The Online Gambling Quarterly Magazine – Summer 2025 edition was just released. The new edition focuses on the markets in Asia. In many analyses, we look at the following countries: Japan, India, Australia, and Philippines. Below are some of the key takeaways of the current edition.

Key insights of the Online Gambling Quarterly Magazine – Summer 2025 edition

  • Business climate dropped – In Q2/2025; the share of respondents rating the climate as “poor” jumped significantly to 23%, the highest level since Covid in summer 2020. There appears to be an increasing gap, with one side experiencing “poor” business conditions and the other side flourishing, having a “good” time (regulated vs. “black” market?).
  • Bet365 hands over to Stake– Stake seems to take over the role of Bet365 as the ever-leading top of the class. We have already seen this happening in the last surveys, which focused on Europe. However, we were surprised to see the same trend (even more drastic) in Asia; Bet365 did not even make it in the top 10.
  • Future Winners: com and Sportsbet.io take the top spots in Asia.
  • Crypto gambling is going strong – In the past, the growth potential of crypto gambling was heavily dependent on the overall cryptocurrency hype and its fluctuations. However, with Stake and other crypto-focused operators dominating many gambling markets, the relevance has now become a reality:
  • Affiliate Marketing:Bet365 and 1xBet are the top advertisers on affiliate websites in Asia.
  • SEO Success: In the realm of SEO marketing in Asia, 1xBet leads for betting-related content, Stake holds the top spot for casino-related SEO.
