The “E-Sports Betting Global Market Report 2024” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The E-sports betting market size has grown rapidly in recent years, from $9.96 billion in 2023 to $11.22 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth observed in recent years can be credited to the rising popularity of esports, increased acceptance of online gambling, higher prize pools, heightened youth engagement, and increased sponsorship and investment.

The E-sports betting market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.12 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7%. The growth in the forecast period is driven by the expansion of esports titles, broader global market reach, regulatory developments, strategic partnerships, and expanding infrastructure. Key trends expected during this period include cross-platform integration, adoption of blockchain technology, improved user experience, advancements in technology, and the integration of AI and machine learning.

The growing popularity of online games is expected to drive the growth of the E-sports betting market. This growing popularity is fueled by technological advancements, widespread internet access, engaging and immersive gameplay experiences, social connectivity, and a diverse range of game genres catering to various interests and age groups. E-sports betting enhances the appeal of online gaming by increasing viewer engagement, attracting a broader audience, and generating revenue for the e-sports industry. For example, in 2022, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, an Australia-based federal government body, reported that the digital gaming industry was valued at $240 billion worldwide in 2020 and is projected to grow to $294 billion by 2024. In 2021, the industry generated $226.5 million in revenue, marking a 22% increase from 2020, with 83% of this revenue coming from international markets. Therefore, the rising popularity of online games is driving the growth of the E-sports betting market.

Major companies in the E-sports betting market are focusing on developing innovative technology, such as odds and modeling feed technology, to enhance betting accuracy, improve user experience, and offer more competitive and dynamic betting options. Odds and modeling feed technology involves using statistical models and algorithms to predict outcomes and optimize decision-making in various applications. For instance, in April 2022, Esports Technologies Inc., a US-based provider of esports products, platforms, and marketing solutions, launched its innovative Odds and Modeling Feed Technology. This cutting-edge technology allows the company to deliver real-time odds and modeling data to its clients, enhancing their ability to make informed betting decisions. The technology leverages advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques to analyze vast amounts of data, providing accurate and up-to-date insights on esports events.

In July 2021, Esports Entertainment Group Inc., a US-based esports entertainment and online gambling company, acquired Bethard Group Limited for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to significantly enhance Esports Entertainment Group’s market presence and revenue by adding new gaming licenses in Sweden and Spain, thereby expanding their operational footprint and increasing their available markets. Bethard Group Limited is a Malta-based company that provides sports betting services.
