EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The global legalized sports betting and fantasy market has enjoyed
strong growth over the last year, driven primarily by an increasing
number of US States legalizing sports betting or reducing restrictions
on the type and method of bets (e.g. allowing mobile and in-play “prop”
betting).
Since the US Supreme Court struck down the Professional and
Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) on May 14, 2018, the options
for sports betting across the US have boomed. However, the US sports
betting market still has a long way to run in realizing its full potential.
Approximately half of US states are yet to legalize sports betting,
including the three most populous states (California, Texas and Florida)
which alone represent a combined market of 90 million people.
Even the effects of COVID-19 did little to dampen the growth trajectory
