DIS looking into sports betting (from Q3 earnings call)


Bob ChapekChief Executive Officer

Yeah. Well, in terms of sports betting, we have been in conversations for quite a long time now with a number of different platforms to add some utility to sports betting and take away some friction for that for our guests. We have found that basically our sports fans that are under 30 absolutely require this type of utility in the overall portfolio of what ESPN offers. So we think it's important.

We're working hard on it and we hope to have something to announce in the future in terms of a partnership there that will allow us to access that revenue stream and also make sure that our guests are being — having their needs met.

What are your thoughts?

There are pure acquisition targets out there: KAMBI+RSI, KINDRED maybe?

Also partnerships: DKNG, PENN, KAMBI (again) ?
