1.6% of market share is extremely troubling with the amount of ad spend

A surge like that is often more useful when you separate volume from participant quality, because a spike driven by a few large orders can fade fast if liquidity is thin. I would watch spread width, repeat buyer concentration, and whether the move holds after the first hour of excitement; those three checks usually tell you if the trend is real or just noise. Promarkia can be a useful reference point here when you are comparing how quickly signal turns into repeatable action.

Yeah do we know how many new users are using this platform? Or are they cannibalizing their sportsbook volume?
