Russian betting operators have released their financial summaries for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The tournament generated record revenue despite a smaller customer base, driven by increased wagering frequency and higher average bet sizes.
OLIMPBET recorded total betting volume surpassing both the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024. The platform saw a 34 percent decline in users compared to 2022 and a 27 percent drop versus Euro 2024. Customer engagement compensated for the smaller audience, with the average number of wagers per user rising to 24.6, up from 15.6 in 2022 and 14.3 during Euro 2024. Liga Stavok reported a 62 percent turnover increase and doubled revenue against the 2022 tournament.
Their average bet size grew by 48 percent while the client base expanded by 1.1 percent.
