NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Technology is
great. Except when it isn't.
If you were trying to wager with online sports betting on the
2021 Big Game and couldn't, you know exactly what we're talking
about. Several of the big player sportsbooks experienced unplanned
outages both before and during the Big Game, which affected
everyone, including them, in a big way. Not only were there tons of
people that were unable to place their bets, on the Monday
following the debacle, several prominent gaming companies had their
stock prices fall sharply.
The companies that service the online sports gambling industry
must be prepared to handle these large sporting events. The large
demand around the Big Game in Tennessee left sportsbooks DraftKings, BetMGM
and FanDuel with tech disruptions and outages, while the fourth
book, Action 247, was able to meet the needs of all their customers
with no hiccups.
With such increased demand for online sports betting, you'd
think that all the online sports betting sites would be geared up
and ready for what probably is and always has been one of the
biggest betting days of the year. However, the outages of the big
sportsbook players, leaves gamblers with the uncertainty of whether
they can handle the global sports calendar. Events where there is
always going to be a "bottleneck of bettors."
