Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.This week in the world of Mr. Beast, or Jimmy Donaldson, has been a whirlwind of activity, spectacle, and even some hard pivots from controversy. The most headline-grabbing—yet ultimately tongue-in-cheek—event that set social media ablaze involved football. In a video that quickly amassed millions of views, Mr. Beast claimed he had bought the NFL, appearing alongside commissioner Roger Goodell to announce dramatic changes to the league. The spectacle turned out to be a tongue-in-cheek publicity stunt to announce that YouTube would exclusively stream Friday's matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs for free, and was never about Donaldson buying the actual league, which is still individually owned by its 32 teams as explained in The Independent US and confirmed by Bloomberg. Fans and sports journalists everywhere had a field day, and it undoubtedly put Mr. Beast further in the spotlight for digital media's growing influence in legacy sports.Meanwhile, Donaldson's reputation as a philanthropic figure remained strong, as he announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of fraudsters who conned Erik Bergman, cofounder of Catena Media, out of $1.25 million in crypto. The scam, which began after Bergman donated $1 million to Mr. Beast's Team Water campaign, highlights the risks top influencers face as impersonators create sophisticated social media and messaging hoaxes. Donaldson took to social media to amplify the search for the perpetrators, shining a spotlight on crypto fraud and leveraging his massive global following, as reported by NEXT.io and MaltaCEOs.Not all the headlines were golden: Mr. Beast's data collection practices have attracted scrutiny from the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU), which flagged his YouTube content for potentially collecting children's data without proper parental consent, an alleged violation of federal privacy laws like COPPA. Cybernews notes that his Feastables chocolate bar sweepstakes also drew criticism for insufficient transparency in entry methods and age verification, indicating the regulatory stakes for creators of Donaldson's size, especially with a large child audience.The entrepreneurial engine that is Mr. Beast kept roaring, even as past contestants on his Amazon series Beast Games filed a lawsuit alleging unfair production practices, which put his operations under a microscope, according to AOL. However, Donaldson has yet to publicly address the suit or issue any new statements as of this recording, and there have been no further updates on the matter in the past 24 hours.All told, Donaldson continues to push the boundaries of what an internet creator can do—whether by turning the NFL on its head, hunting down scammers, or navigating the regulatory maze of modern influencer business.

The latest episode of the Gaming News Canada is a gathering of members of the fourth estate to discuss and debate the latest storylines in the business of sports wagering and gaming. Dave Briggs, who mans the keyboard these days on the GNC newsletter. Robyn McNeil of Catena Media's Bonus outlet and Covers senior news analyst Geoff Zochodne join the media roundtable. The three-year anniversary of Ontario's open market sparked a good/bad/somewhat ugly-type of conversation, including the continued presence of 49 operators (and OLG), the (still) waiting for a centralized self-exclusion program to be delivered by iGaming Ontario through its partnership with IC360 and IXUp, the (still) waiting for Martha Otton's replacement to lead iGO, and the ongoing cone of silence - most notably by the provincial government and the AGCO - around legal gambling in the province (McAllister also brought up the curious decision by the American Gaming Association to turn down an interview request for a CBS Sunday Morning feature into the explosion of online sports wagering in the U.S. of A. and gambling addiction). The panel also weighed in on the horse racing industry's attempts to expand wagering through the Ontario open market, whither consolidation and the financial results delivered by the legal industry. McNeil, Zochodne and Briggs also got into the efforts by the Danielle Smith government in Alberta to get approval on Bill 48 to establish its own open sports betting and igaming marketplace. And the all-journo podcast included a segment on the stories du jour, including the Massachusetts Gaming Commission's look into limiting, and the ongoing legal wrangling involving Kalshi, Robinhood and Crypto.com around “sports event trading”.

