BettingUSA report: education key to unlocking US sports betting market

Operators, suppliers and regulators share their thoughts on where the industry is at three years after PASPA was repealed
BettingUSA.com has produced a special report looking at how the industry can maximise the full potential of legal sports betting in the USA.
The nline and mobile sports betting comparison site has spoken to operators, suppliers and regulators to determine the key challenges the industry has faced in the early days.
These industry leaders have also provided their thoughts on how they can be overcome and what lessons can be learned from the progress made in the three years since PASPA was repealed.
Ultimately, these experts and BettingUSA.com believe education, technology and responsible gambling will be the key to the USA becoming the largest legal sports betting market in the world.
Here are some key insights from the report:
âEducation is a big obstacle in every state you launch. And it really plays itself out because sports betting is not a national opportunity; itâs very much state-by-state. Itâs an entirely new process and each time you need to make tweaks to appeal to the consumer. Itâs always going to rear its head, too.â â Patrick Eichner, PointsBet
âAs the competition is moving at lightning pace, we are doubling down on product this year, with a significant investment into growing our UX, product and development teams as we grow from a single state operator to a national, multi-state one.â â Daniel Graetzer, Carousel Group
âAmerican sports are perfect for in-play betting, and this combined with the reams of data that is available means that players will quickly come to expect these markets and odds, so long as the enabling legislation in each state allows for them to be offered remotely.â â Simon Nobel, Champion Sports
âThe market for sports betting is significant and in high demand. It would be foolish to think that we shouldnât be as serious about sports betting as we are with casino gaming. Just like casinos, sportsbooks must be tightly regulated to ensure that there is integrity in the system.â â Douglas Harbach, Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board
The report also provides insight into the role that media companies will play in the sports betting space and how affiliates are helping to educate players about legal online sports betting.

Mike Murphy, Founder of BettingUSA.com, said: âWe created this report to gauge where the legal sports betting industry is at three years after PASPA was first repealed.
âWhile tremendous progress has been made to date, it is clear the sector is not without its teething issues especially when it comes to technology, regulation, safe gaming and education.
âFrom the experts we have spoken to, it seems these challenges can be overcome and if we are able to do so, the US will undoubtedly become the largest legal betting market in the world.
âThis report provides tremendous insight from those at the cutting edge of the industry and their thoughts will undoubtedly shape the direction we take over the next three years.â
