April Casino Player Statistics & Sports Betting Trends

Stake has always been popular with high rollers and April proved why once again. Last month, we eclipsed March’s biggest casino table game bet of $1,000,000 with a jaw-dropping wager of $1.2 million on a single card game of high-stakes Blackjack in our Privé Lounge.
With so many fantastic sports betting markets to bet on, it was no surprise that Stake’s Online Sportsbooks punters more than doubled the previous month’s wagers to peak at 10,665,393 bets placed in April! The biggest payout on our sports betting platform came from a multibet on baseball and basketball for a payout of over US $1.1 million.

Biggest Sporting Events in April 2024
April was a cracking month for the online sports betting industry, with hotly contested matches, nail-biting finishes and winning slips. Here are the online sports betting statistics and outcomes for April 2024:
Golf: The Masters at Augusta National delivered spectacular golfing, with fan favourite Scottie Scheffler taking the top spot at -11, a full 4 strokes ahead of second-placed Ludvig Åberg. This was Schefflers 10th career win, his 4th in 2024, and netted him a purse of $3.6 million.
Snooker: The World Snooker Championship was a hotly contested event, with defending champ Luca Brecel and potential rival Mark Selby both ousted in the first round. In a fist-clenching 35-frame final, 12th-seated Kyren Wilson won his first-ever World Snooker Championship victory over Jak Jones with a score of 18-14.
Horse Racing: The Grand National proved to be a more exciting event than originally anticipated, with the 2023 winner, Corach Rambler, losing his rider at the first fence. The ultimate winner was, however, the 7/1 joint favourite I Am Maximus, who brought home the first-place ribbon for Paul Townsend and Willie Mullins.
Tennis: The Madrid Open upset Spanish fans when local favourite Carlos Alcaraz lost in the Men’s Singles Quarterfinals to world no. 5 Andrey Rublev. Rublev beat Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime 4-6, 7-5, 7-5 to win the Men’s Single Finals.
Esports: The League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational Chengdu, in China, is currently underway, with players having completed the Play-In Stage. The first bracket will be played from 7 to 12 May, and the second from 14 to 18 May, with the finals being held on 19 May 2024.
Despite all the hype of these events, soccer was, once again, the most popular sporting event, with online sports bettors placing 8,606,007 total bets.
