Boomerang’s insights: The evolution of sports betting traffic

Sports betting is becoming a key driver of affiliate growth — it’s a global trend, and Boomerang Partners reveals the latest insights behind this evolution.
Sports betting has evolved significantly in recent years. Now, it is a serious separate direction in affiliate traffic, bringing top profits. Boomerang Partners, a rapidly growing global brand and organizer of the tournament for affiliate teams – the Golden Boomerang Awards, has analyzed the evolution of this business direction and shared its insights.
It’s a thing of the past: simple Sportsbook sites, limited payment methods, and basic betting options
Evolution touches every aspect of human activity, and sports betting is no exception. Previously, bookmakers offered their users simple website functionality so they could focus their attention only on betting opportunities. The range of markets was much more modest than it is now.
Payment options for deposits and withdrawals were also quite limited compared to today, often causing inconvenience for users. Users had to choose from a few options for transferring funds, and it was not always convenient for them.
Current trends: focus on dynamics, privacy, and modern technology
Today, the betting industry is booming thanks to live betting, where users place wagers in real time. The rapid development of the mobile app segment makes it possible to place bets wherever one likes. Users also appreciate dynamically changing odds and the ability to watch match streams on betting platforms to adjust their predictions. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used to calculate odds, making them more accurate and adaptive.
Modern technologies have expanded the range of payment methods available, with the integration of cryptocurrencies opening new possibilities for fast, secure, and anonymous transactions. Another notable trend is the introduction of social functions into the work of Sportsbooks. For example, holding tournaments with prize pools adds an element of interaction and competition between players.
Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 as an opportunity to succeed through sports traffic
Sports betting is now an important area that can significantly impact traffic growth. Boomerang Partners is currently running its second annual global Golden Boomerang Awards 2025. Its participants compete for monthly prizes and awards in 11 categories, including a Grand Prix. This year, for the first time, organizers have introduced two separate leaderboards: one for sports and one for casino traffic. Registration is open until May 5, and all interested affiliate teams have time to join and compete for awards.
Also, as part of the Golden Boomerang Awards 2025, Boomerang Partners is holding a special raffle with prizes to coincide with the Champions League semifinals. The tournament will run until May 11. If you register now, you can get into the prize draw, which will take place on May 3. The top 30 teams at the end of the tournament will go to Milan to the iconic San Siro stadium.
