On a normal day, mobile sports wagering<\/strong> accounts for more than 60 percent<\/strong> of the handle for Nevada sportsbook operator CG Technology<\/strong>. This information comes from the VP of Business Development for CG Technology Matthew Holt<\/strong> on a recent Sharp 600 <\/strong>podcast.<\/p>\n

The percentage of the handle from mobile wagering drops massively<\/strong> when there\u2019s a major event. Mobile wagering is closer to 40 percent<\/strong> for CG Technology when there\u2019s a major event like the first weekend of March Madness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All CG Technology sportsbooks in Nevada are located in Las Vegas<\/strong>, so it\u2019s safe to assume the majority of wagers happen in Las Vegas. Anecdotally, this can be seen at other sportsbooks in Las Vegas casinos that cater mostly to tourists. The casinos farther away from the Vegas Strip tend to have slightly shorter lines<\/strong> to place wagers since many already use mobile wagering apps.<\/p>\n

Why sports wagering apps are necessary during March Madness<\/span><\/h2>\n

Convenience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nobody visits Las Vegas, or any casino, to stand around for 30 to 60 minutes<\/strong> doing nothing<\/strong>. This is the case at sportsbooks throughout Nevada during the first weekend of March Madness.<\/p>\n

There are 16 games<\/strong> on the first two days of the NCAA basketball tournament.There are also people looking to place wagers from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m<\/strong>. There are still longer lines than usual on Saturday and Sunday when there are only eight games per day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sports wagering apps help alleviate the time wasted<\/strong> standing in line for anyone visiting a sportsbook in Nevada. It only takes 10-15 minutes<\/strong> to sign up for a mobile sports wagering account.<\/p>\n

Once signed up and funded, bettors can wager on games from anywhere inside the state<\/strong>. Since visitors decend on the casinos before game day, it\u2019s wise to set up an account before<\/strong> the crowds arrive to bet.<\/p>\n

Being able to wager on a mobile device allows bettors to place wagers and avoid the lines unless there\u2019s a need to fund an account again or withdraw winnings.<\/p>\n
