The California-based company is reportedly looking to expand outside the US following its success to date. The UK and Europe are key targets as international demand is growing. Speaking to Bloomberg, Robinhood Vice President and General Manager of Futures and International JB Mackenzie said that the key is to ensure it’s always offering a “regulatory-compliant product.”

Online gambling operators will be watching developments closely, with many big names like Flutter Entertainment and DraftKings actively exploring opportunities in the space.
