The sports betting market faced setbacks in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak, leading to widespread event cancellations and postponements. For example, international tennis tournaments in China were canceled, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics were postponed to 2021, and the Maybank Championship in golf was delayed. These disruptions had a detrimental effect on the market in the region during 2020. However, with the onset of vaccination campaigns and the reopening of the venues, the market experienced a resurgence in the first half of 2021. Additionally, the growing demand for online services is anticipated to drive online sports betting market growth in the forecast period.
The digital revolution is a key factor driving the market growth. In 2021, the global Internet penetration rate was over 63%, with APAC being the leader in terms of the volume of Internet users. With the recent global digital revolution, cloud platforms are being preferred for storing data, and there has been a burgeoning increase in online transactions and payments among commercial as well as retail users. Also, there has been a significant increase in the consumption of digital content in the last five years, with the growing Internet speed.
With extensive digitalization, the sports betting landscape has fundamentally changed, and the global sports betting market has shifted toward online or virtual applications and platforms. Modern consumers can easily engage in sports betting and conveniently connect with sportsbooks due to easy access to the Internet and the availability of various mobile apps and online platforms. Also, online and virtual sports betting platforms are equipped with advanced statistics and innovative graphics that attract end-users. Therefore, the digital revolution is expected to increase the popularity of sports betting and eventually drive the global online sports betting market during the forecast period.
The emergence of machine learning is one of the major sports betting market trends. A key trend in the global market is the growing impact of technology, particularly blockchain, virtual reality, and AI, including machine learning. Major vendors are investing in machine learning for predictive algorithms to enhance betting efficiency. With machine learning, sports event outcomes are increasingly predictable. The future may see automated tools and robots dominating the market, driven by massive data analysis. This shift is expected to benefit the market.
Scandals and illegal practices in betting is a key factor hindering the growth of the sports betting market. The recent legalization of sports betting in the US has led to a focus on preventing corruption. Match-fixing scandals have arisen, leading to efforts to identify and prevent fraud. Sportradar's Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS) helps monitor sports integrity, with football being the most susceptible. The illegal betting market also poses a challenge to the global sports betting industry. Security and credibility issues in online sports betting, including a lack of dispute resolution frameworks, transparency, and responsible gaming standards, further hinder market growth. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities in online platforms are also a concern, making security and credibility key issues for the online sports betting market's future.

Basketball betting can be done in many ways, including straight-up bets, point spreads, and over/under bets through online and offline channels.
