What do they say?
Discussing Penn National Gaming's acquisition of Barstool Sports, Van Egmond asked what emerging brands he sees as the most exciting online sports betting brands in the US, with varying responses.
He began: “I think there are several, and some of them have filled in the gaps over the past few years. First, you had Void Gaming, but they decided to merge with FanDuel. You had the old Twin Rivers that did a deal with Bally's and transformed their business and subsequently formed a media partnership with Sinclar.
“You certainly have other, smaller casino operators, perhaps without Penn National's national presence, but you have casino groups that are in a couple of states, and casino groups even in one state that are trying to follow the online market. games. . Some people like Parks from Pennsylvania, they have been launched in several states under the Parks brand. But does anyone in Michigan know the Parks? Probably not, so it will be difficult to succeed with this brand.
“There are a few groups like this that are obviously looking for online gaming, but building a national business probably needs a media brand. I think you see companies from Europe - be it 888 or Sports Illustrated They don't have any support so I think they need an American brand. I think there are many other potential contenders and companies are trying to make deals to fill this gap in their brand and in what I would call the 'marketing funnel'."
