As the biggest women’s sporting event in the world comes to a close this weekend, Entain, the global sports betting, gaming, and interactive entertainment group, reveals the exponential growth in betting on the Women’s World Cup across the globe.

The top trend seen by Entain’s UK sportsbook is the number of women betting on the women’s beautiful game. Entain’s Ladbrokes and Coral brands in the UK recorded that the first three England games saw an average 21% of bets placed by women, compared to 17% in the 2022 Women’s Euros, and 13% during the last World Cup in 2019.

This rising trend of female bettors is also reflected by the co-hosts, who are bringing a new legion of fans to women’s football as the tournament is hosted in the Southern Hemisphere for the very first time. Data from Entain’s partner and official sponsor of the tournament, TAB New Zealand, reveals that almost 15% of bets recorded by TAB New Zealand have been placed by women compared to 9% in 2019.

There has also been a rise in betting more broadly on the Women’s World Cup in the co- hosting countries. TAB New Zealand recorded a 365% increase in number of bets placed on the tournament this year as fans get into the World Cup spirit – despite their home team getting knocked out in the group stage. In Australia, the increase was almost 200%, fuelled by the Matildas deep run into the knock-out stage.

Across the pond, the strength of the US women’s team has also been credited for the rising number of US fans backing women’s football. In fact, for the US women’s team’s opening game vs. Vietnam, BetMGM saw three times the number of bets compared to Lionel Messi’s debut for Inter Miami CF.

The growth of women’s football has been nothing short of a phenomenon. And it is only set to get bigger, as a recent study by IBIA, co-funded by Entain, revealed that football leads in the volume of people betting on women’s sport – bets on women’s football have grown at an annual market growth rate of approximately 20% since 2020.

Dominic Grounsell, Entain’s Chief Commercial Officer, comments: “This summer, we’re witnessing the biggest Women’s World Cup in history, and around the world there is a growing audience and appetite for women’s sports. The facts say it all. More of our customers are finding new ways to support their favourite teams – and that’s with a bet. This can only be brilliant for women’s sport. As this Women’s World Cup is proving, the interest from fans is there, which paves the way for women’s sport to gain bigger audiences, more media attention, and more avenues for aspiring female athletes around the world to take up sports professionally.”

Entain supports ambitious and talented female athletes through its partnership with SportsAid, and its Pitching In initiative. In fact, 18 of the UK’s 23-woman World Cup squad this year were previous beneficiaries of SportsAid funding, a charity that supports over 1,000 athletes each year – by providing them with a financial award to help towards training and competition costs.

N1 Partners is launching a new series of traffic competitions, N1 Traffic Cups, with the first tournament set to begin this March. The 2026 program will feature multiple promotional events, including standalone cups and a global championship, offering partners new opportunities to scale performance and compete on an international stage.

The initiative builds on the success of the year-long N1 Puzzle Promo in 2025. Drawing on participant feedback and proven mechanics from that campaign, N1 Partners has developed a refreshed competitive format designed to reward consistent growth, efficiency, and strategic traffic management.

The season opens with the N1 SEO Traffic Cup, introducing a dedicated leaderboard with a tiered performance system and a structure focused on real traffic efficiency rather than scale alone. The spring launch sets the tone for what promises to be a highly competitive year for SEO teams and traffic specialists.

Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners, comments on the upcoming launch:
“There are plenty of races and battles in the industry, but it was important for us to create a format that stands out in both spirit and approach. We’re not just preparing another competition – we’re building a story with character, centered around strategy, structure, and true competitive drive.

2026 is a year of major sporting events: the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup. The spirit of competition and top-level achievement perfectly aligns with the DNA of N1 Partners: energy, high performance, and healthy competitive ambition are what motivate and push both us and our partners forward.”
