Analysis: How The Multiple-Brand Model Impacts State-Regulated Online Gambling Markets
Policymakers considering the issue of online gambling face a number of key decisions, including the question of how many unique brands (sometimes referred to as "skins") to allow under each individual online gambling license. To date, the majority of states (including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia) allow some level of multiple-brand participation under each online gambling license.
In this research study, Eiler’s & Krejcik performed a comprehensive evaluation of New Jersey's regulated online casino market. The study revealed an overwhelmingly positive connection between the presence of multiple brands per license and market size.
New Jersey's online casino market is roughly 50% larger in terms of total annual revenue than a New Jersey market where only one brand was allowed per license.
In sum, a greater number of available brands can result in:
- A larger overall market in terms of revenue.
- A larger base of taxable revenue.
- Increased competition in the market, which can create benefits for consumers including better product variety and quality, and better product prices and promotions.
- Increase revenue parity between larger and smaller operators in a market.
In addition, the imposition of license fees not only on master license holders, but also on partner brands, can provide states with additional sources of revenue.
