Micro-betting technology company Simplebet Tuesday announced new betting markets for the National Hockey League’s upcoming postseason. The markets will be rolled out through March and are now available through Simplebet’s partner, Caesars Sportsbook, for the remainder of the NHL season.
“The launch of our NHL product marks another massive accomplishment for the entire Simplebet team,” said Simplebet CEO Chris Bevilacqua in a statement. “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. As we have seen with other sports, our micro-markets are driving incremental engagement and consumption of live sporting events. We look forward to creating a new way for fans to interact with the NHL for the remainder of this season.”
