Super Bowl Prompts 100M Sportsbook Geolocation Checks During Chiefs Thrilling 38-35 Win

Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles was one for the ages, a thrilling back-and-forth between the NFL’s top two teams.

A fourth quarter holding call on Eagles cornerback James Bradberry on Chiefs wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster turned out to be the difference maker, as the penalty set up Kansas City kicker Harrison Butker for a game-winning 27-yard field goal. The Chiefs’ 38-35 win covered the spread — Kansas City was a 1.5-point underdog — and easily went over the game’s 51.5-point total.

Super Bowl LVII was a doozy and everything the NFL hoped for. The refs largely avoided any overly controversial calls, and the Chiefs and Eagles provided nonstop excitement from whistle to whistle.

Sportsbooks said the electrifying finale to the NFL season resulted in record sports betting activity. GeoComply, the leading cybersecurity and fraud prevention third-party servicer for legal sportsbooks in the US, said it facilitated more than 100 million geolocation checks during the big game, an all-time high for a Super Bowl weekend.
