Our bet on the future of online gambling

Online Gambling Spot On

Our specialist Adel Koubaa discloses the main boosters of the online gambling industry and what is driving companies’ desire to lay down their cash.

2018 has been an eventful year for the online gambling industry. Local regulations continue to reshape the operating landscape for market players, in turn serving to boost M&A activity as participants scramble for positions. The US market has, over the course of the year, opened up significantly, providing an interesting outlook for 2019. We are very excited to see how the coming year unfolds.

A few of the developments include the rise of on-the-go gambling, the potential emergence of Stockholm as the natural new hub, the blockchain technology revolution and of course the US ruling opening the way for state-wide sports betting. The sky is the limit and big bets are being placed as players continue to utilize M&A to position themselves favorably amid an everchanging market landscape. All in all, an interesting outlook for 2019.
