Analyst Opinion

The Esports Betting Market in Canada is steadily growing due to factors such as the rising popularity of esports, the increasing use of digital platforms, and the convenience of online betting services. Despite a mild growth rate, factors such as government regulations and competition from traditional sports betting may impact the market's growth.

Customer preferences:

As a result, there has been a shift towards digital platforms for betting, with mobile betting becoming increasingly popular. This is also influenced by the growing use of smartphones and the convenience they offer for placing bets on the go. Additionally, the increasing acceptance of esports as a legitimate form of entertainment has led to a rise in live streaming and online tournaments, providing more opportunities for betting and increasing the overall market size.

This is leading to an increase in the demand for eSports betting, as viewers are looking to engage with the sport and potentially profit from it.

It also presents opportunities for industry stakeholders, such as betting platforms, game publishers, and teams, to capitalize on this growing trend.
