In these analyses, the OGQ takes an in-depth look at the following topic: Growth potential of key online gambling markets – Western Europe focus – survey results Q4 2025. The data research is built around survey-based growth expectations, comparing how insiders rate different regions and selected Western European countries. It also maps how participants think Western Europe’s overall relevance will shift for their own business over the next year. Together, the charts show sentiment trends, relative positioning, and how stable expectations look across markets.

Growth potential of selected global regions – Survey results Q4/2025

The chart shows how surveyed experts rate the next-12-month growth potential across major regions. Overall sentiment is fairly cautious, with clear separation between the most promising areas and mature markets.

  • Top performers are led by LatAm, which stands out as the strongest growth story in this ranking. Africa stays close behind, still seen as a high-upside region.

  • Stable expectations dominate the picture, with most regions grouped around modest growth rather than big swings.

  • Europe’s position remains at the lower end, with both Eastern and Western Europe rated weakest. Even so, this reads like maturity and regulation pressure, not a lack of activity.

Growth potential of key Western European online gambling markets – Survey results Q4/2025

This chart compares growth potential across key Western European markets within the next 12 months. The main takeaway is that expectations are positive but contained, with countries sitting close together.

  • Top performers are Spain and Italy, which sit at the upper end of the Western Europe pack. They look like the clearest “best of the bunch” markets right now.

  • Lowest-ranked markets include the UK and Germany, which sit at the bottom of this comparison. The relative gap suggests more headwinds or fewer near-term catalysts there.
