The global market is forecasted to rise at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period, from 2022 to 2031. The global sports betting industry value is estimated to attain value of US$ 653.5 Bn by 2031. It is anticipated that the growing popularity of sports across the globe will propel the market for sports betting.

Such promotional measures are expected to fuel sports betting industry growth in the forthcoming years.

As a result, the global sports betting market is expected to expand as more people watch sports.
