The relationship between pop superstar Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been one of the dominant storylines of this NFL season. Some Super Bowl 58 betting sites have even installed Swift-related prop bets as part of their wagering offerings.
However, you should tread very carefully regarding those bets and the sites that offer them.
Offshore sportsbooks and Taylor Swift betting
Legal, regulated sportsbooks in the United States can’t offer prop bets specifically related to Taylor Swift’s actions or behaviors. If you’re seeing these wagers while in the U.S., you’re on an offshore betting site.
Offshore sportsbooks are not subject to the regulations the best online sportsbooks in the country must follow. While that means you may see Super Bowl 58 betting opportunities not available on some sites, it also means your money may be at risk. Some of those regulations we mention involve user protections that could affect your money or your identity. In addition, some of these sites do not adhere to responsible gambling regulations that are becoming more widely implemented around the industry.
For these reasons, we do not recommend using offshore sportsbooks for your wagering action. This applies to the Super Bowl, NFL betting, or any other form of sports betting.
Workarounds you may see this week
Canadian sportsbooks, meanwhile, aren’t under the same restrictions as their American counterparts. As such, those in the U.S.’s neighbor to the north may see the sort of props American outlets cannot offer. Some Ontario sportsbooks are offering action on when and how frequently Swift is shown on the broadcast, what color outfit she’ll be wearing, and whether or not Kelce will propose to her on the field after the contest.
ESPN BET is getting in on the Swift-Kelce action with some Super Bowl 58 betting props focused on puns. The Swift Action prop involves a touchdown being scored in the game’s first two minutes, for instance. The sportsbook also has a section devoted to Travis Kelce-related props titled “Swelce Specials.”
STN Sports, a Nevada-based sportsbook, is offering another Swift-related prop. Its “Tight End vs. Pop Star” market asks whether or not Kelce will have more receptions in Super Bowl 58 than his girlfriend’s 10 platinum albums.
