SOFTSWISS Researches Popularity of Crypto in iGaming Market

As technology advances, cryptocurrencies become more and more popular. According to the recent SOFTSWISS research, in 2023 the number of people who use crypto to place their bets increased by more than 20%.

Changes in the iGaming landscape

time_to_invest_in_crypt_softswiss_2023_igaming_market_overview (1)Current predictions say that by 2030 the iGaming market will double, and the estimated compound annual growth rate would be 11.7%. When it comes to revenue, it is estimated that it will reach 140 billion euros.

SOFTSWISS, one of the leaders in the field of crypto iGaming software development, researched the crypto market and gathered data from more than 600 brands. According to the research, the iGaming market is thriving on a global level – Total Bet Sum recorded annual growth of 38.2%, while Total Bet Count increased by 51.2%.

However, the average bet decreased, and one of the main reasons is an expansion of iGaming across smaller markets, so the decrease is more significant in markets such as Latin America and Africa. On top of that, increased internet availability across the globe, as well as incorporating modern technologies, affected the final result. Another important factor is the growing popularity of iGaming among players under 30, who have limited budgets.

As the research, which began in 2022, has proven, fiat bets are still more popular, and their number is growing faster than crypto bets. Crypto Bet Sum increased by 8.2% in Q4 of 2023, and Fiat Bet Sum recorded an increase of 16.4% annually. Crypto bets were 27.5% of Total Bets Sum in 2023, which is a decrease of 3.9 p.p.

Comparing 2023 to 2022, the Crypto Bet Sum increased by 21.1%, while the Crypto Bet Count increased by 50.5%.

Vitali Matsukevich, Chief Operating Officer at SOFTSWISS, commented: “The advantages of employing digital currencies, such as swift transactions and anonymity, are key drivers for many players. Given these dynamics, the market demands expanding iGaming projects’ opportunities for crypto players. The in-game currency conversion, for example, allows operators to engage players with cryptocurrency assets in games initially designed for fiat transactions. The projects that embrace such possibilities continue gaining more advantageous market positions.”

Most popular cryptocurrencies

In 2023, the average fiat bet was around 0.82 euros, and the crypto bet has been fluctuating between 1.59 and 1.88 euros, but it was more stable than it was in 2022.

The most popular cryptocurrencies in 2023 were Bitcoin (73.3%), Ethereum (9.9%), Litecoin (6.6%), Tether (4.6%), and Dogecoin (3.1%).

Bitcoin is still the most popular cryptocurrency, but compared to the third quarter of 2023, it decreased by 5.7 p.p. On the other hand, Ethereum grew by 4.7 p.p. and Litecoin increased by 2.2 p.p.

Matsukevich commented on this: “The digital currencies market is rapidly expanding, with estimates showing over 50% growth in capitalization in 2023. Despite the risks caused by the high volatility of crypto and its dependence on various factors, using it can bring extra profits for operators. The iGaming industry is promising for investments due to growth in both fiat and crypto markets, but success depends on trustworthy and experienced partners.”
