Sports betting is an activity of foretelling sports results and placing a bet on the result. Most bets are placed on sports, such as football, baseball, basketball, hockey, cricket, boxing, and auto racing. However, sports betting also extends to non-athletic events, such as horse racing and eSports

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of sports events, which reduced sports betting opportunities. However, the sports betting industry is expected to witness lesser financial damage compared to other industries. As a result of the lockdown of land-based betting facilities, many customers/bettors shifted to online betting platforms. During lockdowns, the online sports betting industry witnessed an increase in participation as users had more time to spare on their phones and desktop computers, making it convenient for them to place bets.

The market has also benefitted from the growth in internet penetration, which is driving increased investments in online sports betting platforms. For instance, according to Global Social Media Overview April 2021 by DataReportal, there are more than 4.8 billion internet users across the world. Participation in online betting permits players to monitor betting activities in real-time through internet-connected devices.

Sports betting platform providers are investing in research & development activities to introduce innovations in the market and offer a better experience to users. Additionally, the growing competition is driving innovations in the sports market.
