September 2024 in review: Stake casino & sports betting data highlights

Sports betting and casino plays were on fire during September at Stake. The gambling company fully caters to its players and outside partners. Both things are reflected in the number of bets placed, records that were broken, and new sponsorship deals made.  It was all made possible thanks to the variety of sports events that transpired during the last month that kept the players tied to their accounts and fully engaged. We’re here to talk to you about the Stake.com story that occurred in September through sports highlights, numbers and basics accounting, and all news that came our way through this platform. The casino industry is one that never sleeps and September is just another proof of it.

September Recap of Casino Player Statistics and Sports Betting Trends

Oh my God was September good both for the house and for players alike. Yes, it was!  Do you know how many bets were placed in a span of 30 days? Let us tell you – the number is extraordinary: 1,238,958,285 total casino bets. Online casinos are popular, and they’re showing an upward trend too. As you could guess, the landscape was dominated by slot games. If we look only at slots there were 1,219,976,712. Casino players have all the love in the world for slots and these numbers reflect it.

For all of you in love with Sweet Bonanza 1000, the biggest news is that one of our colleagues, the slot lovers, managed to put over $1  million solely on this slot machine. While that number is high, and it shows the popularity that Sweet Bonanza 1000 has, the biggest payout came from a different side. One player cashed out $6 million in one go from Slayers Inc., a slot machine from Hacksaw Gaming. While these titles took the mantle in terms of bets coming in and payouts coming out, the in-house Stake Original that won most of your hearts is Mines.

While slots and casino games remain as popular as ever, we can tell you that sports betting is not too far behind in terms of total bets and overall popularity. The total of sports bets in September stands at  6,787,593. A big number, we know. Most of you already know this, the most popular sport during September to bet on was soccer. We can already say that this trend will remain as it is in the coming months as the number of soccer games increases drastically compared to other sports. Another reason why soccer and sports betting in general remain so popular is the fact that the possibility of a massive payout remains a reality. One player proved this claim by winning $1.5 million from a single multi-bet. Trust us, if you want to start a sports betting adventure, soccer is the way to go, as all you need is strategy paired with a bit of luck. Both can be found at Stake.

Trending Casino Games and New Additions in September 2024

Let us turn our attention back to the casino section of Stake’s platform. Some of the top software developers contributed to the growing community on this online casino platform and the titles we’re about to list prove this. The catalog of slots and similar casino games grows by the day, so keeping track every month with us might be a wise move for players.

If you continue reading, you will learn that the top five new games, in no particular order are Big Bass Boom, Badge Blitz, The Dog House: Muttley Crew by Pragmatic Play, Brains for Breakfast by Twist Gaming, and San Quentin: Death Row by Nolimit City.

For folks who do not enjoy the new additions, the attention needs to be turned toward the most popular slots at Stake, and those are Sugar Rush, Gates of Olympus, and of course, the Sweet Bonanza 1000 all from Pragmatic Play, closely followed by Wanted Dead or a Wild and Le Bandit from Hacksaw Gaming.

While slots are and remain the most popular games on Stake and the majority of other online casinos, the live dealer games also have their audience. The public on this online gambling platform loves to play Speed Baccarat by Pragmatic Play, Roulette Live by the same software developing company, Live Blackjack Lobby by Evolution Gaming, Lighting Storm by EG, and Crazy Time by Evolution Gaming. If you want to feel as close as possible to playing in a real land-based casino these titles should be where your focus is.

The Stake will continue to work with the best software developers in the domain of online gaming, and during the last month, the names that stood out on their platform include the mainstays such as Pragmatic Play and Hacksaw Gaming, closely followed by Play’n Go and Push Gaming, with Popiplay being a new addition to the mix.

Biggest Sporting Events in September 2024

Once again, it is time to move away from casinos and move to the world of sports betting. Sports betting wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for sports events. For all of us who play, September was a dreamy month. We can only hope that October will be half as good. For the best part, our attention was tied to the following sports events:

– UEFA: Let’s start with the best that club soccer has to offer – the Champions League. Today, more than ever, we’re talking about a league. The new format kicked off, and we can say that so far so good. While all eyes were on Manchester City with Pep Guardiola and Real Madrid with Kylian Mbappe, other teams managed to steal the spotlight. The league leaders after two rounds are the likes of Benfica, BVB, Juventus, Brest, and Aston Villa. The biggest disappointment so far is AC Milan who started their adventure with two defeats. At the bottom, we have the likes of Slovan Bratislava and Red Star none of which we expected too much to begin with.

