550,000 Germans used online betting sites on a weekly basis in 2021. This represents a massive increase: just one year before, there were only 210,000, amounting to an increase of 162%, as shown in a new infographic by Wette.de.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The infographic reveals that real-money betting is by no means a marginal phenomenon, and is enjoying increasing popularity across social classes, age groups and countries. Online gambling revenues in Europe amounted to \u20ac36 billion in 2021, an increase of 18% over the previous year.<\/p>\n

However, according to current forecasts there is still a long way to go. Market observers expect sales to increase by a further 44% to \u20ac52 billion by 2026, starting from 2021.<\/p>\n
