Checkd International passes 1 million bets placed across NFL season on SmartPicks
- Checkd International’s SmartPicks app has surpassed one million bets in just five months
- There have been over six million screen views by users
- More than 8,000 subscriptions have been purchased on SmartPicks Pro
Checkd International, the North American sports betting specialist and part of the award-winning Checkd Group, has announced a successful first NFL season for its SmartPicks betting app with many huge milestones hit by users.
At the culmination of Super Bowl LIX in Louisiana, over one million bets had been added to bet slips through SmartPicks, as the informative and streamlined app proved it was a roaring success.
The new and improved SmartPicks app was launched in October, midway through the NFL season, and builds on existing technology used in the UK by the Manchester-based company, to provide a unique sports betting-focused app to the US.
There have been over six million page views on SmartPicks since the launch, equating to more than one million each month.
The apps prop tool, which sits front and centre, has been hugely popular with users, and over one million markets have been selected using this.
In the past five months, there have been more than 29,000 installs for the app as more users across America look to use this as their preferred choice when gambling.
SmartPicks Pro, which gives users even more access and is Checkd Group’s first-ever subscription model product, saw more than 8,000 users join throughout the NFL season, proving how vital this model will be for the business going forward.
SmartPicks was built in-house by Checkd Dev, the technology specialist division of Checkd Group, which has supported top-tier operators with new products in the past year, including Paddy Power’s Mix ’N Match bet building tool.
The success of SmartPicks continues to expand Checkd Group’s position in the US-based betting market through Checkd International’s on-the-ground presence, and 2024 saw a 187% increase in app searches for the business.
Commenting on the success, Callum Broxton, Head of US Operations at Checkd Group said: “We’re delighted to announce that our SmartPicks app has been greatly received in the American sports betting market, with millions of bets placed and thousands of new users choosing the market-leading technology provided this NFL season.
“The launch of SmartPicks Pro has proven successful for the business, and with plenty of positive feedback from users, means we are looking for further ways to tap into revenue subscription models as there is clear demand for this.
“As we enter a key stage of the NBA season and March Madness set to begin, we look forward to developing the app further and making betting even easier across America.”
