(Lisboa).- Atlaslive, a premier iGaming platform provider, released a comprehensive analysis of the European gambling market transformation, revealing that the industry's €123.4 billion revenue base is undergoing unprecedented digital evolution.

The analysis, based on latest market intelligence from European Gaming & Betting Association in partnership with H2 Gambling Capital, identifies mobile gaming as the dominant force reshaping player engagement across the continent.
Mobile Revolution Drives Market Transformation
Atlaslive’s latest analysis shows that mobile devices now account for 58% of Europe’s online gambling revenue in 2024, with forecasts projecting this figure to rise to 67% by 2029. This mobile-first shift marks a significant transformation in the industry, demanding a strategic rethink in platform development and player acquisition.
“The data makes it clear: the future of European gambling is mobile-first,” said Anastasiia Poltavets, CMO at Atlaslive. “Operators who don’t prioritize mobile optimization and seamless user experience risk falling behind in a market where player expectations have drastically evolved.”
Online Gambling Accelerates Toward 45% Market Share
The analysis identifies online gambling as the clear growth engine of the European market, with digital channels expected to command 45% of total gambling revenue by 2029, up from 39% in 2024. This €66.8 billion online market projection represents a 6.9% compound annual growth rate, significantly outpacing the 1.8% growth expected in land-based gambling.
Key growth drivers identified by Atlaslive include:
● Casino games leading digital adoption: €21.5 billion in 2024, growing to €30.8 billion by 2029
● Sports betting momentum: €13.7 billion online revenue with 6.9% annual growth trajectory
● Lottery digital transformation: Strongest growth potential at 7.7% annually, reaching €10.4 billion by 2029
Geographic Disparities Signal Untapped Opportunities
Country-by-country analysis reveals significant market maturity variations across Europe, presenting strategic opportunities for technology providers and operators.
Digital Leaders:
● Sweden: 68.3% online share
● Finland and Denmark: Both at 68.1% online share
● Strong mobile adoption and regulatory frameworks driving digital-first engagement
Growth Markets:
● Italy: Europe's largest market at €21.0 billion with only 21.7% online penetration
● Germany: €14.4 billion market with 22.6% online share indicating substantial digital expansion potential
● France: €14.0 billion market with significant room for online growth
Strategic Implications for Industry Stakeholders
The Atlaslive analysis identifies several critical success factors for market participants:
For Operators:
● Mobile-native platform architecture becomes non-negotiable
● Omnichannel integration essential for capturing cross-platform player value
● Geographic expansion strategies should prioritize markets with low online penetration
For Technology Providers:
● Platform scalability must accommodate sustained high-growth environments
● Cross-jurisdictional compliance capabilities increasingly valuable
● Mobile-first development methodologies essential for competitive positioning
Market Resilience Demonstrates Industry Maturity
Despite digital transformation, analysis confirms the continued relevance of land-based gambling, which maintains €75.5 billion in 2024 revenue and projects steady 1.8% annual growth. This dual-track evolution demonstrates industry maturity and the enduring appeal of gambling experiences.
"The European gambling market is demonstrating remarkable sophistication in its evolution," added Anastasiia Poltavets. "Rather than simple digital displacement, we're witnessing the emergence of a truly integrated ecosystem where online and land-based channels complement and enhance each other."
