DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG) announced today its providing private investment in public equity (PIPE) to Horizon Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:HZAC) the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merging with online ticket marketplace Vivid Seats.

Todd Boehlys Eldridge Industries, an affiliate of Horizons sponsor, Horizon Sponsor, LLC, is entering into the agreement with DraftKings. Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Boehly is the founder of Horizon Acquisition and will serve as a director on the Vivid Seats board. The exact amount of DraftKings PIPE wasnt revealed.

The investment will be part of the previously announced PIPE financing for the transaction, with DraftKings assuming a portion of Eldridges commitment, according to a statement.

When Horizon and Vivid Seats announced merger plans in April, the transaction was valued at $1.95 billion, including $769 million in gross proceeds to be directed to the internet ticket broker. Of that $769 million, $225 million was slated to be PIPE from Boehlys Eldridge Industries and Fidelity. DraftKings is picking up a portion of that tab.

Through the PIPE commitment, DraftKings is getting an asset that could appreciate.

As part of the investment, Eldridge has agreed to provide DraftKings the option to sell its Vivid Seats shares to Eldridge on the business day following the first anniversary of Horizon and Vivid Seats business combination closing at price of $9.77 per share, conditioned upon DraftKings continuously holding the Vivid Seats shares until such date, according to the statement.

News of DraftKings investment sent the SPAC shares higher by 11.5 percent in midday trading on volume thats already more than triple the daily average. That indicates that while a slew of de-SPACed companies are tumbling this year, the DraftKings name carries plenty of cache in the investment community.

Vivid Seats merger with Horizon Acquisition is expected to close on Oct. 18, with the target making its debut as a standalone public company the following day. It will trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker SEAT.

DraftKings cofounder and CEO Jason Robins is an adviser to another Boehly SPAC Horizon Acquisition Corp. II (NYSE: HZON).

Earlier this year, rumors swirled that the blank-check company was close to a merger with sports betting data provider Sportradar (NASDAQ:SRAD). But that deal fell apart, prompting Sportradar to pursue a traditional initial public offering.

DraftKings itself came to market via a blank-check merger. Horizon Acquisition Corp. II has yet to announce another merger partner, and it has about a year left to do so, or risk liquidation.

In 2017, Boehlys Eldridge Industries made a $100 million investment in DraftKings.

The Churn Rate metric will allow you to track the players behavior and respond quickly if he ceases to be active.

Also, thanks to BI analysis, partners connecting to the platform will be able to understand what traffic they buy for their product. To date, the identification of low-quality traffic is an acute issue, and therefore more than 10 BI analysts have worked to create a system that would qualitatively solve this problem. The DUXPlatform team has taken care of the analytics tools that will help partners evaluate the profitability of their work, which is the most important indicator of any project.

Among many other things the creators of DUXPlatform are ready to provide partners with the expertise of CRM, VIP, Antifraud, Support, Legal, PSP, and BI departments that help in operating and solving any possible tasks for the product.

NineCasino is the first DUXPlatform-based product with a Curacao license and more than 3,000 games. Several currencies are available on the product in one account at once, as well as daily cashbacks for all players up to 100%!

5 months ago we decided to launch our own online casino brand, and for a very long time we were looking for partners who we could trust. When we found the DUXPlatform solution, we were pleasantly surprised by the flexibility and power of the platform. We are grateful to the DUXPlatform team for their prompt response and the opportunity to improve the product based on our wishes said the CEO of NineCasino, Michael Newell.

We are glad that the NineCasino team trusted us and launched our first product on the platform. We are glad to cooperate with such a strong traffic expert, because attracting traffic is the only task of our partners. We always take on all other tasks! CMO of DUXGroup Edward Swan.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HowToBet.com has released its latest overview of betting trends for the 2021 to 2022 NFL Season. By analyzing a multitude of data points, HowToBet.com provides its audience with expert insight on how to bet on the current NFL landscape and where participants should focus their efforts.

