An engaged, mobile-first audience represents one of the biggest revenue opportunities in the global sports betting market.
Optimove, the #1 player engagement platform for iGaming and sports betting operators, today released its LATAM 2026 World Cup Betting Intentions Report, revealing that 86% of Latin American bettors plan to place bets on the tournament.
The study was conducted by Optimove Insights, the company’s research and data analytics division.
The report positions Latin American audiences as mature, highly engaged, and mobile-focused bettors. The combination of strong interest, confidence, and continuous engagement, even after their national team is eliminated, creates a significant opportunity for the industry.
Among bettors planning to participate, 75% have already bet on a previous World Cup, including 20% who bet in both 2018 and 2022.
The remaining 25% will be betting on a World Cup for the first time, driven by the expansion of legal sports betting across the region.
At the same time, 94% describe themselves as moderately or highly confident in their betting knowledge, reinforcing that this is an experienced audience that expects precise and relevant communication.
The LATAM 2026 World Cup Betting Intentions Report is based on a survey of 882 bettors worldwide, conducted in early 2026, including 264 respondents from Latin America.
Research highlights
- High confidence and year-round engagement. 60% of Latin American bettors rate themselves as highly confident in their betting knowledge, while another 34% consider themselves moderately confident—totaling 94%. Additionally, 35% bet on football several times per week, and another 26% do so weekly.
- Strong loyalty to national teams. 90% support a favorite national team during the World Cup. When their team plays, 50% say they will definitely bet, and another 37% are very likely to bet. Even after elimination, 78% will continue betting.
- Live betting and multi-betting behavior. 77% plan to bet live during the tournament. For 33%, this is the preferred format, while 44% combine pre-match and live betting.
- Push notifications dominate communication. 38% prefer push notifications as their main communication channel, far ahead of email, which is preferred by only 14%.
- The World Cup as an engagement accelerator. 91% will continue betting on football after the tournament. Among their preferred destinations, 72% will move to the Copa Libertadores, 62% to the UEFA Champions League, and 34% to the Premier League.
- Use of multiple betting operators. 65% plan to use two or more platforms during the tournament. The main selection criteria are ease of use (59%), promotions (52%), and a trusted, familiar platform (46%).
“This is one of the most engaged sports betting audiences in the world. Nearly nine in ten Latin American bettors will follow the World Cup through betting and remain active year-round, mobile-first, and demanding personalization, not generic promotions.
Operators that succeed in LATAM will be those able to match this level of intensity with equally precise communication.
This is what Positionless Marketing enables,” said Optimove Founder and CEO Pini Yakuel.

OKTO destaca el crecimiento de nuevos apostadores en Argentina rumbo al Mundial 2026
La Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026 se perfila como el mayor evento de apuestas que la industria haya visto, no solo por el formato ampliado del torneo, sino porque el perfil del apostador ha cambiado fundamentalmente desde Qatar 2022.
Una encuesta ealizada por OKTO PAYMENTS, el proveedor líder de servicios de pago diseñado para el comercio digital de alto rendimiento, revela que la próxima ola de crecimiento de las apuestas en Argentina estará impulsada por usuarios casuales, primerizos y altamente sensibles a la experiencia, lo que genera tanto una gran oportunidad de adquisición como un importante desafío operativo para los operadores de iGaming.
En 2022, la Copa del Mundo se disputó durante la madrugada y las primeras horas de la mañana en los husos horarios sudamericanos, con transmisiones concentradas en la televisión lineal y un mercado de apuestas fragmentado donde las transferencias bancarias y las tarjetas de crédito eran los métodos de pago dominantes.
En 2026, los partidos se emitirán en horario prime time, con cobertura multiplataforma y alianzas oficiales con YouTube y TikTok.
El impacto comercial de este año podría ser significativo. Según un estudio del banco multinacional británico Barclays, el Mundial de Qatar 2022 generó 35.000 millones de dólares en apuestas deportivas. Esta cifra fue un 65 % superior a la registrada en Rusia 2018.
Las proyecciones para 2026 son, naturalmente, aún mayores, según los analistas de mercado.
Este crecimiento se está produciendo en toda la región, aunque a diferentes velocidades: mientras Brasil reguló el sector e implementó sus normativas en 2025, Argentina ha avanzado de forma más gradual en la creación de marcos legales para las apuestas deportivas.
Sin embargo, según la encuesta, el cambio más importante podría venir del comportamiento del consumidor, incluso más allá del aspecto regulatorio.
Casi la mitad de los consumidores encuestados en la región (43,8%) afirma que normalmente no realiza apuestas, pero planea hacer una excepción durante el Mundial.