– Golf: We now move toward a different type of ball. Golf popularity is as good as ever, and we might add that it is currently trending in the US as far as sports are concerned. It’s no wonder things are like this as Team USA managed to add two trophies to their cabinet in a span of one month. We’re talking about the Presidents Cup and the Solheim Cup.

– Cycling: By no means cycling is as popular as other sports on this list, but it had its fans tied to their seats during September. An underrated sport that comes with amazing excitement and where some of the world’s best athletes compete. UCI Road World Championships was televised during September and those who watched know that Tadej Pogacar took home the rainbow shirt.

– NFL: As tradition dictates, the NFL season kicks off in September, and for the next four months some of the most brutal sports battles are led in trenches across the USA. This sport is only played in America on a level this high, but its popularity is worldwide at this point without a doubt. We saw another great start by the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, even while being riddled with injuries and playing subpar by the standards Chiefs set with Mahomes and Andy Reid. The likes of the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are set on getting their revenge and making a stop to the Chiefs’ dominance. If they fail we’ll be crying for Tom Brady in no time. After a long time, Washington Commanders’ fans have something to be happy about as they’re leading the NFC East and their rookie QB Jayden Daniels looks more than promising.

– eSports: The growth of eSports can’t be denied. Not only are these sports growing in terms of sponsorships, prizes, and attendance, but the number of people who are betting on eSports is growing by the day. You can immediately check out the Stake.com eSports section and see if there’s anything there for you. As far as eSports September events go, we need to single out the Dota 2 Asian Games competition which is setting records as far as audiences go. Also, we have the ongoing League of Legends World Championship which will carry one all of its excitement to October too. We can’t wait to see how far Faker can take his team this time around.

– AFL: September saw Brisbane Lions eating through Sydney Swans in Aussie rules football. The sport is only played in the land down under, but we can’t neglect the ever-growing number of viewers and bettors who are starting to be enchanted by AFL.

For all of you who are into betting of a unique kind, we need to mention the upcoming US election. While this event has its main stage on November 5h, the best are already coming in from all sides of the world. Considering that now it is legal to bet on the US election even in the USA itself, we can’t wait to see the number of bets that will be cashed in once November comes.

New Sponsorships at Stake

As we already mentioned, Stake is growing in all directions. One of the biggest movements forward is always bringing in new names to the flock of people who will represent the company. While this part of the equation won’t be seen on the casino statistics & sports betting trends sheet, it is important to talk about it. It is especially important to talk about it when you learn that the latest face of the Stake company is no other than the UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishivili. Some of the biggest names in the world of UFC and MMA in general such as Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira are tied contractually to Stake, and Merab joins a selected company.

Exciting Highlights to Look Forward to in October 2024

When you’re reminiscing over past events it is always good to take a look at the future. The way things appear now, October is going to be a fine month for sports bettors and casino goers from all over the world. For one, baseball fans will have plenty to be happy about considering that they will be blessed by the upcoming World Series. In addition to them, tennis fans will be the ones looking to close out the long seasons. During October, they already enjoyed the Shanghai Masters which saw Novak Djokovic losing to Jannik Sinner, and now they can turn their heads towards the Rolex Paris Masters which will be another showdown between the tennis’ greatest players.

At Stake, there is also always a special place for cycling, and with the World Track Championships in Denmark scheduled for October, it will once again be at the center of the world’s sporting events. Beyond that event, fans of a bit more aggressive Rugby League will have the chance to enjoy the amazing Super League Grand Final. You will be able to enjoy all of these events at Stake.com’s streaming platform which ensures that no sporting event goes unnoticed.

Fans of sports betting and casino games alike have plenty to look forward not just in terms of sporting events but also to their adventure at Stake’s gambling platform. A new month is always a new opportunity to receive fresh bonuses, check out new and improved promotions, and get more immersed in the entire punting community.

In the end, a new month is a new opportunity to improve your fortunes. Of course, gambling needs to be done healthily, responsibly, and within your financial means. The online industry is massive and growing by the day, and while they always enjoy the influx of new players, they also want a safe working environment for everyone, on every betting platform you will find a guide for responsible gambling, various budgeting tools, and different other apps that can make your time well worth, entertaining, and not damaging in any sense.
