      SuperBook Shuttering Online Sports Betting Ops Outside Of Nevada

      By Erik Gibbs

      In the latest shift of the U.S. sports betting landscape, SuperBook has announced the closure of its online sportsbook operations in eight states. Going forward, it will only retain its presence at its original home, Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino in Nevada.

      This move comes amidst a challenging market environment where SuperBook’s market share did not surpass 0.2% in the affected states. Despite a robust entry into the Arizona market in 2024, where it garnered $3.5 million in bets, the revenue outcome was modest, with a 1.2% hold translating to $42,350 in gross revenue.

      SuperBook’s venture in Virginia, which began last October, emerged as its most successful in terms of win rate, achieving nearly 6%. However, it represented a mere 0.1% of the state’s mobile handle, with gross revenue amounting to $177,343. This pattern of limited market penetration is reflective of the broader challenges faced by mid-tier sportsbooks competing against dominant players in the industry.

      Operational considerations are likely to have been factors in the decision-making process. The cost of maintaining multiple state platforms, marketing expenses to compete with larger entities, and the legal and logistical complexities involved in unwinding operations in different jurisdictions in a highly competitive market are proving to be more challenging than some operators anticipated.

      The consolidation continues

      The sports betting sector is witnessing a consolidation phase, with several sportsbooks ceasing operations. Betway, for instance, is winding down its sportsbook while maintaining iGaming operations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

      Betfred is also preparing to withdraw from various markets, including Maryland and Ohio. SaharaBets Sportsbook, which operated exclusively in Arizona, has already ceased its services this month.

      This trend is not isolated, as the industry has seen the exit of numerous sportsbooks in less than two years. Prominent names such as FoxBet, Kindred’s Unibet, TwinSpires, Barstool Sportsbook, Fubo Sportsbook, PlayUp Sportsbook, MaximBet, and PointsBet have all shuttered their U.S. sports betting offerings. The closures point to a highly competitive market where only entities with significant market share or unique value propositions can sustain operations.

      We regret to inform you that SuperBook Sports will no longer be accepting bets or deposits in the following states: AZ, CO, IA, MD, NJ, OH, TN & VA.

      SuperBook’s decision to focus on its Nevada operations through the Westgate SuperBook mobile app and the retail wagering at the Westgate in Las Vegas indicates a strategic pivot to leverage its established brand in a familiar market.

      The silver lining

      The closure of SuperBook’s platforms will result in the availability of licenses in several states with a cap on the number of licenses allowed. This could potentially – for an operator willing to take the risk – open up opportunities for new operators to enter these markets, particularly in Arizona, where a tribal license will become available following SuperBook’s partnership with the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe.

      SuperBook’s decision is a strategic move that will have a profound impact on its overall business strategy. This consolidation allows SuperBook to focus on its core competencies and strengths in a market where it has established brand recognition and customer loyalty. By concentrating on Nevada, SuperBook can optimize its resources, enhance its product offerings, and potentially increase its market share in a familiar environment.
