Russian bookmakers received payments from sports players totalling an undisclosed sum in the year 2020.
In a recent study conducted by Dmitry Sergeev, the head of Parimatch in CIS, it has been revealed that Russian residents increased their betting spending in 2020 compared to the previous year. The total amount of funds spent on bets and account replenishment in both online and offline sectors reached 62,692,169,079 rubles more in 2020 than in the same period in 2019.
The betting market in Russia saw a mix of growth and decline among various bookmakers. Fonbet, for instance, experienced a significant 30.6% increase in total funds spent, while Tennisi and Olymp both saw a 1.8% and 29.5% increase respectively. On the other hand, Liga Stavok, Betcity, Mostbet, Leon, and Betboom all witnessed a decrease in spending, with reductions ranging from 4.2% to 54.8%.
Notably, Melbet saw a substantial increase of 1,087,510.5% in total funds spent in 2020 compared to 2019. However, it is unclear whether this is a typo or error in the original data.
The rating includes only bookmakers whose turnover reached 1 billion rubles. Among these, 1xStavka, Vinlin, Marathon, and Parimatch all reported increases in spending, with growth rates of 10.0%, 61.7%, 50.4%, and 104.2% respectively.
It is worth noting that no relevant information was found in the search results regarding which bookmakers in Russia had a turnover volume of more than one million rubles in 2020, nor about how much more customers of these bookmakers donated compared to 2019.
The figures presented are the total amount of funds that bettors spent on bets and account replenishment in both online and offline sectors. As the betting market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these trends develop in the coming years.
