The rise of online casinos, sports betting platforms, and other gambling alternatives has intensified the competition for the attention and spending activities of potential bettors, which presents a significant challenge for horse betting. This shift in consumer preferences poses a tangible threat as customers explore alternative avenues for their leisure betting activities with sports such as football, basketball, and cricket, among others. In addition, horse betting operators has to face regulatory hurdles that impede their ability to properly compete with other forms of sports betting options in the market. For instance, in the U.S., horse betting is subjected to state regulations, which results in varying levels of permissions and authorization across different states. Similarly, in Australia, horse betting is regulated at both the state and federal levels, with specific license requirements and restrictions on certain bet types. Japan prioritizes a fair and transparent betting environment through stringent regulations enforced by the Japan Racing Association. These disparities in regulatory frameworks create an uneven playing field and limit the growth potential of horse betting operators compared to other leisure betting sports, which acts as a barrier for the market.
