Canada is just days away from the passage of Bill C-218, its sports betting bill that will allow single-event betting. Instead of allowing only parlay betting, bettors will be required to position monetary lines, point spreads, over/under, futures and others The first province to legalize sports betting is Ontario, where grey market position operators are about to waste their entire business with the largest sports betting operators.
In the midst of all this, theScore plans to assert the same market dominance with its sports that it enjoys with its multimedia app. We reached out to Aubrey Levy, senior vice president of marketing and content at theScore, to see what C-218 will mean. for sportsArray theScore and all of Canada.
Canada’s proposed sports betting bill is far from actual approval; however, the province will legalize sports betting separately, in the same way that the state has selected whether or not to legalize sports betting in the United States.
“We know that some provinces have already given indications as to when they plan to spend [live],” Aubrey Levy said. “Specifically, Ontario and British Columbia. “
But the stakes won’t be the same in Canada and the United States. Hockey has a rabid public in Canada that the United States lacks. However, sports can still expect a lot of action in the top 4 sports.
“I think I still see a lot of action in the NFL, a lot of NBA, some kind of MLB, but I see an importance around the NHL and hockey betting in Canada that is unrivaled and, in fact, materially different from the south border. “Levy said.
While Canadian sports betting awaited this bill, the northeastern United States viewed it with a sense of horror. Major markets like New Jersey and Pennsylvania probably won’t have to worry, but states like Vermont and Maine will have to compete with Canada if they choose. to legalize sports betting. Have an effect on U. S. marketsUU. es speculative, but Levy has some possibilities in mind.
“I think there’s definitely a clever argument in that component of the explanation of why those [sports betting] happened so much in Canada because you see states like Michigan and other states bordering the United States connect and see the potential that exists,” Lévy says.
There are many moves between Detroit and Windsor that can also be interesting, but it is in the Northeast of the United States where the largest sports markets are located. Fight to gain ground.
“I don’t necessarily know what that means for the rest of the northeast corridor,” Levy said. “But I think the pull through the border states to date that have been legalized in the U. S. U. S. It’s certainly strongly influenced, I guess, why it’s grown so much north of the border. “
Once the reform of sports betting in Canada is followed, theScore will introduce its bookmaker, theScore Bet. This will be an era of transition for theScore in Canada. But its operations in the U. S. U. S. They gave it a style to get consumers in Canada. that theScore also gives to a bookmaker. theScore used the passage of Bill C-218 in the Senate to celebrate it.
“We established market access at markets and billboards around Toronto in our garden to celebrate this memorable occasion,” levy said. “And I think what we’ll see from us from now until the market opens up is just continued progression and accumulation as we get closer to [launch]. “
This escalation will be different in Canada than in the U. S. U. S. While DraftKings and FanDuel dominate the U. S. market, theScore dominates Canada, providing it with resources to take advantage of the merits it wouldn’t have in the United States.
“Canada is another game because theScore is the third largest sports app in North America,” levy said. “In Canada, we’re number one. And we have a history of logos with our consumers in Ontario and across the country. It’s been 20 to 30 years back to our roots in the television industry, so you’ll see us market in Ontario that we don’t necessarily do in the United States.
For example, theScore does not appear on billboards in the United States. Instead, it ensures that bettors using theScore also use the Score bet. By connecting the two apps, theScore converts TheScore players into theScore bettors. visitor conversion approach, theScore is expected to gain a quick edge in the new Canadian sports betting market.
Throughout our interview, Ontario emerged as the launch site for Score’s Canadian sports betting and garnered disproportionate attention for smart reasons.
“It looks like [Ontario] will be close to immediate action in the sense that they are now broadcast through commentary and are open to advertising from sports punters,” Levy said. “We estimate that Ontario may account for a little less than 50, consistent with penny. “or 40 to forty-five, consistent with the cent of the Canadian gaming market in general. As I said, Ontario is an autonomous province that is equivalent to the fifth largest state in North America.
theScore will be introduced where it makes sense for them to grow. But Ontario is in the attractions of theScore and all other major sports betting operators with the capital to expand internationally.
Given that Ontario is ultimately the leading sports betting operator, it’s worth understanding what the market looks like now and what it will look like after Bill C-218 goes into effect.
“Ontario is an attractive and attractive market,” Levy said. There are grey market operators who are taking action today. It has the Lottery that has its sports product. And then all the European and American players are watching the market. “
But once Ontario legalizes sports and puts its sports industry online, it will be a hotbed of sports.
“Ontario will be very competitive,” Levy said. I hope all the main players show up there. “
With the entry of sports competitors, theScore will have to stand out from the competition. However, theScore has a critical differentiator.
“Our basic confidence is that other people don’t bet in isolation,” Levy said. “They bet as a component of their fan delight that ingesting cellular content is a vital part. So the fact that we already have millions of users using theScore, who are very engaged, is a huge credit to us. And our purpose is not to force them to have to go outdoors to locate a bet. We bring them as close as possible to the bet of their means to make it intuitive in their betting model».
theScore is differentiated by providing sports news and a bookmaker together. This allows bettors to play sports content, tips and game lines in the same virtual ecosystem. These ecosystem users are must-haves in the United States.
“We are not the noisiest or largest marketer in the U. S. But what we’ve noticed is that more than 50% of our user base is a user of the ecosystem,” Levy said. “They use any of our products, whether we purchased them from theScore or theScore Bet or imported them from outside. “
While marketing is different in Canada, the conversion procedure will likely be similar.
Some bettors would possibly see similarities between Barstool Sportsbook and theScore. The two sports combine sports media and sportsArray, but there are vital differences in the way they manipulate their customers.
“Your media game is a little bit different from our media game,” Levy said. “They are heavily influenced by influencers, they have a wide variety of content, they manage many content distribution channels. We are strongly product oriented. Our application is the node of our universe.
Barstool Sportsbook attracts bettors thanks to the content of the Barstool Sports broadcast on the Internet. However, theScore aims for bettors to transfer between its two apps instead of running bettors from all social media platforms. These are two other media styles. However, Aubrey Levy didn’t need us to think that the scope of the score is small.
“Of course, we also have a very large social footprint. Don’t get me wrong. We’re successful at about 90 million people a month,” Levy said.
Currently, theScore focuses on Canadian sports and the emerging Ontario market in particular. However, other Canadian provinces are tracking Ontario’s deployment to see what they need to stay and throw away.
“Most of my mental space in those days is in the existing states, some of the states we’re in, and we make sure we’re stocked and able to transfer when Ontario opens on day one,” Levy said.
Canada is about to fundamentally amend its sports legislation to create a competitive market environment for sportsArray They have noticed that states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey create thriving sports industries, and provinces must be part of the action. it will open in Canada. It will be a worthy competitor of the northern states and a welcome replacement for frustrated hockey enthusiasts in all provinces.