In its annual study entitled Americans' 2021 NFL Betting Plans, the American Gaming Association reported that a record 45.2 million Americans will wager on the 2021 NFL Season. This is a 36% increase from the year prior. The same study showed that 19.5 million will place a bet online, up 73% from 2020. 14.6 million will participate in a paid fantasy contest or other type of pool competition (a 69% year-over-year increase), while 10.5 million will place a bet at a physical casino sportsbook and 6.7 million will place a bet with a bookie.

"We are excited to see numbers go up year-after-year, with more states opening their doors to legal and regulated gambling," said Cristian Campan, product ownerof HowToBet.com

"The number of Americans that will be acquainted with legal gambling is set to increase exponentially. We feel it is important to educate people on how to take calculated betting decisions. This comes with a great level of responsibility, as it is crucial for new participants to understand the importance of betting with their head rather than with their hearts. Doing the former will allow them to develop a healthy relationship with sports betting and gambling."

The HowToBet.com team is committed to creating educational content that helps guide newcomers in making smarter betting decisions. The team recently launched its very first video podcast in partnership with gambling media veterans Daryl Fein and Sean Miller, who have more than 50 years of combined gambling experience. On the show, Fein and Miller explain how to bet,where to bet it, andwho to bet on. They take the time to explain where to find the best odds, how to make educated decisions and the thought process necessary to makingweekly predictions on teams from across the league. In short, the podcast truly helps newcomers learn how to bet.

The spike in sports gambling over the past year has mostly been attributed to the increase in legally licensed U.S. betting jurisdictions from 19 to 24, which account for 111 million Americans being able to bet legally within their home state lines. High levels of sports fan enthusiasm for the season are also projected to be a major factor, as fans are excited to return to stadiums after COVID-19 had a major impact on their participation in 2020.

The online sports handle was up 6% in July (and +2% year-over-year) to $613 million, while the sports gross gaming revenue (GGR) was -5% lower at $48.2 million. igaming revenues in Michigan hit a new high in August and were up 2% in July ($97.2 million). The sports handle was 2% higher at $192 million, but the GGR dropped by -19% to $15.9 million.

Casino streaming is a growing niche that you might have already heard about. Even right now, as you read this article, thousands of people watch their favorite slot streamers on sites like Twitch trying to hit the jackpot. However, you might wonder why casino streams are so popular and why many streamers decide to do them.

If you want to learn more about the world of casino streaming and its main benefits both for viewers and streamers you came to the right place. Here, we explain how casino streams work, what online casinos like https://davinciscasino.com/ have to gain by contacting the streamers, and why so many people watch casino streams. Additionally, we talk about how to become a casino streamer. Lets get started.

Lets start with the basics. Casino streaming is a live, interactive broadcast of a casino game on an online platform like Twitch or YouTube. The streamer plays the game live, while viewers can communicate with them in real time. Many people enjoy watching casino streams since they can see their favorite games in action and learn new tips on winning at them from experienced players.

Many online casinos have an affiliate program that allows streamers to earn money for attracting new players. The streamers usually wear a specific color or a logo of the casino in their streams. They talk about their betting strategies, offer advice, and take viewers' questions while they play. Some streamers let their audience place bets too.

There are two types of games that you can find on casino streaming websites: live casino games and online slots.

When you watch streaming sites like Twitch, the most common casino game that you will see is online slots. Online slot machines are the easiest way for newcomers to start playing casino games. They can learn how to play them quickly and understand the different types of symbols and winning combinations.

Live casinos are interactive games where players communicate with one another while playing the game. Live casino games include roulette, poker, blackjack, baccarat, etc. All of these games are played in real time so you will be able to see how the dealer spins the wheel and rolls the dice.

There are thousands of streamers who have turned being a casino streamer into their full-time occupation. This is not surprising at all considering the fact that many casinos pay these people to stream their games.

Streamers benefit from doing casino streams because it allows them to receive a commission based on the amount of money spent by their viewers through affiliate links. Additionally, casino gambling is fun and is something that many people like to watch live.

Its easy and convenient to watch a live casino stream you dont have to download any software or apps, and you can watch it from anywhere. However, the most important thing is that online streams provide a lot of entertainment for their viewers.

