Ep 122: Converting the Rugby World Cup into new betting engagement

After what many people are calling the greatest weekend of rugby action ever, with the World Cup quarter-finals producing four scintillating contests, iGaming Daily, sponsored by SBC Summit Latinoamerica, examines whether sportsbooks have managed to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the tournament.

Our guests look at whether the World Cup format and on-field action has helped to take rugby union to a new audience, and how bookmakers have reacted to events in France.

Have sportsbooks really had the right product available for rugby fans and have they tapped into the promotional opportunities created by the showpiece event? Or is it a case of a big missed opportunity for the industry? 

Host: Joe Streeter  

Guests: John Cook & Martyn Elliott
