The varied betting possibilities are increasingly present in the daily lives of Brazilian fans and understanding this scenario is crucial for companies operating in the national territory.

The study “Sports Content Consumers”, commissioned from Opinion Box by Resenha Digital Clube, provides an overview of the bookmaker market in Brazil.

Betting companies most remembered by the Brazilian public

The research reveals that in total, nine out of ten people who regularly follow sports content are aware of a betting website or application.

Among the most cited platforms are:

  • Bet365 (66%)
  • Betano (64%)
  • Sportingbet (49%)
  • Blaze (40%)
  • 1xBet (35%)
  • EstrelaBet (34%)
  • Betfair (32%)
  • BetWay (17%)
  • Bodog (13%)
  • Novibet (12%)

However, despite the high level of awareness, 4 out of 10 people still do not consider using these platforms. In other words, this reinforces the idea that the market is still expanding.

Therefore, the analysis found that the intention to use betting platforms is more significant among the male public and in the age group between 30 and 39 years old.

Therefore, within this group, Bet365, Betano and Sportingbet are the favorites, mentioned, respectively, by 43%, 28% and 25% of the sample. Among users who have a habit of playing monthly, 48% spend up to 50 reais monthly on betting.
