On Wed, Sporttrade announced that it has received market access in Virginia, where it plans to go live next month. When Sporttrade evaluates whether to enter a certain market, the company will weigh a litany of factors, ranging from the size of the market to the cost of a license, along with revenue sharing expenses, loss carryforward provisions and deductions on promotional expenses. In many respects, Sporttrade will benefit from second-mover advantage in Virginia. When all of the outputs are factored, Sporttrade compiles an index of the most beneficial states in which to gain market access. Virginia places highly on the so-called "Sporttrade Economic Rating," ranking ahead of states such as Massachusetts, North Carolina and Ohio, ones that generally produce a larger monthly handle. The index also ranks Virginia higher than other prominent states, including Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana and Illinois, a high-tax jurisdiction. "Our analysis normalizes for all of the outputs, Virginia is just a no-brainer state for us," CEO Alexander Kane told Action Network. Before Thursday's Chiefs-Ravens NFL opener, Sporttrade has ramped up its marketing efforts. In New Jersey, Sporttrade has begun to promote a roadside billboard with the tagline: "The expressway to -104 lines." "We are truly marketing this product because we feel like it's finally reached the maturity level to be successful and to be a captivating option for the premium player," Kane said.
