iGaming Platform Market Forecast To Reach $248 Billion

Research And Markets has put a large number on iGaming platform growth, but the useful part is the direction of travel: more regulated markets, more mobile betting, and heavier supplier investment.

Good to know

• The report values the iGaming platform market at $130.52 billion in 2026.
• It forecasts $248.95 billion by 2030, equal to a 17.5 percent CAGR.
• North America ranked as the largest region in 2025, while Asia Pacific is forecast as the fastest growing.

iGaming Platform Forecast Points To Faster Tech Spending

The Business Research Company report, distributed by Research And Markets on July 1, 2026, says the global iGaming platform market grew from $110.8 billion in 2025 to $130.52 billion in 2026. It then projects the market to reach $248.95 billion by 2030.

Those numbers sit above some other online gambling market forecasts, which is worth noting because research houses often define the sector differently. Some reports count only gambling revenue. Others include platform software, sportsbook systems, player account tools, aggregators, lottery products, bingo, and esports betting infrastructure. That wider platform definition helps explain the larger figure.

The growth case is familiar but still strong. Smartphone adoption, faster internet, digital payments, cloud based gaming systems, and the wider acceptance of online casino and sports betting all support platform demand. The forecast also leans on AI personalisation, mobile first gaming, live dealer streaming, crypto payment processing, and cloud native architecture.

Cost pressure runs beside that growth. The report says tariffs have had a moderate effect by increasing the cost of imported IT infrastructure and data centre hardware, especially for providers using cross border technology imports in Asia Pacific and parts of Europe. That can push more operators toward cloud hosting and regional data setups.

Supplier activity already shows the same pattern. Gaming Innovation Group launched CoreX and SportX in January 2024 for operators active across multiple regulated markets. Consolidation has also picked up. Apollo completed its all cash acquisition of IGT Gaming and Digital and Everi on July 1, 2025, creating a combined business operating under the IGT name in a deal valued around $6.3 billion.

The report lists IGT, Light & Wonder, Evolution AB, Playtech, and Games Global among the largest suppliers, alongside EveryMatrix, Pragmatic Play, Bragg Gaming, and Relax Gaming. Casino platform providers remain the most widely adopted segment, but sportsbook platforms, player account management systems, aggregators, lottery and bingo platforms, and esports betting tools all sit inside the broader market.

North America leads today because regulated online betting and casino activity has grown across US states and Canada. Asia Pacific gets the fastest growth label, although that region remains uneven because local gambling laws vary widely by market.
