Why is it that wagering contests are usually on games with a house edge and not on sports betting?
I’ve seen a few contests where you need to reach a certain wager amount to qualify, and sometimes the player with the highest total wagers wins by the end of a set date and time. But it’s almost always on slots or other casino games with a house edge, not on sports. Any reason why that’s the case?
Honestly , casinos arent here to be your sugar daddy, they rule ""slot multiplier"" competitions and freeroll poker tournaments to boost turnover and sweep, garner attention and hold players spinning under a built in house edge so most players suffer a loss in general. The slot competitions arent just, they are cunning marketing playing dopamine circle and UX. Freeroll poker may seem free but it functions as a funnel, operators built in , pull sweep from converting players later on and profit from your future action. Rewards arent charity, they are ads with payback.
Recently, I've played daily 24‑hour BTC prize‑race contests on a reputable casino, they run such contests not only for slots but also for sportsbook, which seems quite good to me.
