CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday told investors there's a buying opportunity in online sports betting company DraftKings as it experiences a pullback during NFL playoff season. "Now that DraftKings has pulled back a bit from its highs over the past month-and-a-half, and after we saw the incredible public interest in the first weekend of the NFL playoffs, I'm feeling like you're getting a great buying opportunity in this stock," Cramer said. Cramer explained his bull thesis for DraftKings, starting by saying the company has the most market share in the sector. Cramer noted that DraftKings has been growing despite not being able to do business in California and Texas where sports betting is illegal. This stock also tends to do well during the NFL post-season, Cramer said.

BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt knows Fanatics and ESPN Bet are looking to eat his lunch. However, it has lost some ground, hovering around 15% market share in the third quarter compared to about 20% a year earlier. And a new crop of competitors including Fanatics and Penn Entertainment's ESPN Bet are vying for its position. "Everyone's kind of fighting for that third and fourth spot," Macquarie gambling analyst Chad Beynon told Business Insider in September. Online casino gaming, also known as igaming, is legal in only a handful of US states and has expanded slower than legal sports betting.

Currently, only six states offer internet casino gambling: New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Michigan and West Virginia. (Nevada offers internet poker but not online casino games; Rhode Island has passed an online casino bill, but it is not expected to go into effect until March 2024.) One of those states may be Indiana, where an online casino bill died in February due in large part to fears that it would hurt the state’s existing physical casinos. Jane Bokunewicz, director of the Lloyd Levenson Institute at Stockton University, which studies the Atlantic City gambling industry, noted that in most internet gambling states, brick-and-mortar gambling revenue has grown alongside that of internet betting, although at a slower pace. “Casino revenue after the pandemic has stabilized, and online revenue is setting new records."

A Wisconsin teenager pleaded guilty Wednesday in New York federal court to conspiracy in connection with a scheme to hack user accounts at the DraftKings fantasy sports betting website and with others steal about $600,000 from its customers. The Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office said Garrison on Nov. 18 last year launched a so-called "credential stuffing attack" on the website. Hackers in such attacks use stolen user credentials obtained from past data breaches to gain authorized access to user accounts. "Garrison and others successfully accessed approximately 60,000 accounts at the Betting Website," the office said. Garrison, who has been free on $100,000 bond since his arrest in May, is scheduled to be sentenced in Manhattan federal court on Jan. 16.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Five Atlantic City casinos and a horse racing track are forfeiting over $77,000 worth of money won by underage gamblers or those who had placed themselves on a list to be excluded from gambling activities. The forfeited money will go to the state to be used for programs to treat compulsive gambling, as well as on programs benefiting senior citizens and those with disabilities. The Ocean Casino Resort forfeited over $7,500; Bally's forfeited over $5,600; Freehold Raceway forfeited over $4,400; the Golden Nugget forfeited over $4,200; and Harrah's forfeited nearly $900.

There are several opportunities over the next month for investors to cash in on a long-standing trend by buying options, according to Goldman Sachs. "We find that call buying around analyst days has been a systematically profitable option buying strategy. The reason the strategy works is that there appears to be an upward bias to share price movement after analyst days that is not priced in to the options market, Goldman said. "Company managements take the opportunity of analyst days to review recent performance, layout strategic priorities, provide/update forward guidance, reveal long-term targets etc. Despite the significance of analyst days, we also observe that the options market tends to underprice volatility around analyst days," the note said.

FanDuel parent Flutter came out swinging Thursday, insisting the online gaming platform is the market leader in sports betting in the United States after DraftKings last week boasted it had taken over the top slot. Even as Jackson projected confidence in the company's market position, FanDuel's revenues failed to meet Wall Street expectations in the third quarter. In the U.S., the company's revenue grew by 20% year over year to $820 million, and average monthly players grew by 38%. Flutter shares plummeted after the company reported disappointing third-quarter results. It did not detail earnings results, but reiterated its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance of $180 million in the U.S.

The daily-fantasy-sports company, which European gambling giant Flutter Entertainment had acquired, was racing to introduce its "same-game parlay" to the US. The same-game parlay, a phrase FanDuel coined, has since caught fire, meshing well with the high-scoring, stat-driven, athlete-personality focus of US sports — and propelled FanDuel to the forefront of the betting market. "The same-game parlay was the right product in the right market at exactly the right time." Every sports-betting operator, from DraftKings to newcomer Fanatics, now has or is building its version of the same-game parlay. After the NBA resumed play in July 2020, the same-game parlay grew from 5% to 10% of FanDuel's bets, Farren said.
