Shifting Consumer Attitudes Toward Fantasy and Sports Betting

The fantasy sports and sports betting industry was not immune to the disruption caused by COVID-19.

With the start-and-stop nature of major leagues, and the looming threat of a shutdown in the midst, HPL Digital Sport (HPLDS) wanted to gauge whether fans’ energy and enthusiasm for fantasy sports and sports betting had changed.

In a snap survey of more than 600 fantasy players and sports bettors, HPLDS sourced original findings on the year-over-year engagement in gaming and betting, the levels of loyalty to specific platforms, and what would ignite users to be more loyal to one brand versus another.
