Entain’s share price tumble follows a broader trend for gaming stocks in recent years. Added to that is a declining interest in the LSEG, as listed companies continue to exit at pace, including Flutter, which removed its secondary listing from LSEG in August.
The gaming giant left for greener pastures in the US, expecting to benefit from higher valuations in the most liquid equity market. But analysts have noted a similar downward trend in Flutter’s share price over time.
About Cursed Seas
According to Jennyfer Escobar, Stake’s Peru country manager, Peru is one of the most competitive in Latin America. “In the early stages, competition was largely driven by marketing investment, including advertising, sponsorships etc,” Escobar tells iGB. “Today, product quality, platform performance and the overall user experience are becoming much stronger differentiators.
“Players are more informed, have higher expectations and will switch brands if those expectations aren’t met.”
While Stake entered Peru in 2024, Betsson has been in the market since 2008, forming part of the market’s evolution both pre- and post-regulation. Andrea Rossi serves as the company’s commercial director in both Southern Europe and LatAm.