The latest shoe to drop on the current tempest around regulated gambling in North America happened yesterday when the U.S. Senate for the Judiciary announced a America's High-Stakes Bet on Legalized Sports Gambling hearing for Tuesday, Dec. 16. All of the ruckus south of the border around sports betting and online gaming, including the angst around problem gambling, sports betting advertising – which is also happening in our home and native land - daily fantasy sports, and sweepstakes has attracted the attention of elected officials, traditional media, mental health advocates and others. So, we welcomed back Chris Grove to lend his voice of reason to the Gaming News Canada Show presented by GBG Plc. Grove, a co-founder of Acies Investments and partner emeritus at Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, provided a plethora of measured insight on the current brouhaha, including: · The interest in the industry from politicians and mainstream journalists should elicit more than a raised-eyebrow reaction from the industry;· Some suggestions for industry stakeholders in responding to the scrutiny;· The good work being done by the American Gaming Association – which recently added athlete harassment to its campaign around betting responsibly - to inform and educate folks on regulated gambling· The industry needing to catch its collective breath on issues such as expanding legal online casino across the U.S. Grove, the founder of Legal Sports Reports, discussed the challenges that journalists face in newsrooms and editorial departments that have shrunk in the U.S. and Canada. He also talked about the “Google effect” on gambling affiliates that led companies such as Catena Media to lay off journalists this fall (Dustin Gouker, in his Closing Line newsletter, created a spreadsheets of journalists available for hire). And he spoke about the potential impact of a second Donald Trump administration on the industry. Finally, we asked the industry veteran about the current appetite for funding startups and his thoughts on the M&A landscape in 2024. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, SBC's Content Director, Ted Menmuir, is joined by SBC Americas' Editor, and ex-Catena employee, Jessica Welman, to discuss the challenges faced by Catena Media in the US media landscape, particularly in the affiliate marketing sector. The duo explore the impact of market changes on affiliate strategies, the importance of brand building over SEO, and the cultural clashes between European affiliates and the North American market. Additionally, Ted and Jess also touch upon Merger & Aquisition trends and the future of affiliate marketing, with a focus on how Catena Media is adapting to these changes.To read more on today's topic, click on the following link:- https://sbcamericas.com/2024/11/07/catena-media-q3-2024-earnings/Host: Ted MenmuirGuest: Jessica WelmanProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James RossRemember to check out Optimove at https://hubs.la/Q02gLC5L0 or go to Optimove.com/sbc to get your first month free when buying the industry's leading customer-loyalty service.

These aren't the best of times for affiliates in the business of gambling, as reflected by the recent news involving XL Media, Catena Media and Better Collective. Straight to the Point publisher/editor Steve Ruddock returned to the Gaming News Canada Show. Ruddock walked us through his experiences in the affiliates industry over the past 15 years, and discussed with your humble host the decision by Catena Media and Better Collective to let go journalists covering the industry and what's next in the affiliate space. That also led to a lengthy discussion around coverage of the sports betting and gaming industry since the overturning of PASPA by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018. The wild and crazy presidential election in the U.S. has attracted the interest of 16 sportsbooks – including OLG - in Ontario's regulated marketplace. We asked Ruddock about the participation by Robinhood, Kalshi and Polymarket in predicting the Harris-Trump battle, and the potential impact the next U.S. federal government will have on the country's legal gambling landscape. Last but not least, the debate continues about the competition/collaboration of retail and online gambling, so we asked our guest for his two cents on the topic. Hosted on Acast.

This week on NEXT.io Weekly News, we cover significant shifts in the iGaming business landscape. Catena Media is reducing its workforce in response to an expected revenue drop, signaling a strategic adjustment to its operational focus. Meanwhile, XLMedia has announced the sale of its remaining assets to Sportradar, marking a pivotal move in its ongoing restructuring efforts.

