NHL microbetting markets are coming to Caesars Sportsbook.
These first-of-its-kind in-play markets will be rolled out via Simplebet throughout March and available for the remainder of the 2023-24 NHL season and playoffs.
Simplebet is a global technology leader in microbetting which creates microbetting markets for MLB, NFL, college football, and college basketball, and introduced microbetting options for the current NBA season.
“Simplebet’s real-time in-play NHL betting markets are a perfect way for Caesars to bring hockey fans closer to the ice, and we’re happy to be the first in the industry to offer them to players,” said Ken Fuchs, COO and head of sports at Caesars Digital, of the deal.
Bettors will be able to bet on the following never-before-seen in-play betting markets during NHL games:
- Next Goal Exact
- Next Goal Strength
- Next Power Play Result
- Team Next Power Play Result
- Next Faceoff Winner
- Next Faceoff Winning Team
- Next Goal Strength
- Team Next Goal Strength
- Next Shot on Goal Team
NHL enthusiasts across North America will be able to bet on things like “Will the New York Rangers take the next shot on goal?” or “will the New Jersey Devils’ next power player result in a goal?”
“We have always believed there was untapped potential when it came to in-play betting in such a popular, global league like the NHL, and the nine brand new in-play markets we are delivering this year will prove that,” said Simplebet CEO Chris Bevilacqua.
There was no mention of offering micro-betting markets focused on individual player performance yet though.
Simplebet continues to drive innovation for fan engagement with the live sports experience. It launched Same Drive Parlays and a handful of other microbetting markets for the 2023 NFL season. It is partnered with leading online sports betting sites like BetMGM, DraftKings, and bet365, and helped generate $47 million in handle from Simplebet’s partnered operators last year.
