$150 billion or $67 billion.<\/a> Regardless, there are countless sports fans and bettors of all levels in every potential market, and the goal, according to both legislators and operators, is do it right, rather than to do it fast.\n\n\nIn addition to Nevada, as of December 2018, sports wagering has been legalized in New Jersey, Delaware, Mississippi, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and New Mexico (one tribal casino). Throughout 2019, other states are expected to join the list.\n\n
\nKey Takeaways from the Sports Betting USA Conference:<\/b>\n\n
\nMobile Wagering (especially app-based rather than online) Is the Future<\/b>\nRegardless of how big this market becomes, it was made abundantly clear that the vast majority of the wagering will be done via apps. Echoing the sentiment of many, one U.S. operator said, \u201cYou have to figure out mobile wagering to make money in sports betting.\u201d\n\n
\nIn-Game Betting<\/b>\nThe most significant feature of mobile wagering is In-Game Betting, which is just what it sounds like \u2013 the ability for bettors to make wagers as the game progresses. Those are bets such as which team will score the next touchdown, which batter will get the next hit, how far will Tiger Woods hit his next drive, how many points will LeBron James score in the next quarter, etc.\n\n
\nGeo-Fencing<\/b>\nTo make a bet using a mobile app, players must be in the state in which the app is operated, i.e., no interstate wagering. (In Mississippi, to use a mobile app, players actually must be at the casino to make the bet.)\n\n
\nIt\u2019s Off to a Great Start<\/b>\nNew Jersey reported $25 million in legal wagers in September, and two casinos in Mississippi said the first few months of sports wagering was \u201cfar, far beyond expectations.\u201d Additionally, the bettors skewed younger and tended to be new players, which expanded the casinos\u2019 marketing databases.\n\n
