MaximBet offers NIL deal to female college athletes in Colorado
MaximBet offers NIL deal to female college athletes in Colorado
Online sports betting brand MaximBet has announced that it is offering a Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deal to every female student athlete at Division I, II and III colleges and universities in Colorado.
MaximBet gained market access Colorado earlier this month.
The deal will offer a cash payment and merchandise rewards, along with an invitation to the MaximBet “Max-querade” Party in Denver on October 30 to athletes who contact MaximBet to sign up.
To become eligible, female athletes must follow MaximBet on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter and send a direct message showing interest in such a deal on any of these platforms.
“We really value our position within the Colorado community, so what better way to show our support than by supporting student-athletes in Colorado,” Doug Terfehr, VP of brand and communications at MaximBet, told iGB.
“This is uncharted territory working with student athletes and providing them an opportunity to leverage their name, image and likeness, make some money and maybe have some fun on the way.”
The athletes will also be asked to feature the brand on their personal social media channels. The two athletes with the highest social media engagement will receive a further payment in addition to the initial cash payment.
This is the first NIL deal offered by MaximBet. Deals along these lines only became possible earlier this year, when a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year allowed NCAA student athletes to take endorsements.
“We wanted to be one of the first brands that showed support for student athletes after NIL became an option, but we also wanted to take a different approach” added Terfehr.
“A lot of deals have been with male athletes or only at the division one level, but we wanted to support female athletes across the whole NCAA.”
Since August, MaximBet has also gained market access in Arizona, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

In today's digital landscape, businesses must harness the power of search engine optimization (SEO) to stay competitive and thrive. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the numerous benefits of SEO for small businesses and provide actionable tips to help you maximize your online presence.
Introduction to SEO for Small Businesses
SEO is the process of optimizing your website and online content to improve your visibility on search engines like Google. By implementing effective SEO strategies, small businesses can enjoy a myriad of benefits, such as increased organic traffic, better user experience, and higher conversion rates.
Increased Visibility and Brand Awareness
SEO helps small businesses rank higher on search engine results pages (SERPs) for relevant keywords. This increased visibility leads to greater brand awareness, as users are more likely to discover and engage with your business online.
Actionable Tip: Perform keyword research using tools like Google Keyword Planner to identify high-traffic keywords relevant to your business.
Enhanced User Experience
Optimizing your website for SEO often involves improving user experience (UX), such as faster loading times, mobile responsiveness, and intuitive site navigation. A better UX leads to higher user engagement, lower bounce rates, and improved search rankings.
Actionable Tip: Conduct a site audit to identify areas for improvement and implement changes to enhance UX.
Cost-Effective Marketing
Compared to traditional marketing channels, SEO is a cost-effective way to reach your target audience. By investing in SEO, small businesses can generate a higher return on investment (ROI) and allocate their marketing budget more efficiently.
Actionable Tip: Focus on creating high-quality, shareable content to attract organic traffic and backlinks, reducing your reliance on paid advertising.
Targeted and Sustainable Traffic
SEO enables small businesses to attract targeted traffic by ranking for industry-specific keywords. This ensures that the visitors to your site are interested in your products or services, increasing the likelihood of conversion. Additionally, effective SEO strategies result in sustainable, long-term traffic growth.
Actionable Tip: Create and optimize content that addresses the needs and interests of your target audience.
Improved Conversion Rates
By attracting targeted traffic and providing an exceptional user experience, SEO can lead to higher conversion rates. Users who find your website through organic search are more likely to convert into customers, as they are actively seeking solutions that your business offers.
Actionable Tip: Optimize your website for conversions by using clear calls-to-action (CTAs) and simple, user-friendly forms.
Establishing Authority and Trust
A well-optimized website with valuable content and a strong backlink profile establishes your business as an authority in your industry. By ranking high on SERPs, users perceive your brand as trustworthy, which can significantly impact their purchasing decisions.
Actionable Tip: Produce high-quality, informative content and collaborate with industry influencers to build your online reputation and earn valuable backlinks.
Competitive Advantage
Investing in SEO helps small businesses stay ahead of the competition by ranking higher on search results for relevant keywords. By dominating the search results, you can capture a larger market share and increase your brand's visibility.
Actionable Tip: Perform a competitive analysis to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your competitors' SEO strategies and capitalize on any gaps in the market.
Long-term Success
SEO is a long-term investment that can yield significant benefits over time. As search engines continue to evolve, businesses that prioritize SEO will be better equipped to adapt to changing algorithms and maintain their online presence.
Actionable Tip: Stay updated with the latest SEO trends, SEO Tools and best practices to ensure your strategies remain effective and future-proof.
Conclusion
By leveraging the power of SEO, small businesses can enjoy numerous benefits, including increased visibility, enhanced user experience, cost-effective marketing, targeted and sustainable traffic, improved conversion rates, authority and trust establishment, competitive advantage, and long-term success. To maximize these benefits, consistently monitor and refine your SEO strategies to stay ahead in the ever-changing digital landscape.

Madison Square Garden eyes sports betting move - 11th January 2019
The parent company of New York’s Madison Square Garden (MSG) could be set to move into the sports betting market after applying to trademark its MSG brand for sports wagering purposes.
Madison Square Garden Company - which operates MSG, as well as sports and entertainment venues in Los Angeles and yet-to-be-completed venues in Las Vegas and London, plus a number of sports franchises - has filed an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office referencing the use of the MSG brand across online, mobile and social media.
The filing requests the MSG brand be trademarked for downloadable mobile applications for sports wagering, as well as organising, arranging, conducting and participating in sports wagering tournaments, providing information related to sports bets, and competitions and contests.
MSG also requests that the mobile section of the trademark covers fantasy sports contests, managing and participating in fantasy sports leagues, and for providing sports and esports programming, news, previews, alerts, replays, video clips, web cam feeds and information.
The application also references the use of the MSG trademark for the provision of betting and online gambling services, with a view to arranging and conducting interactive peer-to-peer gambling competitions and interactive real-time gambling under the brand.
In addition, MSG makes specific reference to social media, saying that the trademark would apply to social networking in the field of gaming, provided via a website and web-based services.
However, the application does not feature any language related to land-based betting or in-venue gambling at the arena. MSG is home to a number of major league sports teams including NHL ice hockey team the New York Rangers and NBA basketball franchise the New York Knicks.
MSG is yet to respond to a request for comment from iGamingBusiness.com.
New York is yet to legalise sports betting, but Senator Joseph Addabbo last month pre-filed a bill setting out a regulatory framework for land-based, online and mobile sports betting across the state, to be debated in the 2019 legislative session. Addabbo followed this by filing a separate bill to legalise online poker in New York earlier this week.
Both bills have been allocated to the Racing, Gaming and Wagering Committee.
