DATA.BET has reported a significant increase in esports betting performance in the third quarter of 2025.
The results demonstrate sustained market demand, disciplined trading operations, and growing player engagement across partner platforms, leading to revenue growth and commercial performance for DATA.BET.
In the third quarter of 2025, esports delivered strong results across all major performance indicators. Compared to Q3 2024, the stake volume improved by 60 per cent, while total profit grew by 79 per cent, supported by a 12 per cent improvement in margin efficiency. Player activity also strengthened, with the total number of placed bets up by 33 per cent, and multiples seeing a rise of 53 per cent. The active player base expanded by 126 per cent, and the average bet size increased by 22 per cent, indicating higher confidence and deeper involvement from users.
Across major esports titles, performance dynamics show how player preferences and event availability shaped the quarter. CS2 maintained its position as the leading discipline, with results including a 26.7 per cent uplift in turnover and a 55 per cent growth in profit, while the number of bets grew moderately by 2.5 per cent. League of Legends demonstrated significant momentum, moving from the fourth to the second most popular discipline, overtaking Dota 2. Turnover increased by 290 per cent, profit by 416 per cent, and the number of bets by 221 per cent. Rainbow Six also strengthened its position within the top five disciplines due to broader coverage and regional expansion across LatAm, leading to a 126 per cent enhance in turnover, a 504 per cent jump in profit, a 12.4 per cent rise in bets placed, and a 100 per cent expansion in match coverage.
According to Bohdan Holovnov, head of Esports at DATA.BET, this performance is linked to deliberate product and trading enhancements aligned with player behaviour:
We focused on improving uptime for the most popular in-play markets, including ‘Map – Total Kills’, ‘Map – Duration’, ‘Map – Winner’, and ‘Player – Total Deaths‘, especially in late-game phases where engagement peaks. This applies to both shooters and MOBA titles. Additionally, interval-based kill markets were introduced in League of Legends and Dota 2, enabling more frequent and dynamic betting opportunities.
Another major driver was the expansion of Player Props across all top-tier disciplines, including CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends, and Valorant, in both pre-match and live formats. In shooters, ‘Total Deaths’ became a standout exclusive market, while official data coverage allowed us to expand Player Props across all tiers as well. This combination boosts both activity and margin efficiency across our clients.
This upward movement is not only reflected year over year, but also quarter-to-quarter growth, with a profit percentage up by 13 per cent compared to Q2 2025. This consistency highlights both sustained user interest and the stability of DATA.BET’s esports offering, even after expanding into sports betting in June 2025.
Bohdan Holovnov mentioned:
Esports has proven its strength and reliability as a betting vertical. Quarter after quarter, we see steady engagement, growing turnover, and tangible revenue impact for operators. We’re pleased with the performance and even more excited about the momentum ahead, and we are scaling it together with our partners.
