According to US investment bank Jefferies’ latest report, the US online gambling sector highlighted a record-breaking February for revenue, which saw Flutter and Entain lead the way for significant growth.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Jefferies say that the US iGaming market broke records in February, with gross gaming revenue (GGR) reaching $649million, a 31% increase from 2023.<\/p>\n The growth was led by strong performances from FanDuel who are owned by Flutter and BetMGM who are joint-owned by Entain and MGM Resorts. DraftKings also had a huge month.<\/p>\n Flutter and Entain are popular bookmakers in the UK, running Paddy Power\/Sky Bet and Ladbrokes respectively, with DraftKings seen as a rival.<\/p>\n FanDuel kept up their strong reputation in the US market, as they were the leading iGaming brand for a fourth month in a row, despite competition heating up.<\/p>\n Online sports betting in general saw a big increase of 32% year-on-year, and a 33% rise in GGR across 19 states that published their data.<\/p>\n Despite the Super Bowl outcome favoring bettors over sportsbooks themselves, Jefferies noted that the revenue figures were impressive.<\/p>\n They also reported that FanDuel are leading in market share, with DraftKings and BetMGM just behind after a successful first quarter of 2024 for online sports betting and gross gaming revenue.<\/p>\n Flutter and Entain remain well thought of in the stocks world too, as Jefferies maintain a “buy” rating on both, with 1,140p and 19,500p price target respectively.<\/p>\nFlutter And Entain Top Charts In February’s Online Gambling Growth<\/h2>\n
