DraftKings CEO Jason Robins thinks that in 2025, online gambling laws may make major strides in a number of US states. Robins expressed his optimism regarding the future of iGaming regulation, specifically for online casinos, during his speech at The Craig-Hallum Online Gaming Conference.
A Shifting Perspective on Online Gaming
Robins highlighted the evolving US market, which has proven skeptics wrong by embracing online gaming. Initially, critics argued that gambling culture in the US was less ingrained compared to countries like the UK, where online betting is a cultural norm. However, Robins countered this perspective, stating that the US leads globally in entertainment spending per capita, which positions it well for sustained iGaming growth.
He noted that while the UK pioneered online betting, the US market benefitted from its late entry. Companies like DraftKings leveraged advanced technologies and lessons from international markets, allowing for rapid expansion. Robins suggested the US could eventually outpace the UK in per capita online gaming participation, driven by its vast entertainment-oriented consumer base.
Election cycles frequently impede legislative development, according to Robins. However, a number of states have the chance to proceed with iGaming legislation in 2025 without being sidetracked by election-related issues. According to him, the next phase will be crucial for the development and market expansion of online casinos.
Additionally, Robins highlighted how competition promotes innovation and improves client experiences. He thinks DraftKings is well-positioned to benefit from a developing iGaming market thanks to its capacity for innovation and adaptation.
With legislative developments propelling additional expansion for operators and expanding access for players across the country, Robins is optimistic that 2025 will be a game-changing year for online gaming in the US.
