SOFTSWISS Shares Winning Sportsbook Strategies for the 2024 Olympic Games

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The Summer Olympic Games kick off today, bringing profitable opportunities for sports betting operators during the typically quiet post-UEFA Euro period. SOFTSWISS, a global tech expert with over 15 years of experience providing innovative iGaming solutions, shares valuable tips and strategies to help operators maximise their benefits during this major sporting event.

This year, the opening ceremony takes place outside traditional stadiums. The grand start of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games occurs on the Seine River, with 10,500 athletes from 206 countries floating down the river on boats. A notable feature of this year’s event that can attract a new audience is the debut of breaking (breakdancing) as a new competitive sport.

Targeting Specific Audiences

Operators have numerous opportunities for the Olympics beyond popular sports like football, basketball, and tennis. Athletes will compete in 45 disciplines, offering a strategy to attract niche sports fans. By offering diverse welcome bonuses, operators can expand their player base and introduce newcomers to their brand. 

Geo-targeting is another approach. By allowing players to bet on their compatriots, operators can engage old and new bettors without causing adverse reactions.

Alexander Kamenetskyi, Head of SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, shares: “The Olympic Games bring another unique opportunity to the table. This year, the Olympics follow the UEFA Euro, allowing operators to re-engage ‘dormant’ players who typically ‘awaken’ for major football events like the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro.”

Diversifying Risks

The project’s stability increases with more sports bettors familiar with different sports. Therefore, operators are encouraged to aim to familiarise players with as many sports as possible. Traditionally, bettors tend to wager on team sports like football, which should attract around half of all bets. Other popular sports include basketball and tennis, which are expected to garner up to 40% of wagers, with swimming, archery, gymnastics, and track and field also drawing attention.

Alexander Kamenetskyi, Head of SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, adds: “The Olympic Games offer a wide range of attractive disciplines for wagering this year. Fans will undoubtedly follow the newly crowned European champions, the Spain national football team. Tennis, featuring familiar faces like reigning French Open champions Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek, and its iconic venue, Roland Garros, is another highlight. We recommend finding compelling stories and promoting them to the audience, using free bets or other bonuses to diversify betting interests.”

Reactivating Inactive Players

Events featuring national teams provide an excellent opportunity to reactivate inactive players through various marketing tools. The simplest method is launching an email newsletter. The SOFTSWISS Sportsbook team advises its partners to create country-specific offers with bonuses for bets on their national team.

Alexander Kamenetskyi, Head of SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, adds: “It’s important to consider the casino and sportsbook as one iGaming project. This strategy can easily be applied to reactivating former casino players.”

Earlier this year, SOFTSWISS introduced the Sportsbook Budget Calculator. This tool includes winning practices for launching a sportsbook, and the ready-to-use P&L calculator assists with budgeting.

After a thrilling Grand Final, T1 claimed the 2024 off-season champions title at this year’s Red Bull Home Ground. Emerging victorious with a 3-1 victory over Cloud9, they take home the much-coveted trophy for Korea.

In front of more than 2000 fans experiencing the excitement first-hand in Berlin, Germany and the thousands more watching at home, the professional VALORANT Invitational tournament saw a closely fought finale play out on the Arena Berlin stage.

As the event kicked off on Thursday 21 November, the Group Stages saw both T1 and Cloud9 put in dominant performances as they each went 2-0. While Team Heretics started in a strong position with a win over FOKUS, they fell to Cloud9 and, due to medical issues, were unable to continue, sending FUT Esports straight to the Semis. Vying for their own spot in the semi finals, last year’s champions Fnatic were unable to replicate their 2023 success as G2 headed into the lead with a 2-0 victory.

The Playoffs saw Cloud9 continue their dominant streak as their Semifinals match against G2 Esports went 2-0 with strong performances on both Sunset and Pearl. FUT Esports faced off against T1 in a hotly competitive game, with T1 taking the first map and FUT Esports the second. After a neck and neck showdown, T1 finally took Ascent as FUT bowed out the tournament and T1 advanced to the grand final.

The final stage of the competition saw Cloud9, who came in second place at last year’s tournament, go head to head against T1 in a thrilling matchup. Continuing to step it up in the grand final, T1 were off to a strong start as they took Abyss in a closely fought first match. Although Cloud9 soon equalled the score as they took the second map, it was T1 that eventually emerged victorious, winning the next two closely contested games to claim the trophy and Red Bull Home Ground 2024 champion title.

Following an excellent performance throughout the tournament, Red Bull Home Ground champion BuZz of T1 said: “Winning this tournament means a lot for us. Against international teams we show we’re strong, so that’s why I’m happy we win this tournament and maybe we can keep this momentum until the end of 2025!”
