While we believe the embedded same-store 12.0% CAGR is reasonable, it isimportant to keep in mind the impact of promotions on GGR and, to the extentoperators extract promotions, the extractions would have a negative effect on grossrevenue growth rates. Given; 1) the assumed CAGR for the states that operated for the entirety of 2022through 2024, 2) the new states that came online in 2023 and 2024, and 3) theMissouri launch in 2025, our 2027 US sports betting forecast is ~$20.0 bn, up~3.0% from our prior forecast. 23 December 2025Gaming & LodgingiGaming Monthly 23 December 2025Gaming & LodgingiGaming Monthly 23 December 2025Gaming & LodgingiGaming Monthly Sports Betting Hold Percentage Trends Hold percentages, within the recreational sportsbook model, are largely, if notentirely, predicated on the mix of single-event versus parlay / multi-outcomewagers.