Este apostador ocasional es predominantemente femenino, ya que el 57% de las mujeres encuestadas indicó que solo apostará durante el torneo, y además tiende a tener más de 35 años.
Cuanto mayor es el grupo etario, mayor es la proporción de consumidores que planea apostar exclusivamente durante la Copa del Mundo: entre los mayores de 56 años, la cifra alcanza el 57,1%.
“La Copa del Mundo crea un entorno completamente diferente para la adquisición de usuarios por parte de los operadores”, afirma André Boesing, gerente general de OKTO para el Cono Sur.
“Una gran parte del volumen de apuestas en 2026 provendrá de usuarios que interactúan con una plataforma de apuestas deportivas por primera vez.
Evaluarán toda la experiencia de la plataforma —registro, velocidad de depósito, verificación y retiros— en cuestión de segundos”.
Un fan argentino sabe exactamente lo que significa ganar algo que parecía perdido.
En los últimos 40 minutos de la final del Mundial 2022, Argentina ganó, sufrió el empate, volvió a ponerse arriba y nuevamente empate, incluso estuvo cerca de perderlo (de no ser por aquella atajada salvadora del arquero argentino).
Luego llegaron los penales, más de 20 minutos de tensión, y el alivio solo llegó con el penal final de Montiel. Ese día, nadie apagó el televisor. Nadie se fue.
El resultado valió cada segundo de sufrimiento.
Cobrar una apuesta ganadora también vale la pena, pero ahí termina la tolerancia.
Ese jugador que acaba de vivir toda esa intensidad no quiere atravesar otro proceso que lo haga esperar. Cada minuto de demora para retirar sus ganancias se convierte en el punto máximo de frustración con la plataforma.
La encuesta también destaca la creciente importancia del comportamiento de apuestas en tiempo real. Casi la mitad de los encuestados (42,3%) afirma que espera momentos clave durante el partido —como penales, revisiones VAR o tarjetas rojas— antes de realizar una apuesta.
Al mismo tiempo, más de un 50% asegura que planea apostar por Argentina independientemente de las cuotas, generando picos altamente predecibles de tráfico y volumen de transacciones durante los partidos de la selección nacional.
Esto reduce significativamente la ventana operativa para los operadores.
Es poco probable que un apostador que reacciona a un evento en vivo espere largos procesos de KYC, depósitos demorados o experiencias lentas de retiro.
El impulso emocional del partido queda directamente ligado al rendimiento de los pagos.
Los fanáticos pueden tolerar esperar el anuncio de una alineación o el desenlace dramático de un partido.
Lo que no tolerarán es esperar para acceder a sus ganancias.
El aumento esperado en la actividad de apuestas también trae consigo un desafío paralelo.
Más del 70% de los operadores encuestados reporta incrementos significativos en el riesgo de fraude durante grandes eventos deportivos, y alrededor del 40% cree que este riesgo será aún mayor durante el Mundial 2026.
La llegada masiva de nuevos usuarios sin historial previo en las plataformas incrementa ese riesgo y, al mismo tiempo, vuelve más críticos los procesos de verificación, ya que los apostadores ocasionales tienen poca tolerancia hacia procedimientos de onboarding extensos.
Casi la mitad de los operadores reconoce que la fricción en estos procesos perjudica activamente las tasas de conversión.
Mientras los operadores se preparan para el ciclo de la Copa Mundial 2026, los resultados refuerzan la creciente importancia de contar con infraestructuras de pago capaces de soportar depósitos y retiros en tiempo real, onboarding sin fricciones, prevención inteligente de fraude y un rendimiento resiliente de las transacciones durante los momentos de mayor demanda de apuestas.
Andre Boesing, gerente general de OKTO para el Cono Sur, afirmó: “La Copa Mundial 2026 no solo será más grande en cantidad de partidos.
También traerá un tipo de usuario que el mercado de apuestas nunca había visto a esta escala: alguien que abrirá una cuenta en una plataforma por primera vez, probablemente durante el entretiempo, desde su celular y sin ninguna paciencia para procesos burocráticos.
Nuestra investigación muestra que alrededor del 40% de los que normalmente no apuestan planea hacer una excepción durante el mundial. Eso cambia por completo lo que la infraestructura necesita ofrecer”.
OKTO PAYMENTS apoya a los comercios con capacidades integradas de pagos, tesorería, banca y liquidez, diseñadas para ayudar a los operadores a maximizar la conversión, simplificar operaciones y escalar de manera confiable durante eventos deportivos globales de alta demanda y más allá.
