Effort and Ingenuity – The Road to Consolidation

18 November 2016, 11:50AM - 12:00PM, CET

Since 2014, the Online gambling industry has seen a significant number of M&A transactions. However, the pace of consolidation is not set to slow down. The consolidation trends are led by the need to increase the scale to fund rising costs arising from tax changes and compliance costs, access to technology and mobile penetration as well as competitive pressures and the drive for market share.Territorial expansion is also a factor. European markets are growing at a slower rate but the North American market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 21% between 2015 and 2018. Whilst the increasingly legalised nature of the online gambling sector is attracting Private Equity funds with business models built around consolidation.
