Key Market Trends
Daily Fantasy Sports to Dominate the Market
- Though it is still an emerging industry in the region, according to the American Gaming Association legal sports betting has already seen more than USD 17 billion in wages and USD 1.2 billion in revenue, in just 14 states where sports betting is legal, and data is available since the Supreme Court reversed a decades-long federal ban in June 2018. Companies like Virginia-based company Eaglestrike Fantasy Sports have fantasy kiosks in sports bars across five states, and hosts live fantasy competitions.
- According to Vox Media, LLC., The DFS industry is currently dominated by two companies namely DraftKings and FanDuel who account for more than 90% of market share in the United States. While FanDuel was one of the chief movers in the DFS space and the clear business leader through early 2015, DraftKings has outdone it for the No. 1 spot, with Yahoo Daily Fantasy and FantasyDraft vying for No. 3.
- The Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) states that the daily Fantasy Sports generated USD 2.91 billion in 2018 in the United States. The entire market was worth USD 7.22 billion in the same year. According to New York State Gaming Commission, in March 2018, total entry fees/handle from daily fantasy sports in the United States amounted to USD 236.51 million, thus presenting lucrative opportunities for the market vendors.
- While daily fantasy football has forever been king in DFS, daily fantasy basketball has become much bigger in recent years. A fantasy based on the NBA is much like it is for the NFL. The legitimacy of daily fantasy sports is the largest issue, currently, in the region. In most utmost jurisdictions globally, DFS is recognized a gambling product and needs a gaming license to run. In the North America, the legality of DFS is seldom dismal.
