Better Collective acquires US market leading sports betting brands

Affiliates

Better Collective has, through a wholly-owned US subsidiary, completed the acquisition of the assets of Florida based Vegasinsider.com and Scoresandodds.com for a total transaction price of 20 million USD to be paid in cash.

Better Collective, the world’s leading sports betting affiliate, has acquired two of the leading sports betting websites in the United States (US). The brands have been market leading within sports betting information for more than 20 years and are expected to become market leading affiliate websites in those states where online sports betting is available. During the National Football League (NFL) 2018/2019 season, the two websites generated more than 15 million unique visits per month.C

With the aim of empowering sports bettors worldwide, Better Collective is adding the two websites to its portfolio of sites to educate and entertain users in the US as various states are beginning to regulate online sports betting. The business model that has been applied by the websites so far is based on user subscriptions, sale of picks (tips) and brand advertising. Following Better Collective’s acquisition, the business model will be changed towards affiliate marketing within sports betting (lead generation).

Better Collective will make a technical and commercial overhaul of the websites in order to facilitate regulated affiliate marketing and related revenue from the states that allow online sports betting. The two websites are expected to send traffic to licensed operators from Q3 2019, and the technical/commercial overhaul is expected to be complete during H2 2020.

During the transitional period of the websites, revenue and earnings from the websites will be temporarily reduced. For the remainder of 2019, it is expected that the Better Collective group will realise a slight increase in revenue, however, no profit is expected from the websites in that period. The websites are expected to contribute with substantial revenue and earnings from H2 2020.

Better Collective is one of only a few affiliate marketing companies presently authorized to enter into revenue share relationships in the State of New Jersey.
