Technological advancements offer bettors new possibilities7 October 2020(PRESS RELEASE) -- The increasing popularity of online gambling is attributed to several factors, such as advancements in the field of digital marketing, wider availability of modern technology as well as easy-to-use systems. In recent years, the global online gaming market expanded to represent one of the fastest growing segments of the gambling industry. Recently, the first college sports deal with a gambling company outside of Nevada was implemented. According to a report by Bloomberg Tax, the deal between the University of Colorado and PointsBet—an Australian based bookmaker launching its U.S. headquarters in Denver, is worth USD 1.625 Million, and includes tax-write offs. It is "the latest in an explosion of ad-deals between sportsbooks and teams or leagues, although it's the first collegiate pact of its kind," the report explains. FansUnite Entertainment Inc., DraftKings Inc., Boyd Gaming Corporation, Churchill Downs Incorporated, Penn National Gaming, Inc. Sports betting legalization in the U.S. is a complex issue. It started with New Jersey, which was the first state to make sports betting legal back in 2018. Now, sports betting is legal in some form in 24 states, according to date provided by ESPN. The big prize is, as usual, California, where sports betting is not officially legal yet. Despite legal restrictions, regionally and country wise, in 2018 the market had already produced more than USD 48.9 Billion in worldwide revenue and is projected to expand past USD 134.5 Billion by 2027, according to data provided by Transparency Market Research. The most significant boost to the sports betting segment is attributed to the usage of smartphones, which allow bettors to bet at anytime and anywhere. In addition, innovative technologies such as Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT) and VR are changing the intricacies in many fields including gambling in an online casino. FansUnite Entertainment Inc. announced yesterday breaking news regarding, its latest partnership with Pinnacle Solutions, a global leader in online sports betting. FansUnite is excited to announce its partnership with Pinnacle to incorporate Pinnacle's new esports data and odds feed into its Chameleon Gaming Platform. The partnership is part of its strategic plan to collaborate with the best data providers for its esports betting offering. Through Pinnacle's partnership with GRID Esports, they gain direct access to GRID's contracts with esports leagues and tournaments, making it the best data source for many major esports events. In partnering with Pinnacle, FansUnite can now offer the best odds on esports bets for its Chameleon Gaming Platform partners, giving it a competitive advantage over other turnkey B2B esports betting products.
