Fireside chat summary
13 Nov, 2026Introduction and agenda
Brandt Montour opened the discussion with CEO Dan Taylor and CFO Rob Coldrake, inviting audience questions.
The conversation covered four priorities: defend U.S. leadership, pursue prediction markets, grow international operations, and simplify the organization.
Background and experience of the speaker
Taylor said he had spent more than 11 years with the business and had previously run its international operations.
He cited experience across sports betting and iGaming markets, including the U.K., Italy, Central and Eastern Europe, Australia, and Turkey.
Current industry trends
U.S. sportsbook penetration reaches about half of states and iGaming about 10%; management sees room for state expansion, greater player frequency, and higher ARPU.
U.S. competition has intensified through higher marketing and promotional spend; sportsbook market growth and iGaming growth have been below earlier expectations or are moderating.
International operations are gaining share in the U.K., Italy, and Central and Eastern Europe; management cited double-digit growth in Central Europe and a 5%-10% international growth range.
Management expects U.S. iGaming to hold share in 2027 amid sustained competition and new entrants, while hoping for state expansion to support longer-term growth.
