Dublin, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Sports Betting Market: Analysis by Platform, Type, Betting Type, Sports Type By Region – Size, Trends and Forecasts to 2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global sports betting market was valued at US$108.92 billion in 2024. The market value is expected to reach US$198.53 billion by 2030. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of approx. 10% during the forecasted period of 2025-2030.

The global sports betting industry is highly competitive landscape characterized by a mix of established players, emerging startups, and technological innovations.

As more jurisdictions legalize sports betting and regulations become more standardized, the sports betting market would expand further, unlocking new revenue streams and driving competition among operators. Moreover, ongoing technological innovations, such as blockchain and virtual reality, hold the potential to revolutionize the industry and offer novel betting experiences to consumers.

Additionally, the proliferation of sports content across various digital platforms and the rise of e-sports present new avenues for growth and diversification within the sports betting market. Overall, the convergence of regulatory reforms, technological advancements, and evolving consumer preferences is poised to sustain the momentum of the sports betting industry in the years to come.

Moreover, the rapid growth of the sports betting market globally has been driven by several key government regulations and policy changes. For instance, regulators are emphasizing the need for operators to implement responsible gambling measures to protect consumers from harm. For example, many jurisdictions require operators to offer tools such as self-exclusion programs, deposit limits, and responsible gambling education initiatives.

These regulations not only promote consumer protection but also enhance the credibility and sustainability of the sports betting industry. For instance, the UK has a well-established gambling market with a robust regulatory framework. The Gambling Commission oversees licensing and enforces responsible gambling measures, creating a safe and trusted environment for consumers.

Regional Analysis

Asia Pacific held the major share of the market. The rising disposable incomes in many Asian countries have contributed to a higher demand for recreational activities, including sports betting, as people have more expendable income to allocate towards entertainment. Additionally, the popularity of sports, particularly football, cricket, and basketball, has surged in the region, driving interest in related betting activities. While gambling is generally illegal in Mainland China, state-run lotteries like the Welfare Lottery and Sports Lottery are exceptions and are permitted by the government. Online sports betting in the country offers convenience and a plethora of options, including markets for popular games like League of Legends and Dota.

Sports betting is legal in the UK, with a rich history and a well-regulated industry that has made the UK a world leader in sports betting. The Betting and Gaming Act of 1960 legalized betting shops, which quickly became a staple of British high streets. The UK has a long tradition of sports betting, particularly on horse racing events, dating back hundreds of years. The industry underwent a significant transformation with the digital revolution, leading to the development of online betting platforms that revolutionized the way bets are placed, making sports betting more accessible and diverse. The UK Gambling Commission, established in accordance with the Gambling Act of 2005, enforces stringent regulations to protect customers, prevent minors from gambling, and address problem gambling.

The US is regulating online sports betting on a state-by-state basis. For example, New York State introduced online sports betting in 2022, which significantly increased the US TAM (total addressable market) in its first year of going live. To a large extent driven by the potential tax dollars from regulated gambling, more US states and Canadian provinces are expected to regulate in the near term, further expanding the market. Moreover, as the market matures, operators will be able to optimize their offerings and attract more consumers.

On the other hand, the growing popularity of eSports as a spectator sport, particularly among younger demographics, has fueled the demand for eSports betting. Additionally, advancements in technology and the widespread availability of high-speed internet connections have made it easier for fans to watch eSports tournaments and place bets online.

By Sports Type: The report provides the glimpse of the sports betting market based on the following sports type: Football, Horse Racing, Basketball, Baseball, Cricket, Hockey, and Others.

Football held the highest share of the market and is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the forecasted period.

Published

on


LEXINGTON, Ky. – Colorado volleyball junior pin attacker Ana Burilovic (Split, Croatia) was selected to the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s (AVCA) All-America Third Team on Wednesday, Dec. 17.
 
Burilovic’s selection makes her the volleyball program’s seventh All-American (sixth athlete), and she collects the fifth presented by the AVCA (since 1981). She becomes the Buffs’ first AVCA All-American since middle blocker Naghede Abu was named to the third team at the conclusion of the 2018 season. The Buffs also boast six previous AVCA All-American honorable mentions and two Volleyball Magazine All-American honorable mentions.
 
“We couldn’t be more proud of Ana’s efforts and achievements this season, and it’s gratifying to see her get the recognition she deserves,” head coach Jesse Mahoney stated. “She has grown into one of the premier six-rotation players in the country.”
 
Last week, Burilovic was named to the AVCA All-West Region First Team for the first time in her career, just a week after being selected to the 2025 All-Big 12 First Team. On Sept. 30, Burilovic was named AVCA Player of the Week and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week after aiding the Buffs in their road sweep over then-No. 14 BYU and then-No. 23 Utah. She was named Big 12 OPOW again on Nov. 4, after leading Colorado’s win over Northern Colorado with 30 kills, hitting .329, nine digs, two blocks and one ace (Oct. 28). At the beginning of the season, Burilovic was selected to the 2025 Preseason Big 12 Team, and she was on the Anteater Classic and Buffs Invitational all-tournament teams.
 
Burilovic led the Big 12 in points per set with 5.47, good for sixth in the NCAA, and in kills per set with 4.71, good for ninth in the country. She was also third in conference for aces per set with 0.43, landing at 46th in the country. In the NCAA, Burilovic was also fifth for total points (656.0), seventh for total attacks (1,424), eighth for total kills (565), 17th for attacks per set (11.87), and 23rd for total aces (51).
 
In her 32 matches in 2025, she has accumulated 565 kills, 211 digs, 51 aces, 64 blocks and 19 assists. Burilovic has four kill-dig double-doubles on the season, now totaling 10 in her career. She has had 13 matches with 20 or more kills this season (a CU VB record). Burilovic surpassed 1,000 career kills at West Virginia, becoming the 19th Buff to total over 1,000 career kills. She now has 1,061 career kills, 521 career digs, 118 career aces and 116 career blocks.
 
At the end of the 2025 season, Burilovic leads the program in rally-scoring era aces with 115, putting her at eighth overall. She is also 15th in CU history for career kills (1,061), and second overall for kills in a single season with 537. Additionally, with two 30-kill matches against UCF (Oct. 2) and at Northern Colorado (Oct. 28), she is only the second player in Colorado Volleyball history to have two matches in a single season with over 30 kills.
 
Fourteen student-athletes across the country were selected to the AVCA All-America Third Team, 14 to the second team and 14 to the first team. Fifty-seven were also named Honorable Mention. A full list of the honorees can be found at avca.org.
 
Under 10th-year head coach Jesse Mahoney, Colorado finished the 2025 season 23-9 and went 12-6 against Big 12 opponents. Coach Mahoney has led the Buffs to a 164-135 record in his 10 seasons at the helm. The Buffs made their 22nd appearance in the NCAA tournament after the conclusion of the regular season, sweeping American in the first round before falling to four-seed Indiana in the second round. The Buffs’ last match against the Hoosiers marks the 12th second round appearance in program history. Colorado has 20 wins this season, marking the program’s 13th 20-win season and its first since 2022. With 23 wins this season, this is the most in a season since 2017 and ties for the third-most wins in a season in program history.
