Customer preferences:
Customers in the Americas are increasingly drawn to the convenience and accessibility of online gambling. With the rise of smartphones and high-speed internet, more people are opting to gamble online rather than visit traditional brick-and-mortar casinos.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Online Gambling market in Americas is the legalization and regulation of online gambling in several countries. This trend is driven by the recognition of the economic benefits that online gambling can bring, such as increased tax revenue and job creation. As a result, more countries in the Americas are passing legislation to legalize and regulate online gambling, which is leading to the growth of the market. Another trend in the market is the increasing popularity of online sports betting.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Gambling Revenue (GGR) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies, and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, the urban population, the usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.

Additional notes:

The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.
