Earnings+More - 🌊 The micro wave
We're waxing down our surfboards. Hard Rock Bet is all about fun and innovation. With a top ranked sportsbook & casino product, unique access to US states, and a globally recognized brand, join our team to help shape the online experiences that millions love. We’re currently seeking:
Wave of the futureSurf’s up: Microbetting could be worth over $2.8bn or ~10% of total GGR in the US by 2030 as operator focus on in-play betting encourages an acceleration in growth, suggested the analysts at JMP.
Service game: Microbetting has been the subject of intense activity in the past few months led by the news in late August that DraftKings had bought the 85% of the shares it didn’t already own in supplier Simplebet for up to $195m.
Market fit: The JMP analysts suggested that, unlike core iCasino players who tend towards older age groups, microbetting has “proven to skew younger,” more in line with the core demo for sports bettors.
Change in focus: The JMP team suggested the rise of microbetting would come as the “parlay adoption story” starts to decelerate and as operators look to diversify into other areas of betting to increase their share of the customers’ wallet.
🌊 Microbetting tipped to go large by JMP Metric’s new multi-tenant sportsbook technology provides a shortcut to crafting a bespoke, premium sportsbook from the ground up, complete with operator-owned IP and built on highly performant technology, free of technical debt. Our philosophy is to deeply understand our partner’s business and treat it with similar care to our own. We aim to collaborate with ambitious brands to help them realise their long-term growth potential in regulated markets, globally. For sports betting businesses looking to finally take control of their sportsbook, there is no faster route to competing on product and price. To find out more, visit www.metricgaming.com +MoreBetting exchange Sporttrade has received a significant boost after announcing that SIG Sports Investments, an offshoot of the Susquehanna financial group, has become a strategic investor in the company. DraftKings has shuttered its UK-facing DFS operation as of last Friday with the company saying the move was about focusing on growth in other markets. The business was launched in 2016. The week aheadTop of the bill at G2E this week are some of the biggest CEO names in the sector, including Bill Hornbuckle from MGM Resorts and Peter Jackson, his equivalent at Flutter Entertainment, sharing the stage with Contessa Brewer from MSNBC on Tuesday.
Penn in hand: Analysts at Truist noted that Penn Entertainment will be holding an investor meeting today, Monday. “We get the sense investors understand the retail casino thesis for Penn while the online roadmap should be the core focus, thus bridging a path to deleveraging the balance sheet,” the team said. Blow up: Recall, the Tropicana will be imploded in the early hours on Wednesday. Kings of the wild frontierMid-eastern promise: A ballooning share price caused by investors betting that Macau stocks will be key beneficiaries from the Chinese government’s attempt to pump-prime the economy could yet enjoy a further leg up after Wynn Resorts confirmed on Friday it had received a gaming license from the Emirate.
🐪 Wynn Resorts’ share price in the last month Wynn said in a press release late on Friday that it had been awarded the first commercial gaming operator’s license in the UAE by the country’s General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority. The authority previously awarded a lottery license.
Stimulated: However, it is the news from Macau that has catapulted Wynn into the $10bn+ club.
Shares watchMa Folie Française: La Française des Jeux may have completed its takeover of Kindred last Friday but that didn’t do anything to stop its 9%+ slide for the week, caused by fears over the French government considering a hike in gaming taxes.
Evolution suffered a 3% decline this week on fears that the strike at its facilities in Georgia reportedly resulted in the company laying off 1,000+ staff. In a note last week, the analysts at Jefferies lowered Q3 revenue estimates to reflect the likely disruption. Light & Wonder saw its share price climb over 4% on Friday, leaving it in positive territory for the week, after CEO Matt Wilson released a video explainer for what was happening with regard to its now contentious Dragon Train slot game.

By the numbersESPN Bet momentumYou’re welcome: If Penn’s strategy for ESPN Bet is to create a new cadre of sports bettors from the wider ESPN ecosystem, then it will be encouraged by the data from Jefferies’ latest OSB survey, which showed it is to an extent successfully cross-selling sports betting to a new audience. Tell me what you want: But if the aim of the project is to take significant share from the market leaders DraftKings and FanDuel, then it will be disappointed with a range of focus group findings that “skew negatively” for the ESPN Bet brand.
Mis-skew: However, in the focus group findings, it found the ESPN Bet offering deficient in terms of markets, a UI and UX that was “significantly” behind the market leaders and, while promos were initially attractive, the majority of the group had returned to their original sportsbooks.
More numbersKentucky: OSB GGR in the regulated market’s first year of operation came in at $272m from handle that hit $2.39bn. The state collected $37.7m of tax revenue.
