The global sports betting industry is estimated to be worth a whopping $3 trillion, although illegal sports betting makes up over half of that figure. Which sports are people betting on most? Here is a look at the top five.

5. Cricket

The fifth-most wagered-on sport in the world is cricket. To give you an idea of how much is bet upon the game, consider the match between India and Bangladesh in the 2019 Cricket World Cup. On just one legal betting platform in England, a staggering £17 million, which is around $22 million, was bet on that game alone. On the same betting website, £71 million was matched in bets on the 2019 Indian Premier League final, which saw the Mumbai Indians defeat the Chennai Super Kings. If you are a cricket enthusiast, you can play a variety of cricket video games, like Ashes Cricket, Cricket 2019, and Don Bradman Cricket 17. There are even cricket slots available, like the fabulous Cricket Star. Swing the bat to get over 40 wilds to boost the game and multiply wins with free spins. You can play Cricket Star, and a variety of other casino games, at this NZ friendly casino.

4. Tennis

Tennis is the most popular individual sport on the planet. And the sheer number of tennis tournaments held each year will have something to do with why tennis is the fourth-most wagered on sport in the world. The International Tennis Federation holds around 1,500 tournaments each year, which comprise of about 93,000 matches. So, there is always a game for tennis fans to bet on. The Wimbledon tournament in England is the most prestigious competition of the tennis year. More than 1 billion people tune in to Wimbledon at some point during the competition. In the UK, when Scot Andy Murray made it to the Wimbledon final for the first time in 2012, the bookmakers Betfair saw their largest ever market. Over £58 million was bet on the game.

3. Basketball

The third-most-popular sport betted on in the world is basketball. According to the American Gaming Association, around $10 billion is wagered on the single-elimination tournament March Madness, in which 68 teams battle it out over seven rounds in a month with the hope of becoming national champions. However, that number considers both legal and illegal betting. It is thought only around 3% of that $10 billion figure is wagered legally. According to gaming analysts Eilers & Krejcik, if all 50 US states had legal online sports betting, sportsbooks would handle around $15.2 billion of total legal bets for March Madness alone. Eilers & Krejcik also predict as many as 39 states could have legal sports betting by 2023.
