Online Gambling Market Dynamics
The growing number of online casinos all over the world is fueling the online gaming market growth. According to our analysis of the online gambling industry, there are hundreds of high online casinos currently available. This is in addition to online poker rooms, live casinos, sportsbooks, and other services. Real money live casinos have grown into a multibillion-dollar industry that will grow in the near future. In addition to that, the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in online casinos is expected to propel the online gambling market forward. Artificial intelligence has also helped to transform the online casino industry exponentially. One of the most useful aspects of AI is determining which games players access the most frequently, how frequently a company's website is visited, and how much their customers wager on games and sporting events.
The growing popularity of sports betting is also expected to increase the market share of online gambling. Sports betting is a very profitable industry in which people of all ages enjoy betting. The global sports betting market is expanding due to factors such as a spike in the volume of sports events and leagues, as well as an increased focus on esports events. The legalization of sports betting has flooded the online gambling industry with millennials. According to recent online gambling statistics, more than 60% of modern sports gamblers are under 40, with millennials accounting for 46% and Generation Z accounting for 15%.
However, the market has been hampered by concerns about data theft and privacy. Because of the presence of millions of gamblers on online platforms, hackers can easily steal money, identities, and other personal information from any gambler. Furthermore, the rapid growth of the youth population who gamble illegally will pose a threat to the industry's growth. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, illegal sports betting is worth approximately $1.7 trillion per year and is frequently used for money laundering by organized crime groups.

According to our online gambling market forecasts, the sports betting segment will hold the biggest online gambling market share during the forecasted years.

The vast majority of online sports betting takes place during international sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup and the European Championships. However, the revenue generated by these events is significantly higher when compared to other types of gambling.
Market by Device
- Desktop
- Mobile
- Others
Among them, the desktop sub-segment achieved a maximum market share in 2021. The larger screen is the most obvious advantage of opting for a desktop for online gambling. A larger screen can help you see more clearly. Playing on a desktop computer can also be easier to navigate than playing on a mobile device because the majority of the controls can be ideally situated on the main screen rather than tucked away in a menu. Mobile gambling, on the other hand, is expected to grow at the fastest rate in the coming years. Smartphone penetration and the convenience they provide will drive industry growth. Because sports betting can be time-sensitive, the ability to place bets from anywhere is extremely crucial for the sports bettor.
