Crypto gambling growth is no longer just a buzzword. According to the latest Q2 2025 industry survey, it’s now a defining market trend in Asia. Operators like Stake.com and Sportsbet.io are expected to pull ahead over the next 12 months.

• Stake.com and Sportsbet.io are seen as the top operators for revenue growth in Asia over the coming year. Both platforms are crypto-focused, marking a clear shift from more traditional operators. Stake.com, in particular, is replacing Bet365 as the perceived market leader in the region.

• Bet365, once dominant in Asia, didn’t make the top 10 in this survey. Its exit from China and refocus on regulated markets may be a reason for the drop. Nonetheless, the shift highlights how crypto gambling growth is shaping regional dynamics.

• Other operators with strong growth potential include 1xBet, Betsson, and 10cric, though not at the same level as Stake or Sportsbet.io. Brands like Parimatch and 888 also made the rankings, but further down the list. The survey did not include U.S. or LatAm operators this time.

• On the low-growth side, brands such as Yuugado, Casitabi, and VeraJohn were ranked with only “very small” to “small” growth prospects. These operators weren’t even featured in the main chart. Their low projections contrast sharply with the bullish outlook for crypto-led brands.

• The study also evaluated product trends expected to shape the next year. Crypto gambling landed in the top three for growth potential, up from past surveys where it lagged due to market volatility. This reflects the rising mainstream appeal and sustained momentum of crypto platforms.
