On Thursday, Canada’s Liberal Party introduced legislation that would end the country’s ban on single-game sports wagers. That sparked rallies in some equities with exposure to the country’s betting market.<\/p>\n

Currently, Canadian gamblers can wager on parlays authorized by provincial lotteries. But betting on individual games is prohibited, prompting bettors to either use<\/a> illegal local bookies, place action with offshore sportsbooks, or travel to New Hampshire, New York, Michigan, and Montana — the US states bordering Canada that allow sports betting.<\/p>\n

The new legislation set to pass would address two important issues: (1) the law would legalize single-game sports betting and (2) it would allow other sports betting operators to enter Canada and create a competitive marketplace,\u201d according to Roundhill Investments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The New York-based exchange traded funds (ETFs) issuer estimates Canadian bettors have sent $15 billion offshore. Provincial lotteries have taken in just $500 million on the current parlay offerings.<\/p>\n

Winners Already Emerging<\/h2>\n

On news of the Liberal Party’s evolving view on sports wagering, Score Media and Gaming (OTC:TSCRF), the operator of theScore and theScore Bet, stands out as an obvious winner. On Friday, the US-listed shares of that Canadian company vaulted higher by 64.77 percent on above-average volume.<\/p>\n

\n

Score, which was recently promoted<\/a> to the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE), is one of the few gaming companies that marries both wagering platforms and a media outlet under one umbrella. While the operator has a growing US footprint, including Colorado, Indiana, and New Jersey, its home country remains a vital market, levering it to progress on the single-game wagering issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cTheScore seems best-positioned to take advantage of the new regulations. TheScore, which currently trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange, is a leading sports media brand in Canada,\u201d said Roundhill analyst Matias Dorta in a note<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Analysts at Canaccord estimate that Ontario, Canada’s largest province, could add almost $77 million in revenue for Score Media if wagering on individual sporting events is permitted.<\/p>\n

Score projects the Canadian market could generate $2.92 billion to $4.15 billion in annual revenue if single-game wagering comes to life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Other Winners<\/h2>\n

Already one of the hottest US-based<\/a> gaming names this year, Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:PENN) has exposure to the Canadian legislation because it has a 4.7 percent equity stake in Score via a market access agreement. Penn doesn’t operate any land-based venues north of the border.<\/p>\n

In a note to clients Friday, Union Gaming analyst John DeCree points out Bally’s (NYSE:BALY) could be another beneficiary of the changing environment in Canada. That’s because Bet.Works, which Bally’s is acquiring for $125 million<\/a>, is a \u201clogical\u201d partner for Score.<\/p>\n

Other domestic operators that could get a lift in the Great White North include Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR) and Century Casinos (NASDAQ:CNTY).<\/p>\n

While Caesars is focusing intently on its US portfolio, it operates a namesake venue in Windsor, Canada. Century, which has a burgeoning sports betting<\/a> footprint of its own in the US, runs six casinos and pari-mutuel venues in the western province of Alberta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
