Sunday's Eagles-Chiefs game was objectively one of the best Super Bowls ever, and it was also — very objectively — the sports betting event with the most geolocation checks ever, according to GeoComply.
Over 100 million geolocation checks were logged in states where online wagering is legal. This marks a 25% year-over-year increase, according to a press release from the company.
“Super Bowl LVII was a record-breaking event,” said Anna Sainsbury, CEO and co-founder of GeoComply. “GeoComply data reveals that Americans' interest in legally betting on the Super Bowl has never been higher.”
The game, which took place in Arizona's State Farm Stadium, marked the first time the Super Bowl was played in a state where sports betting is legal. To that end, there were over 100,000 geolocation checks in and around the stadium from over 8,000 accounts. (While GeoComply works with the majority of legal American sportsbooks, these figures do not represent the entirety of the U.S. betting market.)
