Assumptions & Methodologies

We identified active U.S. e-receipt panelists with Yahoo Fantasy Plus receipts (n=782), Yahoo Mail Plus receipts and no Fantasy Plus receipt (n=6,073), and a deterministic 2.5% general-panel sample (n=34,860). We measured deposits at eight named sportsbook and daily fantasy sports operators from August 18, 2025 through August 18, 2026. Bettor penetration is the share of each cohort with at least one deposit; deposit depth is median summed gross inflows per bettor, capped at $10,000 per order. Coverage excludes some app-store and daily-fantasy-only activity. The cohorts are descriptive, not demographically matched or causal.
