The legalization and innovative technologies have opened the floodgates in the online sports betting market, with the entire industry seeing more users and revenue than ever. Since 2017, more than 85 million people have started placing sports bets online, pushing the total user count to 127.8 million in 2023. As the online sports betting industry continues booming, this figure will grow even further in the following years.<\/p>\n

According to data presented by CasinosEnLigne.com<\/a>, the total number of users in the online sports betting market is expected to jump by 36% in the next four years and touch almost 175 million by 2027.<\/p>\n

An Average 13M New Users Per Year, Despite User Growth Slowing Down<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The tremendous growth of the sports betting industry has been boosted by legalization in the United States and Canada. America’s sports betting revenue skyrocketed by a jaw-dropping 1,500% since the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act in 2018, turning the US into the world`s second-largest online sports betting market, with $7.6bn in revenue and 31 million users.<\/p>\n

In just two years, Canada turned from a country that banned online bets into one of the fastest-growing sports betting markets. The legalization of single-game sports betting released a huge Canadian demand, with more than 16 million Canadians placing online sports bets today. The two markets had a huge role in user growth in the global online sports betting market.<\/p>\n
