End of an era as one of the great affiliate companies over the last decade and a half sells off its final remaining assets. As far as I know, XL Media was the first affiliate primarily focused on the gambling industry to go public, back in early 2014. The second half of the 2010's saw several others follows suit. I'm sure some people will dispute this, but the inherently difficult thing about this type of business is that shareholders appear to have a very binary view of the future. Either you're growing, and that means you can grow a lot more, or you're not growing and that means you're dying. I thought XL made some solid acquisitions in North America, but they were likely sunk by things that happened before they ever came over to this side of the pond. They had a nice run for a while in the media partnerships space, but that's a tough thing to hold onto long term, as margins keep shrinking and you're ever more dependent on search engines continuing to let you get away with publishing promotional content on sites you don't own. The companies surviving in this space are the ones building diverse portfolios and widening their reach, not just deepening it. That's a really hard thing to do, especially if finances are tight.

<h1>Real Estate Power Play: Kathy Kaye and Lorraine Baker Join The Corcoran Group</h1> <p>Talk about a real-estate Avengers assemble! When Captain Kathy Kaye, lauded for her negotiation power, and Agent Lorraine Baker, popular for her charm offensive with customers, join forces at The Corcoran Group, you know it's a "corporate Avengers" situation worth keeping an eye on. Stealing these power players from Compass and Douglas Elliman is akin to drafting LeBron James from the NBA— a bold move that screams, "We're not here to participate; we're here to take over." So, folks, grab your popcorn because the real estate game just got hotter, and we're all waiting to see the score after this colossal power-play! 🍿🔥 Question: What do you think will be the impact of Kathy Kaye and Lorraine Baker joining The Corcoran Group? #RealEstatePowerPlay #GameChangers #RealEstateAvengers</p> #blog https://lnkd.in/gTi7qF-z

We're seeing a classic David & Goliath play out in the RMG space. Currently, we have clear market leaders, but new players are entering the fray. Legacy giants like Fanatics and ESPN Bet are making moves and cautiously entering the digital market. More old-school brands like Caesars and MGM are shifting their focus to digital. They have a formidable presence in land-based gambling to lean on. Meanwhile, international players like Bet365 are eyeing the U.S. market, adding to the competition. We anticipate a significant market shakeup over the next two years. Initial frontrunners rarely maintain their market dominance indefinitely. While the top dogs will continue to grow, their market share will diminish as challenger brands gain traction. I would keep an eye on regional players, too. Local smarts and shiny new tech mean they're firmly in the game. So, while Goliath might stumble, he's still standing tall. For now. #RMG #GamingIndustry
