Simplebet scores record-breaking 2023 college football season

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Simplebet, the global leader in micro-betting products, is celebrating the completion of a record-breaking 2023 college football regular season, as it looks ahead to bowl season and the College Football Playoff with significant upward momentum.

The micro-betting provider saw increases across the board, taking over three million bets during the regular season, a 120% increase from the year prior. Handle, or the total amount of money wagered, also rose 120% compared to the previous season, showcasing the stickiness of Simplebet’s micro-markets.

This year's College Football Playoff will feature four premier programs that during the regular season accounted for a high level of engagement in terms of micro-bets placed:

- The top-seeded Michigan Wolverines were the third most bet team this season;
- No. 2-seeded Washington Huskies finished the fourth most heavily bet team;
- No. 4 seeded Alabama Crimson Tide completed the season fifth
- No. 3- seed Texas Longhorns finished just outside of the top ten

“The Coach Prime effect” also registered throughout Simplebet’s markets, as the Deion Sanders-led Colorado Buffaloes finished as the second most interacted team this season in terms of wagering. The Ohio State Buckeyes received the most micro-bets this season, and also played in the most active matchup of the season, as the latest edition of “The Game' between Ohio State and Michigan cleared all other contests in terms of total micro-bets placed.

“We are thrilled with the increases we’ve seen across the board this season with our College Football micro-betting markets,” said Simplebet CEO Chris Bevilacqua. “This is a testament to the hard work of our entire team at Simplebet and the underlying technology, providing markets for 660 games this season, and every upcoming bowl game and playoff game. We continue to showcase our dynamic product offering, and how it can fit to any sportsbook operator's platform.”