On the other hand, one of the main reasons why online casinos choose to cooperate with streamers is the fact that it allows them to reach many people. For example, online casinos can ask streamers to cover their events, basically turning all of these streamers viewers into potential customers.

Since the casino streaming is relatively new, there are no statistics on how much money can be made by streaming popular slots. However, we can say with certainty that it is more than enough to make a living.

Do you want to make a living streaming yourself playing slot machines? If so, then your first step will be contacting a casino operator and asking for a sponsorship in exchange for playing their games on your channel. If everything goes well, they will accept your offer and allow you to stream their games for a certain period of time.

Be aware that casinos have strict rules regarding who is allowed to get money for playing the live games. For example, some casinos require you to have a large number of followers in order to start collaborating with them. Make sure that you know the exact requirements before contacting them.

As you can see, casino streaming is a great complement to regular online marketing and advertising, and its a very efficient way to attract players. Additionally, it is an attractive option for streamers to earn extra money and a great source of entertainment for their fans.

If you want to become a casino streamer, it is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is set up your streaming channel on a platform like Twitch or YouTube Gaming and start streaming! It doesnt matter if you are a professional or an aspiring casino streamer. If you have the passion to entertain people with your skills, then you should definitely try it out!

Malta became a haven for gambling companies many years ago. To this day, there are a lot of major gambling companies with operations worldwide.

Malta's attraction has beenmainly due tothe legal regimeand tax advantages. Gambling operators were the first to find their way to the island, followed by game providers and other companies in the B2B chain. In recent years, more and more pure casino affiliates also have established themselves on Malta.

The concept of casino affiliates was borrowed from the e-commerce industry. It involves independent businesses that promote casinos for a commission. But how do you become a casino affiliate? Is this a good business? This article will guide you on becoming a casino affiliate, the pros of the program, and what you should know before becoming one.

How casino affiliate programmes work

Affiliates act as an intermediary between the casinos and the players. They are given a tracking link that tracks players who register or play in the casino.

The affiliate programme is usually based on the belief that a business should reward its partners for the visitors or customers they bring. The entire marketing plans, therefore, follow how the affiliates perform.

How casino affiliates get paid

There are two models that are used to pay affiliates. The first one is known as the revenue sharing model. In this model, the affiliate is paid a percentage of the profit from the traffic that the affiliate generates in a month. The higher the traffic, the higher the payment.

The other model is known as the cost per acquisition (CPA)model. This is based on the action the player takes as a result of the marketing activities of the user. It could be the player signing up on a casino or making their first deposit.

Some casinos may only have one payment option while other affiliates may have the choice of more than two. Its important to understand that some casino affiliate programs have certain restrictions that can affect the affiliate negatively. The casino restrictions may make them incompatible with the marketing program of the affiliate. Therefore, its important to understand the terms and conditions of a particular affiliate program.

How to become an affiliate

Many casino brands are using affiliates to improve their potential reach. Before you sign up for an affiliate program, you should look at the affiliate program page of the brand. This can be a link at the footer of the casino site that has all the key information on how to become an affiliate.

As casino brands often wants to have customers all over the world, it can be beneficial for you to start in a country where a particular casino brand lacks exposure. For example, many casinos are looking to get into the Japanese market and a site like https://internetcasino.jp/ is attractive for brands that seek exposure in that particular market. The Japanese market is particularly difficult for Malta based casino operators. There are other lucrative markets where many brands deems difficult. Large parts of Asia, and Africa are far behind Europe and North America when it comes to legal online gambling options. Choosing a newly regulated with a large population and functional payment systems, is a good start.

While it's free to sign up for an affiliate program, this is just one step of the process. After getting your affiliate link, you will need to get down to work. One of the ways that you can use to promote an affiliate program is through blogs. The casino affiliate creates content where they embed affiliate links in form of banners, text links, and so on. In such cases, it's important for the affiliate to consider their target audience and the kind of content the prospective customers are likely to respond to.

