What's been fuelling the BlueBet share price?
BlueBet is relatively new to investors, after only listing on the exchange at the start of this month.
BlueBet hasn't released any price-sensitive news that could explain today's euphoric price action. As a result, it could be assumed that shares in the betting company are riding the waves of a generally stronger market.
Shares in the wagering start-up debuted at $2 per share, with investors still contemplating the company's value.
Earlier this month, the BlueBet share price received a boost after updating the market on its US operations.
The update highlighted BlueBet's agreement with the Dubuque Racing Association. As a result, the company will be allowed to conduct its online sportsbook operations in the state of Iowa. However, the agreement is subject to regulatory approval.
In addition, shares in BlueBet have also been on the receiving end of favourable analysis from brokers.
Recently, analysts from noted broker Ord Minnet put a buy rating on the company's shares. Analysts cited that BlueBet is positioned for growth given the gradual shift of sports betting online and the company's expansion into the US.
