Players Had Fun

Mattias Stetz, COO of Rush Street Gambling said, “ It was a successful first year for Oscar’s betting and players told us they had a lot of fun. We are happy to have given those, who aren’t necessarily sports fans, the chance to experience a new and exciting way to watch a big event and have extra reason to root for their favourites to win.”

Demand

The demand was so high for betting on the Oscars, Grammys, Emmys etc, it pushed operators in New Jersey to offer odds, which they couldn’t refuse the public!Roma was the most popular to win ‘Best Picture’, but was pipped at the post by Green Book, Black Panther received the second most popular votes in that category. With extensive reports from Television executives, betting on live events in New Jersey will increase viewing and more people will wager on these major events.
