Next, we took different approach and tried looking for the key players of the sports betting industry such as 888 Holdings, GVC Holdings, Kindred Group, Paddy Power Betfair, William Hill, Bet365, Stars Group, Draft Kings, Betsson, and BetAmerica with an aim of identifying the customer acquisition costs for the different companies and then calculating the average to arrive at the customer acquisition cost for a sports betting company but most of the information is limited to marketing expenses. There is no specific information on CAC or the total number of customers to calculate the average CAC.
