COVID-19 Impact on the Global Online Gambling Market Value

The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the market, as consumers turned more to the online platform during lockdowns to overcome their financial, psychological, and social crises. Because of the lockdown measures and work-from-home culture, it was one of the industries that thrived during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to that, the various countries’ and governments’ lockdown and social distancing regulations have had an impact on land-based casino operations. As a result, regular traditional gamblers shifted their focus towards online gambling, which again fueled the market demand during the COVID-19 period.

Global Online Gambling Market Growth Aspects

Increasing penetration of Smartphone’s will fuel the global online gambling market share

Mobile gambling is becoming increasingly popular around the world. Although it is constrained alongside online gambling in some states, the mobile gambling market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. According to gambling regulators, mobile gambling is frequently conducted by younger individuals, who are more susceptible to addiction. Sports betting is the most common form of mobile gambling; despite its association with gambling-related harm, live-action betting is aggressively marketed on mobile gambling applications in areas where betting regulation is more permissive. The introduction of payment options such as Apple Pay, Pay by Phone, and others have made a significant difference. Their withdrawal and deposit times are much shorter. Furthermore, various statistics show that mobile casinos grew in popularity during the lockdown. In some countries, the increase was nearly 100%.

Sports betting will generate the biggest online gambling market revenue in the coming years

Some of the online gambling market trends include increased connected device penetration and varying regulatory scenarios for the overall gambling industry. Additionally, the introduction of 5G networks, as well as the growing application of artificial intelligence and block chain technologies in the sports betting industry, is expected to generate a variety of growth opportunities over the forecast years. Furthermore, the rising popularity of sports betting gambling on games such as football, cricket, and easy understanding of these gambling among millennials are some of the leading aspects driving the market growth.

Furthermore, the device segment is split into desktop, mobile, and others. The desktop segment generated a significant online gambling market share in 2021, owing to the larger screens and easy visibility to enjoy their betting events.
