WagerWire Launches Sports Betting Marketplace on Red Rock Resorts’ STN Play App

WagerWire

WagerWire, a marketplace technology and media company serving sportsbooks and bettors, announced today that bet trading functionality is now live with Red Rock Resorts (NASDAQ: RRR) on Station Casinos’ STN Play. The STN Play iCasino offers hundreds of different slots and table games in addition to sports betting via Sports Plus powered by Sparket. Now with the WagerWire marketplace integrated, bettors can buy and sell their active sports bets at any time until the conclusion of the event. WagerWire announced in January of this year that it had partnered with Sparket, the Social Betwork™ that lets users bet on traditional sports, esports, live events, pop-culture, and beyond via a community-based social platform. “This is the beginning of a new generation of sports betting offerings,” said Zach Doctor, CEO of WagerWire. “Not only will STN Play users be able to bet on anything, but they will also have the option of selling those bets after the event has started, creating the next frontier of trading, engagement and entertainment. As a part of the collaboration, WagerWire also received GLI33 Certifications for our system integration with Sparket and GAN, which is another significant milestone for the company”. The Sports Plus sportsbook has been a breakout success for STN following the implementation of Sparket bets this year, helping attract droves of high value users to the platform. Users that play Sports Plus also tend to stick around and play more games overall and wager more coin volume. The addition of WagerWire is poised to turbocharge this growth even further, and attract new demographics to the STN iCasino. “Integrating WagerWire into our offering with STN Play and other clients opens a new vertical of activity once our pre-match markets have closed,” said Aaron Basch, Co-Founder of Sparket. “Now that bets can be bought or sold, live betting markets will be available to players, creating a whole new way for Station’s users to play.” The early results of adding WagerWire marketplace functionality have been extremely positive. Over 20% of betting volume is being traded on the market, and the sportsbook’s overall volume has increased significantly. Players that use WagerWire also spend more time in other parts of the app and play more iCasino games. The early results confirm the findings of an independent survey of bettors that found that 76% of bettors would spend more time inside a sportsbook’s app if bet trading were offered. This partnership comes on the heels of WagerWire’s partnership with sportsbook platform SB22, who also partnered with Sparket earlier this year. The Red Rocks Resorts partnership is the newest in a series of sportsbook rollouts by the challenger start-up who recently announced a partnership with Betr. STN Play is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. STN Play is currently offering 5,000 free coins for signing up, 10,000 free coins for each friend you refer, and the opportunity to collect bonus coins for each daily log in. Coins are also available for purchase. About WagerWire WagerWire empowers bettors to take control of their action and treat their bets as assets that can be bought and sold at any time. WagerWire’s proprietary marketplace technology can be directly embedded into sportsbook apps, and also powers the WagerWire app that serves as an aggregated marketplace of bets across partner sportsbooks. WagerWire also has a Media Network that generates daily content “By Fans, For Fans”.

What are Progressive Jackpot Slots? A Guide to Playing Progressive Slots at Canadian Casinos.

Acroud Media

As long as online gambling has been around, slots have always been the star of the show. They’re well suited for the online platform and have some excellent features and gameplay to offer. One of the most popular variations of slots is progressive jackpots. What is a Progressive Jackpot Slot? Progressive Jackpots were first introduced in the Mega Moolah slot, developed by Microgaming (now owned by Games Global). It’s different from a regular slot because it has a special jackpot, which is contributed to every time any player places a bet on the game. These jackpots aren’t just limited to the site they’re on either, as some jackpots aggregate across multiple casinos, called networked progressive jackpots. This leads to huge jackpots, which can be randomly triggered when you play the game. Sometimes, to be eligible to trigger the jackpot, you have to bet a certain amount, but this rule will change between games. There are usually different types of jackpots within the same game, with smaller jackpots easier to trigger than large ones. A great site which allows you to enjoy progressive jackpot slots is Spin Casino, read here to learn more. How to Play Progressive Jackpot Slots Playing progressive jackpot slots is no different from standard slot machines: insert your bet and spin the reels. If you hit a winning combination, your wager will pay out. Progressive jackpots usually trigger randomly, meaning you don’t need a specific combination to win. Sometimes, you must bet above a certain amount to be eligible for the jackpot, but this isn’t consistent. Different slots will have unique rules for play, so you should read through an individual game’s instructions before placing down any money. But, in general, if you know how to play a slot game, you’ll get the gist of a progressive. There are no guaranteed ways to win a progressive jackpot, and anyone who tells you otherwise is probably trying to scam you. However, there are some things you can do to keep your play fun and fair: Understand the rules for triggering a jackpot — you don’t want to make a bet after bet without having a chance at winning the progressive. Ensure you play at a reputable casino with a solid licence — you want to know that a casino will be able to pay out if you win. Make the most of all welcome bonuses, promotions and offers — some online casinos offer these bonuses on progressive jackpot slots. Tips for Playing Progressive Jackpot Slots Here are a few tips for playing progressive jackpot slots: Have a strategy prior to playing. For example, have a set amount to limit your play and have a time frame for playing. Don’t let frustration get the best of you, and take regular breaks. This will help to keep a level head and control your expenditure. Never chase your losses. Pick a safe online casino, preferably one with low deposit requirements, to get you started. Readers can find all the information they need to know about the Best $1 Deposit Casinos in Canada in our review. Popular Progressive Jackpot Slots Some of the most popular progressive jackpot slots include: Mega Moolah Megapays Jackpot Age of the Gods Jackpot Immortal Romance Mega Moolah Divine Fortune Pork Knox Conclusion The introduction of progressive jackpots changed the world of slots forever. Those huge jackpots are an exciting prize, and it’s hard to resist trying your hand at it. And even if you don’t hit it, the slot you’re playing is usually a good time, regardless. While the sky-high networked jackpots are attractive, don’t forget to give the smaller ones the time of day, too. Smaller jackpots are usually easier to trigger. And, of course, as exciting as progressives are, don’t get lost in those numbers. Take frequent breaks, watch your pockets and remember before all else to have fun.

