Analyst Opinion

The Online Sports Betting market in Greece has seen significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences, global trends, and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences:
Greek consumers have shown a growing interest in online sports betting, with many opting for the convenience and accessibility it offers. The ability to place bets from the comfort of their own homes or on-the-go through mobile devices has greatly appealed to customers. Additionally, the wide range of sports and betting options available online has attracted a diverse customer base, catering to different interests and preferences.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Greek online sports betting market is the increasing adoption of mobile betting. With the widespread use of smartphones and the availability of mobile betting apps, customers are now able to place bets anytime and anywhere. This trend has been further accelerated by the growing popularity of live betting, where customers can place bets in real-time as they watch the sporting events unfold. The combination of mobile betting and live betting has created an immersive and interactive experience for customers, enhancing their overall engagement with online sports betting platforms. Another trend in the market is the integration of social media and online sports betting. Many online sports betting platforms in Greece have embraced social media platforms as a way to engage with customers and enhance their betting experience. Through social media, customers can receive real-time updates, access exclusive promotions, and interact with other bettors. This integration of social media has not only increased customer engagement but also helped to attract a younger demographic to the online sports betting market.

Local special circumstances:
Greece has a rich sporting culture, with a strong passion for sports such as football, basketball, and tennis. This love for sports has translated into a high demand for sports betting, both offline and online. The legalization and regulation of online sports betting in Greece have provided a safe and regulated environment for customers to participate in this popular activity. The Greek government has also implemented measures to ensure responsible gambling, such as setting limits on betting amounts and promoting awareness of gambling addiction.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Greek economy has faced significant challenges in recent years, with periods of recession and financial instability. This has led to increased interest in online sports betting as a potential source of additional income for some individuals. The allure of potentially winning money through sports betting has attracted customers who are seeking alternative means of generating income. Additionally, the relatively low cost of entry into online sports betting has made it accessible to a wide range of customers, further contributing to its growth in Greece. In conclusion, the Online Sports Betting market in Greece has experienced notable growth due to changing customer preferences, global trends such as mobile betting and social media integration, as well as local special circumstances such as the country's sporting culture and the need for additional income. These factors, combined with the underlying macroeconomic conditions, have created a favorable environment for the development and expansion of the online sports betting market in Greece.

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.
