Popularity of UK gambling operators targeting the US

A number of British gambling operators have started to target the US after the sports betting market opened up in the US. This is a result of a recent ruling by the US Supreme Court. The Court removed a long-year ban on sports betting services, which has enabled gambling operators to take advantage of accessing the sports betting market overseas.

UK gambling companies expanding outside of the country

Another reason why more and more British gambling firms are looking to expand elsewhere is due to stricter regulations being enforced in the UK on the gambling industry furthermore, with increasing uncertainty regarding the domestic market, operators are deciding to look further afield for growth option out of the UK.

Whilst many companies are looking to Europe for expansion opportunities, the most popular and prominent market seems to be the US, given that the country has very recently liberalised the sports betting industry.
