In this episode of the podcast, the hosts dive into three significant developments in the US online gambling scene. They start by discussing DraftKings' surprising revenue boost in New Jersey for August, suggesting that this spike is likely due to short-term fluctuations and the spending habits of high-stakes VIP players, rather than any major changes in the market. Next, they explore a new live betting feature from Genius Sports that has been integrated into NFL broadcasts, contemplating its novelty and potential impact. Lastly, the conversation turns to the recent exit of GAN’s CEO Dermot Smurfit after 21 years, framing it as a pivotal moment that could signal a major shift in the company’s future direction during its strategic review.
