Andy McIver from Sportingbet on Sportsbook
Podcast by Ronan Tighe
Andy McIver joins me this week to talk about the past innovations of sportsbooks, and the future changes in the industry.
Andy has been extremely successful since becoming Sportingbet CEO in October 2006. At the time, the US had just passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) which resulted in Sportingbet having to offload their US facing businesses which represented 80% of their business. Andy had to refocus the business and target other markets in Europe and Asia. They have been very successful in doing this so I asked Andy what were the key factors in their success. In the podcast we also talked a lot about the future both in terms of the technologic advancements and the likely consequences of regulation and consolidation in the industry.
