Eilers & Krejcik Gaming expands sports betting division

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Eilers & Krejcik Gaming — one of the leading voices in the U.S. gaming industry — has recently enhanced its expertise with the addition of Chris Krafcik as managing director for political and regulatory affairs. In his role, Krafcik will expand Eilers & Krejcik’s research and analytical capabilities as well as co-author the firm's U.S. Sports Betting Monitor, a leading source of insights and forecasting for the rapidly-evolving regulated U.S. sports betting market.

Previously, Krafcik served as GamblingCompliance’s U.S. research director. An expert in iGaming, daily fantasy sports, and sports betting, Krafcik authors regular syndicated research reports covering policy and regulatory development in U.S. Internet gambling and sports betting. In addition, he has provided expert witness testimony to multiple state legislative bodies, and his work is regularly cited in major media outlets.

“Chris brings a rare level of expertise and a unique perspective to Eilers & Krejcik that will help the firm continue to position itself as a leader in sports betting research,” said Todd Eilers, principal at Eilers & Krejcik Gaming. “His knowledge of iGaming and sports betting, which is particularly important as sports betting expands across the country, will augment Eilers & Krejcik’s already detailed analysis and research that our clients have come to rely on.”

The firm’s revamped U.S. Sports Betting Monitor is central to Krafcik’s role at Eilers & Krejcik Gaming. The monthly report offers comprehensive analysis of the emerging market for U.S. regulated sports betting, including detailed legislative and regulatory tracking, insider commentary on industry developments, forecasting for various markets, and a review of critical data points that provide clarity on the fast-growing vertical.

Created by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming’s Sports and Emerging Verticals team, the U.S. Sports Betting Monitor has proven to be an invaluable resource for gaming industry stakeholders, investors, regulators, and journalists.

“Following the Supreme Court ruling on PASPA earlier this year, sports betting has become the most-watched segment of the legal gaming industry,” said Chris Grove, managing director of Sports and Emerging Verticals for Eilers & Krejcik. “With constantly changing regulatory and legislative environments, high-quality research and analysis is a keystone for stakeholders looking to manage or benefit from the expansion of regulated sports betting across the country. ”
