SeventySix Capital investor predicts ESPN BET will lead US sportsbook market
SeventySix Capital managing partner Wayne Kimmel predicted that ESPN BET would eventually become the top US sportsbook, according to a media report. PENN Entertainment had partnered with ESPN for the brand and was on track to launch it in mid-November; Kimmel also expected the venture to reach the top three by 2026.
Kimmel’s forecast may shape expectations around PENN’s ESPN-branded sportsbook launch and its prospects in the US market.