Last week, Fanduel reached a long-term commercial partnership with Diamond Sports for the exclusive right to name the media company's regional sports networks (RSNs). As part of the deal, FanDuel has naming rights to Diamond's portfolio of 16 RSNs that provide access to new markets nationwide.And on the latest episode of iGaming Daily supported by Optimove, Jessica Welman, Editor of SBC Americas, is joined by Charlie Horner, SBC's Media Manager, to delve deeper into the deal.They discuss what the deal entails, where it went wrong for Bally Sports previously and why FanDuel believes that they can capitalise where Bally's couldn't, as well as what the success of this project would look like for FanDuel.After the break, the due move on to take a look at the affiliate space where XLMedia has exited the game, selling its North American domains to Sportradar in a deal that could be worth up to $30m. They talk about what Sportradar is getting from the deal, why XLMedia is throwing in the towel and what value suppliers are getting in the affiliate business.Elsewhere, Catena Media announced the layoffs of 29 employees and Jess and Charlie consider whether this could be a canary in the coal mine for North American affiliates.To read more about what was discussed in today's episode, click on the following links:- https://sbcamericas.com/2024/10/18/fanduel-naming-rights-diamond-sports/- https://sbcamericas.com/2024/10/22/catena-media-content-layoffs/- https://sbcamericas.com/2024/10/21/sportradar-xlmedia-affiliate-sale- https://sbcamericas.com/2024/08/15/betting-hero-geocomply-37m/Host: Jessica WelmanGuests: Charlie HornerProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James RossRemember to check out Optimove at https://hubs.la/Q02gLC5L0 or go to Optimove.com/sbc to get your first month free when buying the industry's leading customer-loyalty service.

Dustin Gouker joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss his career in journalism, marketing, and sports betting. Dustin first started in the sports journalism space reporting on the news of the local teams in his area. Through his love of sports and all things around it, he found himself reporting on daily fantasy sports at LegalSportsReport.com.

In the past week Catena Media acquired Lineups.com for $40 million, and Better Collective acquired Action Network for $240 million. The deal frenzy includes 20+ other transactions, and kicked off in 2020 when Penn National Gaming acquired Barstool Sports. We explain why the legalization of gambling in the US is driving a massive customer landgrab opportunity for sportsbooks, and why sports media assets are the key to efficient user acquisition and improved in-app sportsbook experiences.Subscribe to our newsletter.

Let's explain to listener why we got there. So, we're thinking about all the recent M&A and consolidation in sports betting media, between sportsbooks, sports media companies, and also amongst sports betting media companies themselves. Chris Erwin:So, a few deal points, just I think overnight, we noticed that Catena Media acquired Lineups.com for around $40 million. And Lineups.com provides analytics, betting predictions, and tools for a sports betting audience. We also saw that Better Collective, bought Action Sports Network for around $240 million. That was just announced yesterday. Over the past couple months, DraftKings has announced a major media push. So, they've licensed content within the Meadowlark Media portfolio for around 50 million. They acquired Vegas Stats and Information Network for around a 100 million. And they actually hired the former chief media officer from Verizon. Chris Erwin:A few more points, in April the NFL officially picked Caesars Entertainment, DraftKings, and FanDuels as its official Sportsbook partners. And then, in March, we saw XL Media, a European based media company, acquire Sports Betting Dime. And then, the Blue Wire Podcast Network enter into a strategic partnership with WynnBET, which has resulted in a 3.5 Million dollar direct investment. Plus the creation of studio space at the Wynn Resort actually in Vegas. Chris Erwin:So a ton of activity, right? Andrew Cohen:And much, much more. I mean, really just the tip of the iceberg. NBCU partnered with PointsBet, Turner Sports partnered with DraftKings and FanDuels, ESPN partner with DraftKings, Penn National Gaming acquired Barstool. All that was in 2020. Really, any sports media brand that has a dedicated audience, by now probably has a Sportsbook operating partner. Chris Erwin:We wrote about this in our 2021 predictions back in February, where we expected that the increased acquisition of media companies to power Sportsbook user acquisition, and to improve UA economics, that was going to not only escalate, but I think media was going to be looked at a way to further differentiate the Sportsbook in app experience, which would drive retention