The crypto casino industry experienced remarkable growth in 2024, generating $81.4 billion in gross gaming revenue (GGR), a fivefold increase from 2022. This surge is largely driven by the accessibility of unregulated offshore platforms, with players often using VPNs to access sites such as Stake, Rollbit, and Roobet despite most countries banning crypto gambling. In parallel, esports betting also saw substantial growth, with the betting volume doubling year-on-year from 2023, according to the esports betting ecosystem Oddin.gg. Additionally, the market for Counter-Strike skins reached a $4.5 billion market capitalization, surpassing the total market cap of all NFTs by 1.5 times. Globally, gambling revenue leaders in 2025 include the United States at $121.3 billion, the United Kingdom at $28.86 billion, Germany at $23.04 billion, and Macau, which out-earns most with $29 billion in revenue.
