Fanatics, the Michael Rubin-founded sports merchandise company, acquired the U.S. operations of PointsBet after a several-year pursuit of an entry to the sports betting market. "These are partnerships that we've been building up for years long before online sports betting was legal in the states." And oh, by the way, you're spending a lot of money making sure that again, you can responsibly bring consumers to your platform," Howe said.

The AI arms raceGambling companies overall are racing to figure out how to use artificial intelligence to supercharge their businesses. She sees potential for AI to help spot problem gambling behavior, as well. IGaming legislation could gain steam in 2024The pace of legal online casino-style gambling, or iGaming, regulation has moved at a glacial pace in the US. It's been a big obstacle for gambling operators because iGaming is generally a more profitable business than sports betting. Many in the industry are hoping for a domino effect when the next significant state legalizes iGaming that spurs others to follow.

In a room full of executives in the sports or gambling industries, she's often one of very few women. But Howe has the spotlight, and a megaphone, as the chief executive of the nation's market leader in sports betting. But in many conversations — off the stage and behind the scenes — it's clear Howe stands as a role model to other women in sports and gambling. "We're working to make sure that we're not just hiring [women], but we're finding them, we're training them, we're providing opportunities for women. Jessica Gelman, who co-founded the MIT Sloan conference, is the CEO of Kraft Analytics Group, a company that provides sports analytics to teams like the New England Patriots.

New York CNN —With more states legalizing gambling on sports, Super Bowl LVII will probably be the biggest event for the industry ever. But how will casino and online/mobile sports betting companies stand out in an increasingly crowded field? “We have prepared for this Super Bowl like never before,” Greenblatt said. That’s more than double the number of wagers on last year’s Super Bowl. That’s different from 2021 when customer growth was being rewarded.”That being said, both DraftKings and FanDuel still plan to advertise during this year’s Super Bowl.

☆ FanDuel's Amy Howe tries to balance pragmatism, humility, and profitability — all while being a trailblazer in a male-dominated industry

As the CEO of FanDuel, Amy Howe accomplished a feat this year that so far no other US sports-betting platform has been able to achieve: profitability. Seeking constant innovationThis year Howe launched FanDuel TV, a 24-hour television network, which features a mix of studio programming and live sports. She also sealed deals with the WNBA and the New York Yankees, making FanDuel the official sportsbook partner and official daily fantasy partner for the league and team. At the SBC Summit North America trade show and conference this year, she described the female market as an "untapped opportunity" and detailed a number of FanDuel's initiatives to bring more women bettors into the fold. "We're always a little bit paranoid about making sure that we can continue to maintain that position," Howe told Insider last year.

Insider's second-annual list of the Most Transformative CEOs features three executives who are leading innovation in their industries. These CEOs are devising new ways to serve a range of interests, including clients, employees, and investors. At FanDuel, Howe has brought more women into the industry. ROSALIND BREWER, the CEO of Walgreens Boots AllianceRosalind Brewer, the CEO of Walgreens Boots Alliance. BRIAN NICCOL, the CEO of ChipotleBrian Niccol, the CEO of Chipotle.

The remarks go against expectations in the gaming industry that FanDuel will cede some of its dominance as new players work to grab a bigger share of the sports betting market. Rubin predicts sports betting and Fanatics' other business segments "could be $8 billion, even in the next decade, in profits." And FanDuel boasts a 42% market share, based on published reports by state gaming regulators. Of the 59 sports betting operators in the U.S. in October, only three had double-digit market share. "Almost 90% of the operators have a sub-2% share of the market," Howe said.

[1/2] People make their bets at the FANDUEL sportsbook during the Super Bowl LIII in East Rutherford, New Jersey, U.S., February 3, 2019. REUTERS/Eduardo MunozDUBLIN, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Flutter (FLTRF.L) sees revenue at its rapidly growing and market leading U.S. Fanduel business jumping by 4.5 to 5-times over the long term, the world's largest online betting firm said on Wednesday. Flutter, which upgraded its full-year revenue guidance for Fanduel to between $2.95 billion to $3.2 billion last week, told investors that it expects the overall value of the U.S. sports betting and online gaming market to rise to $40.5 billion by 2030 from $9 billion currently. "We do believe that we'll be on that high end of the range - five times," Fanduel Chief Executive Amy Howe said at an investor day, adding that Fanduel was "incredibly confident" of turning a profit for the first time in 2023.

The data are limited to base salaries and US-based jobs for visa-seeking employees. Still, sports betting is as much about sports as it is gambling and tech — growing industries known for high-paying jobs. The data included five US sports betting companies: BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, Penn Interactive, and Rush Street Interactive. It included salaries for jobs such as a data engineer at DraftKings that would make $97,000 per year or more and a sports trading senior manager at FanDuel that would earn $130,000. A FanDuel software engineer based in New York would make $128,440, which is in the range of what TikTok has offered software engineers, the data shows.