and deeper engagement and higher long-term values. Andrew Cohen:Yes. Good plug, checking out the blog, wearerockwater.com. Chris Erwin:Always got to plug the content. Before maybe going down at specifics, I think we think about why is this happening? And I think we see an overarching theme and the convergence of just all things, media and commerce. Some other partnerships in the space or consolidation you think of Hasbro, the toy manufacturer, buying eOne. MeatEater, the outdoor sporting brand buying First Lite, the complex hot sauce line. And even Food52, a food media company, think just over the past week, acquire Dansk, a Danish based food cookware or cooking durables line. Anything else I'm missing there Andrew? Does that sound right? Andrew Cohen:I'm sure We're a ton, but yeah, it's content. It's kind of the new universal truth in the entire consumer ecosystem that basically content, personality, brands, that have a direct fan relationship, are being leveraged to drive direct transactions. And we're seeing more and more of it, now that legal sports betting is being rolled out state by state across the US, and there's kind of this land grab rush for customer acquisition. It shouldn't be any surprise to us that we're seeing this convergence of content and commerce happening and in this vertical, as well. Chris Erwin:It's helpful to talk about just how big the sports betting market is in the US. So, with the legalization of gambling, just back in 2018, we see some estimates that sports betting will be four billion by 2022, in just the US. And that is expected to grow to over 40 billion by 2033. And then, I think for a global stat, I think that we see that online gambling alone is supposed to be around 20 billion by 2025. Chris Erwin:And so, we look at sportsbooks, which can be considered a pretty kind of commodified offering, is that there's a major land grab scenario now. So, a lot of these sportsbooks are spending a lot on user acquisition to invest in the opportunity that's coming right around the corner. Andrew Cohen:The streaming wars for example, where, there's a similar land grab opportunity, a foot with the rise of cord cutting and OTT consumption, the top six streamers last year spent a combined five billion on marketing alone. Not to mention the crazy amounts of their spending on content acquisition, just on marketing five billion. And it's a similar dynamic as this new market is unfolding, there's this early stage land grab and we're definitely seeing that in sports betting. Andrew Cohen:Just last year, we saw a 80% increase on ad spend by sportsbooks between 2020 and 2019. And now with all of these partnerships that we're seeing, this fight for user acquisition through top of funnel activation across content and community personalities, it's really only growing, getting more aggressive, and more well capitalized. Chris Erwin:A key point on this streaming wars. Yes, five billion on probably direct marketing spend, but that doesn't include the 10s of billions that maybe might even be reaching into the 100s that's actually spent on content, which we consider a part of definitely user acquisition costs for the Disney+, the Netflix, the Peacocks of the world. So, the numbers here are huge and the sportsbooks are following a similar path. Chris Erwin:So, I think it'd be helpful to actually talk about a specific case study. So, when gambling was legalized in Michigan, within the first 10 days of the sportsbooks were allowed to launch in that market, some interesting stats arose. And this was tweeted out by Dave Portnoy of Barstool. Barstool, I think observed a total handle. That like the total volume of transaction around sports bets of around 28 million. There take, their gross gaming rev, was around 3.3 million. And then, they spent around 49% of that on bonuses to acquire customers. Chris Erwin:But now, you compare that to the rest of field. The other sportsbooks, their handle was significantly higher, probably around 3 to 4X at around 88 million. Their gross gaming revenue was around 3X again at 10 million. But they were spending 169% of bonuses to acquire customers as a percentage of their gross gaming revenue. So, that's Barstool at 49%, rest of field at 169%. And when you look at the long-term economics there, I think you want to be Penn Gaming, having bought Barstool in 2020. And so, I think this is not surprising to see now the frenzy around this space of all the new acquisitions that we're observing. Andrew Cohen:Kind of, the proof is in the pudding when it comes to that acquisition last year at its low, the Penn National Gaming market cap was at two billion right now it's around 20 billion. So, it's really been paying off for them. And, we're seeing incumbents who were spending around $500 to acquire a single consumer. Whereas Barstool, because they've kind of already had this built in audience and this media marketing