Online Gambling Market is Projected to Reach USD 160 Billion by 2026
According to a recent study from market research firm Global Market Insights, The global online gambling market is estimated to witness tremendous revenue growth over the coming years due to an upsurge in smartphone adoption and improving internet infrastructure across the world. Additionally, convenient and easy accessibility to online casino gaming platforms would also complement the overall market outlook over the analysis time period.
Gambling is termed as risking money or anything which is of material value for uncertain results. The initial purpose is of winning an additional amount or material goods. Online gambling also known as internet gambling is basically betting on sports type games or casino done over the internet. Bingo, slots, roulette, keno, poker, lotteries are some of the examples of online gambling.
In addition, various new features introduced by gambling platforms by leveraging technological advancements to attract more customers. This new trend is anticipated to majorly foster the industry size in forthcoming years. Various new technologies like Virtual Reality, 3D Animation, Live Table Games, and convenient as well as mobile-friendly gaming are majorly propelling the market outlook over the coming years.
As per a research report by Global Market Insights Inc., the online gambling market would likely exceed a valuation of $160 billion by the end of 2026.
In terms of type, the online gambling market is bifurcated into bingo, lottery, poker, casino, and betting. The betting segment is further classified into tennis, horse racing, Formula 1, football, esports, and boxing & UFC. Among the other segments, the online betting is the fastest growing segment over the forecast period. In fact, Chabot, machine learning, and AI (Artificial intelligence) have substantially taken over the market. Further, the convenience of cashless payment methods during gaming and increase in the number of female populations in casinos are likely to drive the online gambling industry.
Talking of the lottery segment, though lotteries are still very popular in Colombia, their revenues have progressively diminished as a result of competition from modern games, such as Baloto, which is an electronic lottery game managed by Coljuegos. With the popularity of modern games, the lottery segment might witness slow growth over the coming years.
Based on device type, the online gambling market is classified into desktop and mobile. The desktop device type segment will witness substantial growth over the coming years. The proliferation of sports betting ads across the world and ease of sports betting using desktop is expected to propel segment growth.
On the regional front, the Asia Pacific online gambling industry witnessed a significant upsurge in the industry recently due to the coronavirus pandemic. The strict lockdowns imposed by regional government authorities were responsible for majorly driving the adoption of online betting among APAC customers. In fact, according to the reports of illion Australia and AiphaBeta Australia, Australia witnessed a tremendous 67% rise in online gambling back in April 2020, after the country closed every non-essential service in Australia to keep the case count low. Likewise, the closing of land-based casinos has further resulted in a significant upsurge in the players using online casinos in countries like India.
Similarly, even Global Poker, the US-facing online poker room, reported a tremendous 43% growth in the adoption of online poker platforms across the United States after the lockdowns and social distancing mandates took effect. Additionally, the region observed an immense 255% rise in first-time players. Moreover, a lot of free time in the lockdown has compelled people to use online gambling platforms to pass time, which is majorly pushing the market landscape.

QTech adds Split The Pot games to boost Africa and LatAm offering
QTech has signed a content deal with Swedish supplier Split The Pot to add new games to its aggregation platform for African and Latin American markets. The agreement was announced on 10 June 2026.
Under the deal, QTech will roll out Split The Pot’s mobile-optimised “light games”, including Comet Crash Deluxe, Wheel of Fortune and the Zama Big 5 series. The supplier says its titles are designed to support a range of volatility profiles and include “the ability to cashout at every level”.
The companies positioned the partnership around performance in emerging markets where players can face device and connectivity constraints, including lower-spec handsets, limited network access and higher data costs.
Philip Doftvik, QTech’s CEO, said: “Split The Pot offers a welcome breath of fresh air in the sector, especially with their creative cashout functionality working seamlessly even in territories where network connectivity remains a challenge. The games are therefore very well suited for the African markets, in particular, which aligns with our increased focus on the region. Locally adapted content is regularly requested from our clients in Africa, hence we are excited to release Split The Pot’s games to our partners there.”
Christian Rajter, CEO of Split The Pot, added: “We’re thrilled to join forces with QTech. This partnership means even more players in our core markets, like Africa and Latin America, will have access to our engaging games. We’ve designed them to work seamlessly, even on less powerful devices and with limited internet, ensuring everyone can enjoy the experience.”

Boomerang Partners opens the Second Half of Golden Boomerang Awards 2026 during the summer of major sports
The First Half of the Golden Boomerang Awards 2026 by Boomerang Partners is over, and this annual affiliate tournament is moving into the Second Half. The winner of the opening stage will attend the Wimbledon Championships from June 29 to July 12, 2026, the main prize of the First Half. From June 10 to July 19, the Golden Boomerang Awards will run during one of the busiest periods in the sports calendar, with events such as the FIFA World Cup and Wimbledon Championships expected to drive audience attention throughout the stage. For the Second Half, Boomerang Partners is preparing new mechanics, the next Mystery Box draw, and the main prize of the stage – a private dinner with an AC Milan Legend.
Beyond the Moment enters the next phase
The Second Half continues the main idea behind this season’s concept, Beyond the Moment. A strong start still matters, but the tournament increasingly rewards teams that can stay active throughout the competition and react quickly to key moments in the sports calendar. With updated mechanics and a packed summer schedule ahead, even new participants still have enough time to challenge the current leaders.
The Second Half changes the pace of the tournament
The start of the Second Half changes the scoring system of the Golden Boomerang Awards 2026. From June 10, each Sport FTD now brings 3 points instead of 2. This makes sports traffic even more valuable during one of the year’s busiest periods.
The stage runs alongside the FIFA World Cup and Wimbledon Championships, two events expected to generate sustained traffic throughout June and July. For affiliate teams, this creates more high-traffic periods across the calendar before the tournament enters its final stretch.
New mechanics keep the competition open
The Second Half brings new mechanics for teams joining the tournament or increasing activity during the stage. Participants entering the competition during the first 14 days of the stage will receive double points through the WELCOME BOOST mechanic until the bonus period ends.
Combined with the updated scoring system and major sports events during the stage, this gives both current participants and new teams more opportunities to close the gap and compete for the leading positions.
Boomerang Partners will also continue the Mystery Box series during the Second Half. After the first draw in the opening stage of the tournament, Mystery Box #2 will now go to 9 randomly selected active participants. This keeps additional rewards open to both long-term participants and teams that joined the competition more recently.
The main prize of the Second Half will be a private dinner with an AC Milan Legend in August 2026, continuing Boomerang Partners’ collaboration with the Club as an Official Regional Partner.
Kristina Shkredova, Affiliate Team Lead at Boomerang Partners, commented: “Closing the first stage doesn’t mean the main race is decided. The Second Half changes the tournament’s pace completely: Sport FTDs are now worth more, the sports calendar becomes even more intense, and teams still have enough space to move up quickly. We’ve already seen how competitive this season has become, but summer is where the pressure really starts. For some teams, this will be the moment to defend their position. For others, it’s the best chance to break into the fight.”
The Second Half of the Golden Boomerang Awards 2026 is now underway. As the summer sports season accelerates, affiliate teams still have time to stay active in the competition, use the updated mechanics, and improve their standing before the tournament reaches its decisive stage. Current standings, tournament updates, and registration details for both existing and new participants are available on the official Golden Boomerang Awards 2026 website. It’s TIME TO WIN THE TITLE.
