Listen: MediaTalk Episode 24: PointsBet ready to up the sports betting ante

Over the past four years, sports betting has gone from being a somewhat taboo, off-shore business and has now become "a mainstream entertainment platform," PointsBet USA CEO Johnny Aitken said on the latest episode of "MediaTalk," a podcast by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Aitken — whose company offers mobile betting in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia — said that in 2021, legalized sports betting generated some $58 billion in wagers.
