Global online betting markets show growth in Australia, Canada, and Kenya

The online gaming and sports betting landscape is seeing significant activity across several regions heading into 2026. In Australia, interest is high for the NRL season, with bettors focusing on licensed bookmakers, in-play betting, and secure payment methods like PayID.

In Canada, the market has evolved following the 2021 legalization of single-event sports betting. Canadian platforms are increasingly offering diverse games, mobile-friendly interfaces, and various payment options including Visa, Mastercard, and e-wallets.

In Kenya, mobile gaming is a dominant force. Platforms like Mbogibet and Betfalme are gaining traction by offering crash-style games, live dealer options, and integration with local payment services like M-Pesa. The Aviator app has also emerged as a popular choice for mobile users seeking fast-paced gameplay.
