The 2021 Super Bowl went down in history for a number of reasons. But off the field, a number of major US bookmakers saw their servers crash, unable to handle the big game traffic. Companies like Draftkings, Fanduel and Barstool were left red-faced by technical difficulties, and punters across the country were frustrated.
So has history repeated itself in 2022 or did the bookies learn their lesson? Follow our real-time status updates above.
Super Bowl traffic peaks: What to expect
- Super Bowl LVI is THE major betting event of 2022. CNBC reported that over 30 million adults would place a game, many of whom are first-time bettors. New customers always get the best Super Bowl promos.
- Last year's traffic crashes were caused by surging demand. Legal online sports betting has only emerged in recent years in the United States.
- Affected bookmakers blamed the crashes on third-party provider issues, but that was of little comfort to those who couldn't get their bets on.
What to do if my sportsbook crashes on Super Bowl day?
- First of all, leave as much time as possible to place your bets. That will minimise the risk of an unexpected crash affecting your betting experience.
- Check for live updates on the bookmaker's social media. Perhaps you have an internet problem yourself.
- Consider signing up at another sportsbook instead; depending on your state of residence there may be many choices.
Let's keep our fingers crossed no such traffic crash recurs before or during the 2022 Super Bowl, and everyone gets their action on as required. Don't forget to always gamble responsibly.
As a final thought, don't miss out on our 101 guide to betting on the Super Bowl.
