BettingUSA report: education key to unlocking US sports betting market

Expanding Online, Mobile Gambling Options to Underlie Revenue Gains

 

Operators, suppliers and regulators share their thoughts on where the industry is at three years after PASPA was repealed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on how they can be overcome and what lessons can be learned from the progress made in the three years since PASPA was repealed.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:

“Education is a big obstacle in every state you launch. And it really plays itself out because sports betting is not a national opportunity; it’s very much state-by-state. It’s an entirely new process and each time you need to make tweaks to appeal to the consumer. It’s always going to rear its head, too.” – Patrick Eichner, PointsBet

“As 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.” – Daniel Graetzer, Carousel Group

“American 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.” – Simon Nobel, Champion Sports

“The market for sports betting is significant and in high demand. It would be foolish to think that we shouldn’t 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.” – 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.

The full report can be found here.

Mike Murphy, Founder of BettingUSA.com, said: “We created this report to gauge where the legal sports betting industry is at three years after PASPA was first repealed.

“While 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.

“From 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.

“This 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.”

1/ST and Goodwood Racecourse announce Group 1 pathways between the United Kingdom and North America

Published

on

1/ST, North America’s preeminent Thoroughbred racing and pari-mutuel wagering company, and Goodwood Racecourse, one of the United Kingdom’s leading racecourses, today announce a new initiative that will see a reciprocal partnership between 1/ST-owned racecourses in North America and Goodwood Racecourse in the United Kingdom.

This exciting new partnership will see horses gain automatic entry following success at the Pegasus World Cup meeting at Gulfstream Park on January 25, and at Goodwood Racecourse’s world-famous five-day festival, the Qatar Goodwood Festival presented by Visit Qatar.

The Pegasus World Cup Turf winner in 2025 will be granted automatic entry to the 2025 running of the Qatar Sussex Stakes. Likewise, the victor of the 2025 Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf will gain automatic entry to the Qatar Nassau Stakes in 2025.

Additionally, the winner of this year’s £1m, Group 1 Qatar Sussex Stakes will gain automatic entry to the Pegasus World Cup Turf in 2026 and the winner of the Group 1 Qatar Nassau Stakes will gain automatic entry to the Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf in 2026.

This new partnership will create an easily accessible pathway for horses to compete both in North America and the United Kingdom and help to encourage top-tier racehorses to travel and increase international participation at both fixtures – while also bolstering elite fields for global audiences and deeper fan engagement.

Aidan Butler, President of 1/ST, 
said: “Thanks again to our friends at Goodwood Racecourse as our partnership enters its second year. We can’t wait to see how our Pegasus World Cup Turf winners fare on the other side of the pond and look forward to welcoming the victors of the Qatar Sussex Stakes and Qatar Nassau Stakes back to Gulfstream Park in late January 2026 for one of the most lucrative racedays on the East Coast.

“These reciprocal pathways mark the latest strides in 1/ST’s bid to broaden the appeal and international participation in the world’s major races. We’ve already seen such incentives reap immediate rewards when Crimson Advocate won at Royal Ascot in 2023, having punched her automatic spot via our Royal Palm juvenile series at Gulfstream Park. Now, Miami can hopefully work its magic again with the Qatar Goodwood Festival!”

Edward Arkell, Director of Racing at Goodwood Racecourse, added: “We are thrilled to announce this fantastic new initiative, and I would like to thank 1/ST for their enthusiasm and support. By pairing two of our most prestigious races with a pair of turf races at the Pegasus World Cup meeting, we are confident that we have unlocked a well-scheduled gateway.

“This partnership also highlights the importance of collaborating with the best horseracing in the World and allows us the opportunity to showcase the obvious benefits of working alongside the North American horseracing circuit.”