machine, are able to keep their costs down way low. Even a company like Clayline, which is highly focused on social media, digital influencers, and creators as a means of customer acquisition. Their customer acquisition costs are only about $25. Andrew Cohen:So, we could definitely see the economics are favoring operators, who kind of have a direct fan relationship, versus the ones who have to kind of pay for broad reach and exposure with huge ad deals, sponsorships, and stuff like that. Chris Erwin:Essentially, paying to just rent an audience, versus owning the audience yourself, which can be... Andrew Cohen:Exactly. Chris Erwin:That's a very expensive rent cost. So, I think the big question is then, how does this evolve? Where does this go? And something that you alluded to was evaluation, right? So, you talked about Penn Gaming's market kept growing 10X from 2 to 20 billion. I think we've also seen that the revenue multiple for the action network acquisition,, just announced yesterday was around 16X and compare that to Penn Gaming of Barstool rose around 5X. So you're definitely seeing revenue multiple expansion when you just consider how much bigger the sports gambling opportunity is. Chris Erwin:Second thing that I think we think about is from user acquisition, going into the UX experience, and driving a lifetime value of customers. So I know you've thought about this. Why don't you share your thoughts. Andrew Cohen:Essentially, the golden equation, golden ratio that everyone in this space is keeping their eyes on, is there a CAC to LTV ratio. So it's Customer Acquisition Cost to Lifetime Value. And as we've seen so far, a lot of the media activation so far has really been focused on the customer acquisition, just bringing new customers into the door. But I think over time, as we're seeing kind of this endless race to the bottom on customer acquisition cost, as they're kind of continuing to balloon in this early stage, we're going to see a shifting emphasis on increasing lifetime value and bolstering retention and stickiness and loyalty. Andrew Cohen:It's like you said, it is a really commodified marketplace where at the end of the day, almost legally bound, a lot of these sportsbooks are essentially offering the same product. So we believe that content, personality, brand, community, should not just be used as a funnel to bring fans in the door, but how can it be integrated into the app experience itself to keep them there. To differentiate the platform experience, the product experience, and to cultivate kind of an audience fan stickiness that keeps them coming back. Almost like what we're seeing with content platforms, with social media platforms, that are constantly thinking about how do we expand time on platform. Andrew Cohen:I think we're going to start seeing sportsbooks having a similar approach to how they integrate content, creative personalities, and community. So for example, if you look at theScore, their Sportsbook fully incorporates the brand's content, its creators, its fan community into that user experience. And as a result, the average user interacts with the app 100 to 130 times a month. Andrew Cohen:This is really different from what we're seeing from more traditional sports folks where customer acquisition is almost just a revolving door, get them in, place the bet, leave. Similarly, with Penn National and their Barstool branded Sportsbook, The Barstool Sportsbook, 39% of Penn National customers have placed wagers on bets promoted by Barstool personalities within the app. Andrew Cohen:So I definitely think that there's a ton of potential to begin integrating content into the app experience itself, instead of just using it as a funnel to bring customers in. But using it to really keep them in there, keep them engaged. Chris Erwin:All right. So while we're down to our final moments Andrew, I think, one other notion is where else do we head from here? I think we're going to see a lot more acquisition of sports media companies buy sportsbooks. And I think that, again, a lot of these sports betting media companies will consolidate to kind of consolidate costs. And then, also grow over audience reach and make themselves as a combined entities, a more attractive target for potential acquisitions. Chris Erwin:And I think that speaks to what Apollo has just bought Yahoo and AOL from Verizon. I've heard that there's definitely a play there, where with Yahoo finance combining into a sportsbook that is owned by Apollo and a bit of a roll up strategy, to then sell to a larger acquire in the next call it 18 to 24 months, like a Wynn, like a MGM, or a Caesars. That could be a very interesting financial play. So expect a lot more activity. Chris Erwin:All right, Andrew, in our final seconds, any final notes for our listeners? Andrew Cohen:No. I think that's all for me until next time. Chris Erwin:All right. Later. Andrew Cohen:Peace.
