Transcript

00:00We have the sports betting app downloads through week 14 of the NFL season.

00:05So to be clear on that, folks, these are sports betting apps that you can download on your phone and bet on.

00:10No surprise, number one and number two, very close that they always have been, FanDuel and DraftKings.

00:16But Sam, the Hard Rock app is number three and BetMGM and everybody else is after that.

00:23How did the Hard Rock app jump over all of these other options?

00:27How did the Hard Rock app jump over all of these other operators?

00:31Am I confused here that they're only in Florida?

00:34So are these just all people in Florida that have jumped over everybody else all over the country?

00:39Is the Hard Rock app available in other states that I'm not aware of?

00:43Yeah, the Hard Rock app is available in eight states.

00:46And like you rightly point out, Craig, a lot of other apps are available and a lot more.

00:50BetMGM notably is in 19 states.

00:53In all season, it's been neck and neck back and forth with BetMGM and Hard Rock.

00:56But what this really shows is being the only game in town in Florida,

01:01which is the largest sports betting state at 6.5 percent of the population,

01:05has been really key for Hard Rock while you have other companies kind of struggling to keep up.

01:12You have the proliferation of daily fantasy sports apps as well, which have each surpassed one million in downloads.

01:19They would be about six or seven on this list ahead of new sports betting apps like Fanatics and ESPN Bet.

01:25But, yeah, we've seen Hard Rock be really successful in Florida in their first NFL season of being the only game in town.

01:32I would expect those numbers to continue to grow.

01:35Notably, Hard Rock has also said we're not entirely opposed to having other apps in the market as well.

01:42Obviously, if they're doing so well with just being in Florida right now,

01:45they'd want to make sure they really have a good deal and really monetize that well going forward.

01:50But what it shows is sports betting is obviously really popular in Florida, as you know.

01:54And it's interesting to see BetMGM kind of try to play catch up here while everybody else falls down.

01:59I'd credit BetMGM for their technological advancements that they made ahead of this NFL season.

02:05And like you alluded to earlier, DraftKings and FanDuel, no surprise at the top,

02:09they make up about 57 percent of the market combined, if you do the math.
