Cloudbet maps regional betting trends in August–September 2025

Leading crypto sportsbook and casino Cloudbet has released the first edition of Cloudbet Snapshot: Regional Crypto Betting Trends, a new series designed to track how bettors worldwide engage with their favorite sports. This inaugural snapshot, covering August to September 2025, analyzes betting activity across 12 of the most popular competitions—a curated slice from the thousands of events available on Cloudbet every day. The findings provide one of the clearest looks yet at regional betting behaviors during a peak period spanning the start of European soccer seasons, the US Open tennis championships, and the MLB playoff race.
Set against a global online gambling market valued at $87.69 billion in 2025 and forecast to hit $153.57 billion by 2030 (11.9% CAGR, Grand View Research), the results reveal a telling divide: while soccer remains the backbone of crypto betting worldwide, regional favorites like baseball, UFC, and Argentina’s Liga Profesional are reshaping the landscape.
“We took each region’s top five competitions and built a composite set to show where local favorites overlap or diverge globally,” said John, a Cloudbet spokesperson. “This snapshot gives a clean view of how bettors engage across regions, without drowning in the thousands of markets we host every day.”
Soccer dominates, but rivals (Grand Slams, MLB) break through
Globally, soccer accounted for 57.1% of activity in the sample, led by the Premier League (15.57%), La Liga (12.78%), and UEFA Champions League (10.08%). A London derby between Chelsea and Crystal Palace was among the top draws, underscoring soccer’s ability to anchor engagement across markets.
Tennis also stood tall. The US Open men’s and women’s singles combined for over 20% of activity, with high-profile matches in New York driving late-summer betting volume. MLB contributed 9.73% globally, a figure lifted by pennant-race rivalries such as Yankees v. Red Sox, which pulled bettors well beyond North America.
Regional snapshots:
- Latin America: Copa Libertadores (8.98%) and Liga Profesional de Fútbol (LPF) (8.53%) underlined local loyalties, with MLB making inroads at 10.89%.
- North America: MLB towered at 22.78%, supported by college football’s return (10.62%) and UFC (10.21%). The Du Plessis v. Chimaev bout captured enough attention to rival soccer, which managed only 10.42% in the region.
- Asia & Middle East: Soccer led, with Serie A (9.75%) joining global heavyweights, while UFC climbed to 5.98% — evidence of a growing combat-sports appetite.
- Europe: Soccer stayed dominant, but bettors also looked to the UEFA Europa Conference League (9.93%) and US Open Women’s Singles (10.03%), showing a taste for variety alongside the main football calendar.
Figure 1 note: The chart reflects a combined set of 12 competitions drawn from each region’s top five by engagement. It is not a global “top 12,” but rather a mix of favorites that surfaced across Latin America, Asia/Middle East, North America, and Europe.
Liga Profesional de Fútbol’s surprising global reach
Argentina’s Liga Profesional de Fútbol (LPF) emerged as a standout. While commanding 8.53% in Latin America, it also posted 3.59% in Europe and 3.07% in Asia/Middle East, both just nominally higher than its 3.06% in North America. Beyond diaspora ties and broadcast reach, analysts believe the LPF benefits from time-zone dynamics: evening kickoffs in South America align with late-night hours in Europe, giving bettors fresh live action after local leagues wrap up. By contrast, Copa Libertadores (8.98% in Latin America, 1.53% in North America) remains a more appointment-driven event, commanding big moments but not the same nightly presence.
“Bettors don’t switch off when the last whistle blows in London or Madrid,” said John, the Cloudbet spokesperson. “They roll straight into Buenos Aires or Montevideo, because those games are still live, the streams are cheap, and the action feels real. It’s the same reason a Yankees–Red Sox series or a UFC title fight can pull people in from outside North America — rivalries and timing matter as much as the sport itself.”
Cloudbet Snapshot methodology and context
- Scope: 12 most engaged competitions, selected by pooling each region’s top five during August 5 – September 4, 2025.
- Metric: Share of unique bettors per competition relative to the 12 listed, not sitewide volume.
- Timing: Coincided with European soccer kickoffs, MLB pennant races, and the US Open.
- Exclusions: Other competitions available on Cloudbet were not included, meaning sports like NBA, NFL, or niche leagues may be underrepresented, likely due to seasonal variability.

New iGaming consultancy launches to meet rising demand for ‘cost-effective’ licences

A new iGaming consultancy has been launched to meet an increasing demand for ‘cost-effective’ gambling licences.
iGaming Licensing is a new venture from the team behind successful Isle of Man-based regulatory service provider Global Gaming Solutions, which supports clients in acquiring top-tier licences, including in the UK, Isle of Man and Romania.
iGaming Licensing will focus on helping emerging operators and software providers which are looking to acquire more affordable licences in jurisdictions such as Anjouan, Nevis and Tobique.
The new venture is being led by brothers Mark and Tom O’Neill, supported by partners James Lees and Rachel Booth, who between them boast several decades of experience in igaming regulation.
Mark O’Neill, Managing Partner, said: “Not every operator and software provider needs a top-tier gambling licence, the cost of which is often prohibitive for smaller, emerging companies. However, it’s vital companies still ensure they are compliant and have a strong regulatory framework so they can protect their business and players and build a strong foundation for growth.
“We’re seeing a significant increase in this mindset and the inspiration for iGaming Licensing – to apply our tier-one experience to supporting emerging businesses in successful, more affordable licence applications.
“We are committed to offering only those licences we can confidently recommend. To support this, our website features a unique recommendations page.
“Carefully curated by the licensing team, this resource outlines key benefits of specific licences, helping customers identify the option that best suits their business needs. While acknowledging that every operator has its own priorities, the page provides a clear, expert-led overview designed to simplify decision-making.
“With a compliance-first ethos, a carefully designed recommendations platform, and a reputation for excellence, the group is positioning itself as the go-to partner for businesses seeking trusted licensing solutions in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.”
