The worldwide appeal of sports serves as a pivotal catalyst for the growing sports betting industry. Major sports such as football (soccer), basketball, cricket, and tennis possess a vast fan base that stretch across the globe. These sports are supported by established professional leagues and tournaments that capture the attention of millions of viewers and participants alike. For instance, global events such as the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics draw enormous interest and promote significant betting activities. Additionally, the emergence of regional leagues such as the Indian Premier League (IPL) for cricket and English Premier League (EPL) for football, further create a positive sports betting market forecast. With the growing availability of sports content via streaming services and social media platforms, an increasing number of individuals are engaging in following and betting on sports events. According to a research report by GITNUX, 26% of the sport industry revenue globally is received from media and sponsorship money.
