1 November 2024 – Esports has experienced explosive growth in Q3 2024, doubling turnover compared to the previous quarter. The average bet on cybersports increased by 17.6% quarter-on-quarter. SOFTSWISS, a global tech expert with over 15 years of experience providing innovative iGaming solutions, shares the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook Q3 2024 report.

The top five sports by Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) remain consistent: Football, Tennis, Basketball, Table Tennis, and eFootball. For the second consecutive quarter, eFootball has outperformed Counter-Strike 2, indicating a shifting interest within the esports sector. Nevertheless, football continues to dominate, contributing nearly half of the total GGR.

The average live bet grew by 10% quarter-on-quarter, a positive development for operators as live bets hold 78.6% of turnover. The SOFTSWISS Sportsbook team is actively enhancing the live betting experience, aiming to capitalise on this trend and provide operators with even greater revenue opportunities.

The average bet grew by 9.7% quarter-on-quarter in Q3 2024, and the number of bets increased by 18.7%. GGR saw a modest growth of 1.5% quarter-on-quarter.

Despite the large number of projects launched for the UEFA Euro 2024, month-on-month statistics show that with the right promotional strategies, projects continue to operate successfully even after such massive events. 

Alexander Kamenetskyi, Head of SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, adds: “Aligning a launch with a major sporting event can be a successful strategy, but football is not the only sport that can be leveraged in this way. The growth of cybersports presents new opportunities; for specialised projects targeting specific audiences, esports events can also serve as an effective starting point. 

We continuously focus on product growth and development, enhancing features and user experience to drive further engagement and profitability for our partners.”

The SOFTSWISS Sportsbook is expanding its global presence. The product team is on track to secure certification in Brazil, conducted by an authorised testing laboratory. Furthermore, for the South African market, the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook has recently integrated a Horse Racing Module. This addition offers operators new business opportunities by covering over 2,400 international and local races monthly. The solution engages players with race cards, silks, and multiple bet types while providing operators unique skins and configurations to align with various brand identities.

The SOFTSWISS team is working on The iGaming Trends Report 2025, which offers a deep dive into key industry developments based on over 50,000 media headlines and insights from industry experts. Covering areas like regulation, marketing, technology, and business growth, this report provides a data-driven perspective on the trends shaping the upcoming year. The SOFTSWISS team shares the possibility of joining the waiting list.

All SOFTSWISS products will be showcased at the final major industry event, SiGMA Europe, at stand 2145.

Since 2018, the KOVO Cup has invited international teams, such as Thailand’s Supreme Chonburi, raising the tournament’s prestige and drawing significant attention from volleyball fans across the country.

Volleyball has been a prominent sport in Korea for decades, with the national teams consistently competing at high levels in major international tournaments like the Olympics and World Championships.

Reflecting on the new partnership, Narek Harutyunyan, CEO at FeedConstruct, stated: “We are thrilled to secure the exclusive international streaming and data rights for all matches of Korea’s Volleyball Leagues and Cup competitions.

Bitblox, the pioneering online software provider behind an innovative new wave of Bitcoin-based titles, has partnered with popular crypto casino and sports betting platform, Betcoin.ag, to bring its innovative price prediction games to a wide new audience.

Known for its signature releases Up or Down? and Up or Down? Turbo – which challenge players to guess whether the price of Bitcoin will rise or fall in a 60 or 20-second window respectively – Bitblox provides a range of products that are both games of skill and games of chance, giving them a unique cross-market appeal that’s proven popular with sports bettors and casino players alike.

Boasting dynamic fixed odds that are tied to the real-time price of Bitcoin, Bitblox’s games aren’t dictated by RNG and therefore offer players a genuine chance of using their understanding of the crypto markets to turn a long-term profit. That said, they’re also highly accessible and require no prior knowledge of Bitcoin, meaning even crypto novices can enjoy their quick-fire betting rounds.

Of course, with Betcoin.ag being one of the industry’s premier cryptocurrency-based online betting platforms, Up or Down? has already established itself as a staple part of the provider’s line-up and Bitblox will continue sharing titles with the site as and when they launch in 2024 and beyond.

As such, both parties are optimistic that the partnership will continue to be a fruitful one going forward – and Betcoin.ag players will also undoubtedly be looking forward to trying exciting upcoming releases such as 3 in a Row and BitSlap when they debut on the platform later this year.

Brandt Page, Chief Executive Officer at Bitblox, said: “We’re very happy to have partnered with BetCoin and have already witnessed a tremendous response to Up or Down? from their players. Over the coming months, we’re looking forward to releasing many more innovative new titles on their platform and hope this will continue to foster interest in the world of crypto-based betting.”

Jessica White, Public Relations Director at Betcoin.ag, said: “With Betcoin being one of the industry’s most popular crypto casino and sports betting sites, we were always going to be a good home for Bitblox content. We really love what the provider is doing with its crypto price prediction games and having seen Up or Down? perform so well, we’re already looking forward to their next release.”
