The online betting segment is predominantly rising with the online sports category, especially in football events, such as the FIFA World Cup and the European championships. Many online sports betting companies are sponsoring different teams as a part of their marketing initiatives by acquiring or merging with several companies for strategic expansions.

North America Remains the Fastest-growing Region

The current legislative framework for online betting in the United States allows only bookmakers licensed in Nevada, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey to operate legally, as these are the three states where online betting is regulated.

Pennsylvania is the fourth and biggest state to legalize and regulate online gambling. There are various types of online casinos, sportsbooks, and online sports betting apps live in New Jersey. New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement oversees and regulates New Jersey’s online gaming sites. It handles site licensing, tax revenue collection, and game testing and approval.

New Jersey is currently the largest market for regulated online gambling in the United States. Canada is largely an unregulated country in terms of online gaming. At the same time, Mexico is reviewing its gambling laws intending to regulate the online gambling sector to align with the rest of the nation’s gambling industry.

Therefore, the increasing regularization of online gambling in the North American countries and their respective states is expected to drive the market further.

“This is a hard time for all our people, as we say goodbye to colleagues who have played an important role in our journey across recent years.”

The announcement follows on from the recent news that LiveScore Malta Limited (part of LiveScore Group) is to withdraw its LiveScore Bet brand from the Netherlands following recent government tax increases in the market. The announcement includes those impacted by this. There will be no other customer impact in respect of any of the remaining LiveScore, LiveScore Bet or Virgin Bet sites globally.
