German Gaming Sector Poised for Explosive Growth to £18.2 Billion Valuation

A leading iGaming company, BtoBet, forecasts that the German gaming sector will hit an astounding £18.2 billion valuation. This projection follows a new interstate gaming agreement slated to take effect in Germany. This agreement will introduce significant transformations for online sports wagering and virtual casinos.

BtoBet posits that this updated regulatory structure has the capacity to propel Germany to the vanguard of the European iGaming landscape. The revised regulations are anticipated to entice legitimate businesses while concurrently tackling concerns regarding unauthorized gaming operations.

Leveraging historical information and prevailing patterns, BtoBet approximates that by 2024, Germany’s internet gaming income will escalate to €3.3 billion, a considerable jump from the €2.2 billion documented in 2019. Factoring in the influence of the COVID-19 crisis, which has fueled a rise in online gaming, BtoBet anticipates the total market volume to hit €18.2 billion by 2024.

Germany, with 83 million inhabitants, possesses the most substantial population within the EU. Research suggests that roughly 20% of Germans participate in some type of gaming. Moreover, the nation’s mobile subscription rate stands at a remarkable 134.7%, accompanied by an increasing number of internet subscribers, presently at 78.81 million. These statistics highlight the vast expansion potential of Germany’s gaming sector.

Reinforcing these projections, information unveiled by the German Betting Association (DSWV) shows a spike in the prevalence of sports wagering. With such a sizable and active population, coupled with an advantageous regulatory climate, the German gaming sector is primed for exceptional growth in the approaching years.

The realm of wagering on athletic contests within this nation has surged dramatically since 2014, amassing a staggering €45.2 billion. This upward trajectory reached its zenith in 2019, with the sector reaping a remarkable €92.8 billion. Despite the unforeseen circumstances of the global health crisis disrupting operations in 2020, the industry still achieved a commendable €77.9 billion.
