The information in the report indicates that sports betting will grow to US$149 billion by 2023 in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The consulting firm said that the amount wagered on sports in the US will grow from US$13 billion to US$149 billion by 2023. The sports betting market will begin to take the shape of financial trading markets. The firm also said that it will have an infinite number of possible wagers extending well beyond the outcome of a game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen fully legalised, institutional investors will participate in the sports betting market and employ sophisticated data sets and AI to gain an edge,\u201d said Activate in the Technology and Media Outlook 2020 report.<\/p>\n<p>Michael J. Wolf, Activate CEO and Co-Founder, said: \u201cThis year, we decided to not only focus this Outlook on the year ahead, but also to take a look back at previous predictions and how they shaped the latest and greatest trends, including the boom in AI, betting, and gaming.\u201d The CEO also added that the forecasts shared by Activate will profoundly impact technology and media industries as they approach 2020 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Activate also analysed eSports in the US and said that the industry will not be going away anytime soon. The firm stated that eSports will soon rival major traditional sports in the US, in both audience size and revenue. These are expected to approach US$7 billion globally by 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) was revoked by the Supreme Court in May 2018. Since then, the US has wagered more than US$10 billion. The American Gaming Association (AGA)\u00a0<strong><em>assessed<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0the country\u2019s sports betting market in August.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, consumers in 11 states have safe, regulated alternatives to the dangerous illegal market,\u201d AGA said about sports betting. \u201cWith Indiana and Oregon on the cusp of launching and five more states plus DC expected to follow suit in the coming months, nearly one-in-three adult Americans may soon live in a state with legal sports betting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsumers are betting responsibly,\u201d the body noted as a major achievement of the sports betting segment in the US. \u201cMore than 90 million Americans identify as current or future sports bettors. Moreover, 88% of adults view betting as an acceptable form of leisure. That\u2019s why responsibility in gaming remains the top priority for the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"author__bio\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p class=\"comment-form-comment\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"comment\">Comment<\/label><br \/>\n<textarea aria-required=\"true\" cols=\"45\" id=\"comment\" name=\"comment\" placeholder=\"Message\" rows=\"8\"><\/textarea><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-author\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"author\">Name<\/label><input aria-required=\"true\" id=\"author\" name=\"author\" placeholder=\"Name...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-email\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"name\">Email<\/label><input aria-required=\"true\" id=\"email\" name=\"email\" placeholder=\"Email...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-url\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"url\">Url<\/label><input id=\"url\" name=\"url\" placeholder=\"Website...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-cookies-consent\"><input id=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" name=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"yes\"\/> <label for=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\">Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.<\/label><\/p>\n<p class=\"form-submit\"><input class=\"submit\" id=\"comment-submit\" name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\"\/> <input id=\"comment_post_ID\" name=\"comment_post_ID\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"8854\"\/> <input id=\"comment_parent\" name=\"comment_parent\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sixth annual report from Activate says the sports betting industry in the US will be worth US$149 billion by 2023.
