Market analysis | What will de 2026 FIFA World Cup do for Spanish sports betting?
With football providing the world’s biggest sports betting market, the FIFA World Cup always has a major impact on betting volumes.
But how will the 2026 FIFA World Cup impact Spain’s sports betting market specifically?
We asked the experts from H2 Gambling Capital who concluded the following:
Applying these dynamics to Spain […] we expect the 2026 World Cup to generate in the region of €2bn of sports betting handle for Spanish licensed operators over the course of the tournament. This figure reflects the combined contribution of existing active players betting more heavily during the event, dormant accounts reactivating, and new account sign-ups drawn in by the tournament. […]
On a GGR basis, the tournament is likely to be worth in the region of €135 m to Spanish licensed operators.

Brazil federal court suspends Spribe’s Aviator trademark rights pending final ruling
18th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District blocks enforcement of Brazilian registration No. 501759803 after action by Aviator Studio Brazil.
A Federal Court in Brazil has ordered the suspension of Spribe’s trademark registration for “Aviator,” preventing the company from relying on exclusivity rights tied to Brazilian trademark registration No. 501759803 until a final judgment is issued.
The decision was issued by the 18th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District, following legal action brought by Aviator Studio Brazil. Aviator Studio said the court recognized the strength of its claims on the grounds of invalidation of Spribe’s trademarks.
According to Aviator Studio, the case centers on evidence that the Aviator trademark was created and used years before Spribe obtained trademark protection in Brazil. The company said the court acknowledged evidence that the Aviator brand originated in Georgia in 2016 and was formally registered there in 2018.
The court also took note of prior judicial decisions in Georgia that, according to Aviator Studio, invalidated Spribe’s registration of the Aviator trademark and confirmed the rights of the original trademark owner.
“This decision represents an important step in protecting the Aviator brand and enforcing intellectual property rights internationally. In practical terms, this means that, until the final resolution of the Spribe’s trademark invalidation proceedings, Spribe will no longer be able to continue it’s disruptive practices against operators, including sending threatening letters or initiating legal actions related to the use of Aviator Studio’s trademark.” comments George Pruidze, CEO of Aviator Studio. “We remain committed to defending the integrity of the Aviator brand and ensuring that its legitimate ownership is recognized across all jurisdictions.”

Aviator Studio Secures Significant Legal Victory in Brazil as Federal Court Suspends Spribe’s Aviator Trademark Rights
Aviator Studio has achieved a significant legal victory in Brazil after a Federal Court ordered the suspension of Spribe’s trademark registration for “Aviator,” recognizing the strength of Aviator Studio’s claims related to the grounds of invalidation of Spribe’s trademarks.
The decision, issued by the 18th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District, prevents Spribe from relying on the exclusivity rights arising from Brazilian trademark registration No. 501759803 until a final judgment is rendered.
The ruling follows legal action brought by Aviator Studio Brazil, which demonstrated that the Aviator trademark had been created and used years before Spribe obtained trademark protection in Brazil. The court acknowledged evidence showing that the Aviator brand originated in Georgia in 2016 and was formally registered there in 2018, years before Spribe’s Brazilian registration.
Importantly, the court also took note of previous judicial decisions in Georgia that invalidated Spribe’s registration of the Aviator trademark and confirmed the rights of the original trademark owner.
“This decision represents an important step in protecting the Aviator brand and enforcing intellectual property rights internationally. In practical terms, this means that, until the final resolution of the Spribe’s trademark invalidation proceedings, Spribe will no longer be able to continue it’s disruptive practices against operators, including sending threatening letters or initiating legal actions related to the use of Aviator Studio’s trademark.” comments George Pruidze, CEO of Aviator Studio. “We remain committed to defending the integrity of the Aviator brand and ensuring that its legitimate ownership is recognized across all jurisdictions.”
Aviator Studio will continue pursuing all available legal measures to safeguard its intellectual property rights and protect the integrity of the Aviator trademark worldwide.
