Global Live Betting Insights: A Rapidly Expanding Industry
Live betting, where wagers are placed during ongoing sports events, now accounts for over 70% of all online bets in Europe and is gaining momentum in North America following the legalization of sports betting in the U.S. The industry is projected to exceed $150 billion in global revenue by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 8.5% in New Zealand alone.
New Zealand's market is shifting rapidly toward mobile betting, with 72% of all bets placed via smartphones. Rugby, cricket, and horse racing remain the most popular sports for live wagering, with rugby alone making up 38% of total live bets in the country. RTP rates for live sports betting in New Zealand range from 90% to 95%, varying based on the sport and betting market. Visit our blog here to learn more about that.
Expert Insights on the Future of Live Betting
According to industry experts, micro-betting—where users place wagers on in-game events such as the next point in tennis or the next boundary in cricket—is emerging as a key driver of engagement among younger bettors. This trend is fueled by advancements in real-time data processing and mobile betting technology, allowing for a more interactive and immersive wagering experience.
Additionally, the New Zealand government is expected to introduce stricter regulations on offshore betting platforms to ensure fair play, enhance consumer protection, and promote responsible gambling measures.
These regulatory changes could reshape the market by encouraging more transparency and accountability among operators while providing bettors with safer and more reliable options.
