bounce in a high-tech studio chamber. When the bonus round triggers, players leave the studio behind and hit a digital, festive boulevard alongside Maradona himself.
Instead of traditional coins, the animated legend sprints down the obstacle-filled street course collecting glowing soccer balls. These collectibles correspond to crucial gameplay advantages, including total payout multipliers, energy speed-boosts, and prize doublers, culminating in a massive maximum payout potential of up to 10,000x the bet.

The live game show features a highly interactive setup where a live presenter stands side-by-side with the animated Maradona caricature, engaging with players in real-time. With three distinct bonus ticket tiers Sprint, Trailblaze, and Marathon players have multiple pathways to chase massive wins on every single round.
Maradona Run Live is now available to all partner operators integrating the CreedRoomz Live Casino platform.
