Goldman Sachs Forecasts Big Profits for Playtech in US

According to a recent report by Goldman Sachs, if and when online gambling is regulated in the United States, the financial giant forecasts Playtech, Bwin, Party Gaming and 888 to benefit the most, with Bwin and Playtech having the most potential in stock growth and Business to Business (B2B) profitability. The report elaborates that European online betting companies should benefit greatly from liberalized US online gambling laws, and that more B2B opportunities will be available as opposed to Business to Consumer (B2C) opportunities. In essence, however, it is the B2C that ultimately drives the B2B. It's the online casinos that draw in the the consumer traffic, but it's the software developers that fuel the online casinos. B2B opportunities would therefore essentially manifest in the form of licensing agreements and technology development. While the report attests that B2C would clearly be the most accretive, Goldman Sachs forecasts B2B as the "more likely route to market". What about the other casino software giants like Microgaming and Cryptologic? Although they were left off of the report, it's a pretty certain bet they will be vying for a fair share of the U.S. market. In fact, OCS predicts that Microgaming will be one of the top performers in the U.S. due to the overall transparency of their operations and association with eCOGRA. When regulation takes place in the U.S., more gamblers will enter the market - and more educated gamblers at that.
