| Better Collective strikes deals for US sports betting sites
|
| Better Collective has acquired the assets of Florida-based sports betting websites Vegas Insider and Scores and Odds in a $20m cash deal. "With the acquisition of the two mega-brands, VegasInsider.com and ScoresAndOdds.com, Better Collective is paving the way to expand the position as the market leading sports betting information company to include the US," Jesper Søgaard, chief executive and co-founder of Better Collective said. Currently the two websites, which attracted more than 15m unique visits per month during the National Football League's (NFL) 2018/2019 season, operate on a business model based on the sale of betting tips and brand advertising. However, under Better Collective, the system will move toward an affiliate marketing model. The change in business model will involve "a technical and commercial overhaul" of the VegasInsider.com and ScoresAndOdds.com websites in order to facilitate regulated affiliate marketing.

| Mississippi sports betting market recovers in June
|
| Revenue from Mississippi's regulated sports betting market increased by 35.4% month-on-month in June, despite the state seeing a 12.7% decline in amounts wagered. Sports betting revenue amounted to $1.6m (£1.3m/€1.4m), compared to $1.2m in May, but the collective handle for the state's central, coastal and northern regions slipped from $17.4m to $15.2m, according to figures from the Mississippi Gaming Commission. Coastal casinos were once again the main source of income, generating $709,901 from $9.0m in wagers – a win percentage for the casinos of 7.90%. Revenue was up month-on-month from $626,283 in May, but wagers were down from $11.0m. Baseball remained the most popular sport to bet on at coastal casinos – mainly due to North America's Major League Baseball season currently being in full swing – with consumers spending $5.8m on betting. Basketball followed with $1.5m in total wagers for the month. Read the full story on iGB North America. Image: Ken Lund
