Betsson, is a leading online gambling company that is better known in the U.S. as the parent company of Betsafe. The Swedish gaming company first came to the U.S. sports betting market in 2022 by opening up shop in Colorado. However, 2 years later they are calling it quit as Betsson is Leaving the US Sports Betting Market.
According to a statement by the Betsson Group, they will be stopping their B2C operation in the U.S. at the end of September 2024.
The operator first introduced its mobile sportsbook application in the United States, specifically in Colorado, under the Betsafe brand in collaboration with Dostal Alley Casino. However, it is now preparing to withdraw from the market.
Upon its launch, Betsson described the sportsbook app as “a significant element of the company’s B2B strategy in the nation.” Although the Betsafe application was designed for consumers, a significant aspect of its launch was to demonstrate the company's capabilities as a B2B provider within the North American market.
"We recognized our strengths as a major operator and understood the requirements for entering this market. Initially, we considered entering as Betsson, but soon realized that approach would be prohibitively expensive. Consequently, we determined that our primary objective was to introduce our technology here for the benefit of other partners and providers," stated Lance Agostino, Betsson U.S. Account Director, during an interview with SBC Americas at the time of the launch.

Ipswich Town fans celebrated the team’s return to the Premier League. However, they were reminded of how brutal their journey would be after meeting Liverpool to start the season. The latter’s post-Jurgen Klopp era began with a 2-0 win against Ipswich.
Ipswich and Liverpool faced off for the whole match, with Ipswich battling for possession and creating the game's two best opportunities. And they did it with a starting eleven that featured seven players from their promotion from English football's third division, League 1, a little over a year ago.
According to a sportsbook watchdog, Ipswich could not keep up with Liverpool as they stepped up their game and played faster. The score was leveled five minutes after the restart when Diogo Jota scored. Mohamed Salah then completed the scoring. The comfortable Liverpool we've grown to know and love over the past several seasons was shattered by a one-two punch that popped the Ipswich bubble.
