Sports Betting and the RG Game Plan
As sports betting opportunities rapidly increase, RG measures need to evolve to meet the demands of this emerging field. Operators expanding their offerings to include sports betting have the opportunity to integrate RG into their services at the outset, while those already in the field can take advantage of the current focus on sports betting to refresh and expand their RG strategy. Join us as our panel discusses the latest research that identifies priorities and leading practices in sports RG and will highlight real-world examples of what strong RG programs look like in practice.
