COVID-19 Impact on the Global Online Gambling Market Value

The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the market, as consumers turned more to the online platform during lockdowns to overcome their financial, psychological, and social crises. Because of the lockdown measures and work-from-home culture, it was one of the industries that thrived during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to that, the various countries’ and governments’ lockdown and social distancing regulations have had an impact on land-based casino operations. As a result, regular traditional gamblers shifted their focus towards online gambling, which again fueled the market demand during the COVID-19 period.

Mobile gambling is becoming increasingly popular around the world. Although it is constrained alongside online gambling in some states, the mobile gambling market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. According to gambling regulators, mobile gambling is frequently conducted by younger individuals, who are more susceptible to addiction. Sports betting is the most common form of mobile gambling; despite its association with gambling-related harm, live-action betting is aggressively marketed on mobile gambling applications in areas where betting regulation is more permissive. The introduction of payment options such as Apple Pay, Pay by Phone, and others have made a significant difference. Their withdrawal and deposit times are much shorter. Furthermore, various statistics show that mobile casinos grew in popularity during the lockdown. In some countries, the increase was nearly 100%.

Sports betting will generate the biggest online gambling market revenue in the coming years

According to our sports betting industry analysis, the market is expected to reach around USD 139 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of more than 10% between 2021 and 2028. Some of the online gambling market trends include increased connected device penetration and varying regulatory scenarios for the overall gambling industry. Additionally, the introduction of 5G networks, as well as the growing application of artificial intelligence and block chain technologies in the sports betting industry, is expected to generate a variety of growth opportunities over the forecast years. Furthermore, the rising popularity of sports betting gambling on games such as football, cricket, and easy understanding of these gambling among millennials are some of the leading aspects driving the market growth.

Online Gambling Market Segmentation

The global market has been divided into three sections: type, device, and region. The market is divided into five types: casinos, bingo, poker, sports betting, and others. Based on our analysis, the sports betting segment is anticipated to lead the market during the forecasted timeframe from 2022 to 2030.

Furthermore, the device segment is split into desktop, mobile, and others. The desktop segment generated a significant online gambling market share in 2021, owing to the larger screens and easy visibility to enjoy their betting events. However, mobile gambling will grow at the fastest rate due to the increasing global penetration of Smartphone’s and their ease of access to online gambling apps.

Online Gambling Market Regional Outlook

North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa are the regional classification of the global online gambling market. Among all the regions, the Europe region leads the online gambling market with the majority of the share during the forecast timeframe. This could be attributed to the growing sports industry, the presence of leading players, and the ease of regulations.

On the other hand, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to attain the fastest growth rate from 2022 to 2030. This is ascribed to the increasing number of Smartphone users in countries such as China and India. Additionally, rapid urbanization, increasing internet penetration, and increasing adoption of crypto currency in online gambling are some of the factors that are supporting the Asia-Pacific online gambling market.

Global iGaming solutions provider, WA. Technology has earned Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) certification in Brazil for its casino aggregator product as it looks to expand its presence in South America.

Certification for its standalone casino aggregator product allows WA Technology to increase its range of integrated iGaming content supplied to operators in the Brazilian market.

This ever-expanding catalogue of content includes tens of thousands of games, cementing it as a more trusted partner for operators seeking to thrive in this market, with the added assurance that it fully complies with Brazilian regulatory requirements.

Meeting the necessary requirements for the casino product builds on WA Technology’s strong record in the region, where it already has an established presence and certified platform, with an experienced team of professionals based out of an office in Recife. This gives the business a unique understanding of the players in the country and the team to simplify any complexities that may arise for operators.

By making the aggregator a standalone product, the team can provide content to operators who are not already on the WA Technology platform, joining the likes of F12 Bet, which already uses the full turnkey sportsbook, casino and player account management.
