Sports and betting

Latvia is a hockey country: national team matches, world championships, as well as top leagues in Europe and the NHL consistently form high interest and betting volumes.

In winter, biathlon and ski disciplines are added to hockey; in summer, attention grows to football (Virslīga major league and European cups) and beach volleyball.

Basketball occupies a strong position thanks to the national team and the Latvian-Estonian league; markets for totals, odds and game indicators are in demand.

Locally noticeable are also speedway (Daugavpils), bobsleigh/skeleton (Sigulda) and more and more actively - e-sports.

According to the types of bets, live bets with quick markets (next goal/point, totals by periods) dominate, in the prematch - combined express trains and "both will score."

Players willingly use cash out and statistical markets, and mobile applications provide the bulk of the turnover.

Seasonality is expressed: the peak of hockey is late autumn/spring, football is summer, while basketball and e-sports maintain a stable interest all year round.
