Rivalry\u2019s betting handle also climbed to $66.1m CAD (~\u00a338.40m) through October 2021. This is underpinned by the sportsbook\u2019s reported 600,000 registered users, which is up from 350,000 at the end of 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n
In November 2021, Rivalry forecasted its sports betting platform would launch in its home market of Ontario as well as Australia. The company\u2019s shareholder memo has since confirmed Rivalry has been ‘conditionally granted’ a sports bookmaker license in Australia from the Northern Territory Racing Commission. Meanwhile, its application with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario remains on ice at the time of writing.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cWe grew up interfaced with the internet, and view gaming as the sport of the internet,\u201d <\/span>Rivalry CEO Steven Salz<\/b> wrote in a shareholder letter. \u201cI\u2019m confident Rivalry as a company, and a collection of talented individuals understands better than any of our peers how to navigate and participate in this culture.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cThe growth and market leadership advantages we have created are a product of our disciplined execution on hundreds of large and small details that we deliver as a simple and cohesive user experience. This is how we are building brand equity with long-term sustainable value.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n[primis_video widget=”5182″]\n

Rivalry\u2019s strategic focus for 2022 will consist of a geographic expansion of its sport betting product, as well as a deeper investment in content and media. The company has additionally revealed it will continue developing original casino games to complement its platform, joining the likes of its first proprietary title launched in August 2021, \u2018Rushlane\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
Esports Insider says: Rivalry really seemed to find its rhythm over the course of the last year, acting purposefully in shaping its brand and gracefully managing a nebulous of owned content to engage esports fans. If 2021 is any indication of what\u2019s ahead for Rivalry, this upcoming year will be one hell of a ride for the Canadian bookmaker.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
