The sports betting market is becoming more and more lucrative as an increasing number of countries around the world legalize online gambling. According to one report, the global sports betting market accounted for USD 83.65 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3% from 2023 to 2030, as more countries begin to legalize sports betting.
Perhaps the biggest opportunity for sportsbooks in terms of new countries coming online for regulated sports gambling in Brazil. With the 7th highest population of any nation – and a sports-crazy populace – Brazil represents a massive opportunity.
Untapped Potential
Sports betting is already popular in Brazil; about 50 percent of citizens say they have bet on a sports match in the past year, according to igamingbrazil.com.
Still, despite those impressive numbers, Brazil remains perhaps the western world’s most untapped sports betting market. That’s because most sports betting in the country is done in the so-called “grey market.” Bookmaking has been banned in Brazil since 1946, but many Brazilians place bets with entities using international servers in a non-regulated “grey area” However, the recent passage of a bill regulating sports betting and online casinos by the Brazilian legislature now opens up the betting market in the country.
This provides a massive opportunity for international book makers to enter into a market – the 6th most populous country in the world – with millions of ready-made customers with an appetite for sports betting. But gambling firms can’t just expect to just simply set up shop and win – they need to work with a partner that has an intimate knowledge of the Brazilian market.
