The 2023 NFL season's opening week saw a 56% YoY surge in sportsbook logins and 1.1 million new customers. GeoComply Solutions recorded over 242 million geolocation transactions from customers at U.S. sportsbooks. The data could be positive for sportsbook companies like DraftKings, Flutter Entertainment's FanDuel, and BetMGM. Needham analyst Bernie McTernan rates DraftKings a Buy with a $44 price target. ESPN Bet platform from Penn Entertainment through a licensing deal with The Walt Disney Company is also expected to launch later this year. Genius Sports, the exclusive carrier of NFL games data, could also benefit from the increased activity.
