Thomas Allen: US Online Sports betting & iGaming - Are we entering a bear market?

Morgan Stanley gaming analyst Thomas Allen joins iGaming NEXT co-founder and MD, Pierre Lindh, to discuss the future of iGaming and sports betting investment in the burgeoning United States market.

Managing Director Thomas Allen sets out why he believes that the current share prices of publicly listed gambling firms in the US do not reflect their value in the mid- to long-term, as he expects the market to turn to profit by 2025.

The pair discuss the challenges faced so far by operators in the market – and how they will be mitigated moving forward, allowing the market to turn to profit and investments in the sector to pay off.