How to acquire new players as affiliates

There are several methods that casino players can use to acquire affiliates. These include:

Factors to consider before joining an affiliate program

Some key factors to consider in a casino affiliate program are:

What you need to know before becoming an affiliate

Many casino affiliates are mostly attracted by the profits. However, it's important to carry out a background check before joining a program. This will show you if you are dealing with a reputable casino or a scam. To attract more players, affiliates should trust the brand they are promoting. Even if you have been a player at the casino for a long time, this may not be enough to become its affiliate. The program may not be friendly to affiliates.

Remember that many affiliate programs have rules that need to be adhered to. For instance, the UK Gambling Commission has rules restricting the advertising of a casino. One of the rules is that any advertisement should not appeal to underage children. Affiliates should be aware of such kinds of rules.

Ohio sports betting backers are hoping to regain momentum on a long-stalled legalization proposal.

The Ohio Senate, which has already passed a sports betting bill, called for a conference committee Wednesday to help advance the proposal. Backers hope a joint conference committee of Senate and House members can help finally pass legislation that has lingered in the legislature for years.

The current sports betting legislation is attached to an unrelated veteran identification bill. The Senate, hoping to pass the bill before a self-imposed June 30 deadline, inserted the sports betting language in the ID bill on June 25, which had already passed the House.

The House unanimously rejected the sports betting provisions of the ID legislation on June 29, meaning it could not pass into law. Lawmakers took a summer recess beginning in July, delaying further action on the bill until the 2021 session reconvened earlier this month.

Sports betting legalization in general has bipartisan, bicameral support as well as backing from the states casinos and professional sports organizations. Lawmakers are still wrestling with license allocation, among other key decisions, which has stalled the current bill and derailed previous legalization efforts in prior legislative sessions.

Ohios current legislative session is set to conclude in December 2022, though sports betting backers hope to have a bill passed that could allow sports betting to begin sometime next year.

A conference committee could be a key step toward rectifying the legislative logjam. Industry observers, as well as lawmakers themselves, were optimistic before Wednesdays conference committee request that sports betting legislation would pass this year; the committee could help the bill finally cross the proverbial goal line.

Its not going to be easy, but I know we can get it done, Ohio Senate Minority Leader Kenny Yuko told The Action Network in July.

The legislation has undertaken multiple revisions following months of hearings, further prolonging the legislative process. Lawmakers tried to balance the states existing brick-and-mortar gaming facilities, pro sports organizations and hospitality industry stakeholders, all of which lobbied extensively for sports betting license access.

The current legislation now included as part of the voter ID bill would permit as many as 25 statewide mobile licenses. There could also be up to 40 retail sportsbooks throughout the state.

Ohios 11 casinos and hybrid horse racing track racinos could have two skins apiece. The states eight combined NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and MLS franchises could have one online skin each, as too could the PGA Tour and NASCAR, each of which host events in Ohio.

Other leagues, including the Womens Tennis Association, have also sought sports betting licensee authorization. Hall of Fame Resorts and Entertainment, a publicly traded company based in Canton, is hiring for its gaming division and would presumably also pursue sports betting access in its home state.

The current bill also leaves room for entities not affiliated with a casino or professional sports organization. Lawmakers earlier in the legislative process opened the door for virtually any business with an Ohio presence to pursue a license with bill sponsor Sen. Nathan Manning citing Ford Motor Company as an example.

The casinos and sports franchises would almost assuredly all go after retail licenses as well. The current law allows up to five retail books in counties with more than 800,000 residents; three in counties with 400,000 to 800,000 residents; and one book license in those with at least 100,000 residents.

Lawmakers have also pushed to include sports betting access for veteran and fraternal organizations as well as certain bars and restaurants. These entities could apply for a limited number of betting kiosk licenses.

Ohios population and sports background would make it a major target for the nations leading sports operators. Top sportsbooks including DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars and Barstool all either have an existing casino affiliate in the state or will pursue market access.

Other likely sportsbook entrants or companies with market access deals include PointsBet, TwinSpires, WynnBet and MaximBet, among others.

Editors note: An earlier version of the story incorrectly said the current Ohio legislative session concludes in December 2021. It is set to end in December 2022.
