Global Betting on Super Bowl Set To Reach $20B This Year – Online Sportsbook and Casino Cloudbet Estimates $500M could Be Bet in Cryptocurrency

When the Chiefs and Eagles face off in the Supe Bowl this Sunday in the United States, sportsbooks around the world will be taking bets on everything from the outcome of the game to the time it takes country star Chris Stapleton to sing the National Anthem. Cloudbet, an online casino and sportsbook specializing in betting with cryptocurrency, estimates that by the time the game is over, those bets will add up to upwards of 20 billion US dollars in total value.

“Several states across America have legalized sports betting over the past few years, pushing trade groups there to estimate at least $16B in US turnover alone for the 2023 Super Bowl”, said a Cloudbet spokesperson. “We see the US market making up about two-thirds of Super Bowl betting, meaning at least $20B in worldwide turnover is entirely possible”.

Of that $20B, Cloudbet sees a potential for $500M or more to be bet in cryptocurrency. “We’re watching two trends happening across crypto that predict a big Super Bowl bet total for crypto this year”, the spokesperson said. “First, there is the general, growing adoption of cryptocurrency as part of corporate and personal portfolios around the world. And second, record user growth on our own platform last year points to a growing appetite for crypto adopters to not only bet on crypto, but to bet with crypto as well”.

Gambling advertising during sports events has also impacted growth, according to Cloudbet. “We don’t currently pay for broadcast advertising or sponsorship during sports, because we prefer to put that money into attracting users through better odds. But the truth is those ads work, and organic traffic to our site continues to rise as more and more people search for where they can bet on sports online, and where they can use crypto to place bets as well”.

With at least 100M global viewers tuning into the Super Bowl this year, some sportsbook advertisers are expected to spend heavily on ads during the game. That will mean a lot of interested sports fans searching “where to bet online” on Sunday. If even a relatively small percentage of those create new accounts and stick with betting into next season, the 2024 global totals could be much, much higher.

Affilka by SOFTSWISS, an affiliate management software platform, has secured the title of Affiliate Software Supplier at the prestigious EGR B2B Awards for the second consecutive year. The awards ceremony took place on 3 July at London’s iconic The Roundhouse, where the iGaming industry gathered to celebrate the most successful and innovative companies of the past year.

The consecutive win reinforces Affilka’s growing leadership in iGaming affiliate marketing software. Over the past 12 months, the product has consistently evolved, launching a series of powerful new features.

Among the recent updates is the Cross-Brand Player Duplicate Detection tool, which identifies overlapping player accounts across different casino brands within a single affiliate program. The platform also introduced the new Traffic Report, which provides real-time, click-to-registration and click-to-FTD metrics with multi-dimensional filters. Another new feature allows affiliates to access data on their marketing campaigns and tracking links directly via API, enabling automated data extraction and custom integrations.

At the end of last year, Affilka rolled out the Geo-Distributed Redirect feature, which boosts site visits by reducing redirect times from 1.5 seconds to 300–500 milliseconds, and the Cohort Analysis Report, which offers deeper insights into player behaviour.

Anastasia Borovaya, Head of Affilka by SOFTSWISS, commented on the recognition: “Winning this award two years in a row is an incredible achievement for our team. It reflects our hard work, creativity, and deep commitment to the continuing improvement of our platform. What makes this win special is knowing that the tools we build are already helping our partners solve real challenges. Whether refining traffic strategies or making smarter, data-driven decisions, we’re proud Affilka plays a part in their success.”

Thanks to ongoing updates and the introduction of new innovative features, Affilka by SOFTSWISS now supports over 450 brands, 400 thousand affiliate accounts, and 98 million player registrations.

The company’s marketing department received the Marketing Team of the Year Award for its bold creative approach and effective use of new technologies and data analytics. In addition, Valentina Bagniya, CMO at SOFTSWISS, was named B2B Marketer of the Year for transforming the company’s marketing function into a powerful brand engine within the iGaming industry.
