EVERYONE plays video games now. The gaming industry (PC, console, mobile, etc) has become a global behemoth and it’s breaking records right now.
The whole world is being hit hard by Covid-19, the Coronavirus. Countries are shutting their borders. Citizens are being ordered to isolate themselves and stay indoors. The two worlds that PandaScore operates in — esports & betting — are no exception to this rule, but if we’re keeping score sports betting world is suffering much more. An unprecedented worldwide cancellation of sports is cause for massive losses for bookmakers.
With the NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, EFL, F1, NCAA March Madness, and the Olympics potentially being postponed or cancelled everyday the loss of revenue and share prices are adding up. The American Gaming Association estimated $8.5 billion in bet volume for March Madness in 2019, in 2020 there will be $0. There are efforts under way in the US to fast track mobile betting and esports betting as a life line for the industry. Bookmakers are scrambling right now, they’ve never dealt with a challenge as fierce as this global pandemic that’s only beginning.
Well nothing is going to replace the industry’s billions lost to the virus but there is an opportunity to get creative and stop some of the bleeding. Esports has the opportunity to keep up the momentum and gain a more mainstream audience.
