How Big Is The Market Today?

Since the Supreme Court’s decision overturning PASPA in May 2018, first-wave markets have generated total handle of approximately
$2.51bn. In the chart below, we have set out handle by state. New Jersey has quickly established itself as the single largest market,
accounting for over three-quarters of total handle between June 2018 and February 2019. New Jersey enjoys a combination of
structural advantages–a large adult population, the presence of multiple professional sports teams, online distribution, a multiple-skin
model, and a favorable tax-and-fee regime–that its first-wave peers do not.

How Productive Is The Market Today?

In the chart below, we have used handle-per-adult to measure the relative productivity of first-wave states. The New Jersey market,
buoyed by its uber competitive online sports betting vertical, is dramatically outperforming other newly regulating markets on a handle-
per-adult basis. We note that Delaware and Mississippi have not authorized online sports betting; that West Virginia went live with such
betting in late December (one brand recently halted operations due to a dispute with its supplier, but other brands are preparing to
enter the market); that Pennsylvania is set to go live with online sports betting in 2Q19; and that Rhode Island recently authorized, but
has yet to announce when it will go live with, online sports betting.

How Big Will The Market Be By 2023?

The chart below represents our baseline estimates for the total annual revenue that regulated sports betting would generate in the
U.S. through 2023. Our projection assumes 36 states and Washington, D.C. authorize sports betting by 2023, and that those states
vary on key policy terms such as tax rate, license fee, availability of licenses, and the ability to offer sports betting online.

What Are The Big Threats To Our Projections?

1
Online sports betting is not broadly implemented. Our projections assume that a critical
mass of states implement online sports betting by 2023, and that online sports betting
accounts for approximately three-quarters of total sports betting revenue in each of those
states.

Wire Act havoc. The new interpretation of the Federal Wire Act, if broadly enforced by the

2
U.S. Department of Justice, could bring online sports betting–and potentially any form of
regulated gambling that touches the internet–to an abrupt halt. In the absence of online
sports betting, we estimate that the regulated U.S. sports betting market would reach only a
fraction of its potential size.

3
Industry infighting. Disagreement among industry stakeholders about how best to
implement sports betting could slow or stall legislative progress in states across the country.
A slower-than-anticipated rollout of regulated sports betting could mean a market that, by
2023, is materially smaller than we’ve projected.
Who Wins From Regulated Sports Betting, And When?

In the chart below, relative share of the opportunity refers to how much of the total profit opportunity each stakeholder can realize,
1 being the least and 10 being the greatest. And opportunity velocity refers to how long it will take each stakeholder to realize their
maximum profit potential from regulated sports betting, with 1 being the longest and 10 being the shortest.

Relative Share Of The Opportunity
Who Wins From Regulated Sports Betting, And When?

The benefits of regulated sports betting will not be equally

distributed among stakeholders. Examples Of Relevant Stakeholders

Our general view is that, as a class, media companies have

the fastest and most lucrative path to profiting from legal sports
betting. Marketing is the single greatest cost center for sports-
books, and the intense competition in the early stage of each
market will likely drive inflated marketing spend.

Service suppliers, who have the benefit of moving easily

between markets, platforms, and operators, are also well-
positioned. Platform providers are more subject to pricing
pressure and fragmentation.

Both online gambling brands and fantasy sports brands have

upside, but are hampered by market access costs and
constraints.

While less nimble than their fantasy and online gambling brand
competitors, retail casinos, lotteries, and race tracks will all be
able to rely on the power of their incumbency to win an outsized
share of the market.

Sports leagues and teams will see meaningful benefits that will
be largely ancillary in nature (e.g., increased fan engagement)
and take time to manifest.
