YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/isxODjRl8hw The holiday retail season is sneaking up on consumers who are eager to find the latest and greatest gifts for family and friends. According to the latest industry data, sales are expected to increase between 3.5% and 4.6% when compared to last year. That means most shoppers plan on spending just over $800 on holiday gifts this year. That rings in to more than $180 billion in total. Popular gifting categories remain consistent with last year’s trends, with tech gadgets reining supreme, followed by footwear, bath and body goods, scents, and travel. However, a growing number of Americans plan on gifting quality time to loved ones, in the form of concerts, movies, and restaurant experiences. Brahney has compiled a list of her favorite holiday hosting and gift ideas. GIFTING POPULAR & TRENDING: Brahney says, “Tractor Supply, the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the nation, is committed to helping shoppers sleigh the holidays by providing a one-stop shop for everyone on your list.” She continues, by pointing out one of the best gifts out there, which is a TikTok sensation, “ The Tractor Supply 12V Zero-Turn Lawn Mower Ride-On Toy is so popular and the kiddos are loving it!” It’s a toy lawn mower with an enclosed translucent deck that provides a lifelike illusion of mowing. The dual motor handle drive system is easy for little hands to operate and even allows for 360-degree spins. The rubber traction strip tires keep the ride smooth and steady, while the included seatbelt and cup holder add safety and convenience. It comes with a 12V rechargeable battery and wall charger. The lifestyle expert also points to another gift for people of all ages, saying “We can’t forget about the YETI Ramble 30 oz Tumbler. It’s perfect for the moms and dads who are outside playing with their kids.” The tumbler is double-wall insulated with an 18/8 stainless steel body, which means a drink keeps its temperature no matter how much of a beating this cup takes. The YETI Ramblers are BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and have a No Sweat Design to make sure your hands stay dry.

WagerWire Launches Sports Betting Marketplace on Red Rock Resorts’ STN Play App

WagerWire

WagerWire, a marketplace technology and media company serving sportsbooks and bettors, announced today that bet trading functionality is now live with Red Rock Resorts (NASDAQ: RRR) on Station Casinos’ STN Play. The STN Play iCasino offers hundreds of different slots and table games in addition to sports betting via Sports Plus powered by Sparket. Now with the WagerWire marketplace integrated, bettors can buy and sell their active sports bets at any time until the conclusion of the event. WagerWire announced in January of this year that it had partnered with Sparket, the Social Betwork™ that lets users bet on traditional sports, esports, live events, pop-culture, and beyond via a community-based social platform. “This is the beginning of a new generation of sports betting offerings,” said Zach Doctor, CEO of WagerWire. “Not only will STN Play users be able to bet on anything, but they will also have the option of selling those bets after the event has started, creating the next frontier of trading, engagement and entertainment. As a part of the collaboration, WagerWire also received GLI33 Certifications for our system integration with Sparket and GAN, which is another significant milestone for the company”. The Sports Plus sportsbook has been a breakout success for STN following the implementation of Sparket bets this year, helping attract droves of high value users to the platform. Users that play Sports Plus also tend to stick around and play more games overall and wager more coin volume. The addition of WagerWire is poised to turbocharge this growth even further, and attract new demographics to the STN iCasino. “Integrating WagerWire into our offering with STN Play and other clients opens a new vertical of activity once our pre-match markets have closed,” said Aaron Basch, Co-Founder of Sparket. “Now that bets can be bought or sold, live betting markets will be available to players, creating a whole new way for Station’s users to play.” The early results of adding WagerWire marketplace functionality have been extremely positive. Over 20% of betting volume is being traded on the market, and the sportsbook’s overall volume has increased significantly. Players that use WagerWire also spend more time in other parts of the app and play more iCasino games. The early results confirm the findings of an independent survey of bettors that found that 76% of bettors would spend more time inside a sportsbook’s app if bet trading were offered. This partnership comes on the heels of WagerWire’s partnership with sportsbook platform SB22, who also partnered with Sparket earlier this year. The Red Rocks Resorts partnership is the newest in a series of sportsbook rollouts by the challenger start-up who recently announced a partnership with Betr. STN Play is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. STN Play is currently offering 5,000 free coins for signing up, 10,000 free coins for each friend you refer, and the opportunity to collect bonus coins for each daily log in. Coins are also available for purchase. About WagerWire WagerWire empowers bettors to take control of their action and treat their bets as assets that can be bought and sold at any time. WagerWire’s proprietary marketplace technology can be directly embedded into sportsbook apps, and also powers the WagerWire app that serves as an aggregated marketplace of bets across partner sportsbooks. WagerWire also has a Media Network that generates daily content “By Fans, For Fans”. You can download WagerWire in the Apple App Store and Google Play, and find them @WagerWire on Twitter and LinkedIn, or @WagerWireLive on TikTok and Instagram. WagerWire is dedicated to providing users with a responsible gaming environment. If you think you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, resources are available. Call 1-800-GAMBLER.