Investors Dogpile Into Dogecoin and Galaxy Fox for End-of-Year Crypto Surge

RoundHouse Media

Investors Dogpile Into Dogecoin and Galaxy Fox for End-of-Year Crypto Surge As 2023 comes to an end, investors are piling into $DOGE and $GFOX for a massive end-of-year crypto surge. So, why these two? The upcoming DOGE-1 moon mission, a SpaceX project fully funded by $DOGE, drives the excitement surrounding Dogecoin. Meanwhile, Galaxy Fox ($GFOX), a more recent arrival on the market, gained major interest after raising over $400k in a few short weeks. These remarkable achievements have not gone unnoticed, and investors have started to look at these two as the best meme coins to buy now. What Makes $GFOX the Best ICO Crypto of 2023? Galaxy Fox is quickly becoming very popular on the market with its rewarding and exciting platform that blends gaming, DeFi, staking, and NFTs. This new ERC20 coin powers a Web3 running game where users can compete with each other and gain tangible rewards. Each gaming season, which will be held weekly and monthly, the top 20% of players will receive a share of the prize pool. This pool, raised with the in-game purchases, also funds the treasury and supports long-term project growth. An essential component of the Galaxy Fox ecosystem is staking. This program is powered by 2% of all transaction fees, which are collected in the Galaxy Fox Stargate reward pool. This setup, which rewards investors who lock up their $GFOX tokens, supports long-term holding and gives $GFOX a great competitive edge among the best meme coins to buy now. A clever tax structure supports the further sustainability of the token. Besides the mentioned 2% staking pool fee, another 4% is deducted from each $GFOX sale/purchase, supporting liquidity pool and treasury. This approach guarantees a steady stream of capital for future expansion and discourages investors from selling. One of the most notable aspects of Galaxy Fox is its presale, whose phased approach indicates a guaranteed 450% growth by the end. The presale will include ten separate stages, each will start at a higher price and, in the end, will reward the earliest backers with the highest rewards. Apart from this, the whole ICO phase will be packed with bonuses and giveaways, so the chances to profit with $GFOX are truly massive. The project has just entered the second presale phase, but many expect quick sellouts, considering the intensive buying pressure and adoption rate. So, ensure you join in early and benefit from all these opportunities. Is $DOGE Rebounding? In May 2021, SpaceX founder Elon Musk, in collaboration with Geometric Energy Corporation, first announced the DOGE-1 mission, which aims to broadcast advertisements from space. The plan was to integrate it into an Intuitive Machines ridesharing mission. According to the latest news, NTIA has finally approved the project’s X-Band frequency. This development, considering the DOGE-1 Satellite being fully funded by $DOGE, has already positively impacted the cryptocurrency's performance. It's important to keep an open mind on Dogecoin, though. While such events can cause some short price boosts, $DOGE’s long-term growth is always a topic of debate. This is because $DOGE is inflationary and lacks in-house developments, which have always been, and most likely will be, the main reasons for its volatility and sharp declines. Summary Finding the best meme coins to buy now is a tricky task. Yet, looking at the market direction and trends can help a lot. $DOGE seems to rebound finally, but the hype might be short-lived. Meanwhile, Galaxy Fox is becoming a fascinating new player, with an ecosystem built for long-term success and consistent financial returns. So don’t miss out on this exciting newcomer with insane profit potential. Check out their presale today to cash in on the biggest rewards.
