Stellar Gaming report analyses Brazilian bettor profile in 2025
Brazil.– 09 January 2026 – www.zonadeazar.com
The Stellar Gaming 2025 Report provides an in-depth analysis of the demographic characteristics, betting habits and behavioural patterns of Brazilian bettors during the first full year of the newly regulated market. The document offers a comprehensive view of who the bettors are, how they engage with the market and what their participation means for operators, regulators and investors in Brazil’s evolving iGaming ecosystem.
Overview
Stellar Gaming’s research consolidates data from January to September 2025 to build a detailed picture of bettors in Brazil’s legal betting environment. This is the first substantial study since the implementation of the regulatory framework for fixed-odds betting and wider iGaming segments, making it a critical resource for understanding the consumer base. The report includes demographic segmentation, engagement metrics, spending behaviour and insights into motivations that define the typical Brazilian bettor’s relationship with regulated betting products.
Details / Context
According to the report, approximately 25 million active bettors participated in the regulated betting market between January and September 2025. This figure reflects both frequent and occasional participants, underscoring broad market engagement. The estimated Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) reached around BRL 36 billion in this period, positioning Brazil as a leading market in global terms.
The report highlights that roughly 12 % of Brazil’s adult population placed at least one bet during that timeframe, with the average monthly spend indicating that betting is largely viewed as entertainment rather than a financial investment.
A key finding is the dominance of smartphones as the primary access channel, especially during evenings and weekends, illustrating the digital-first nature of contemporary betting behaviour. Football, both domestic and international, emerged as the principal engagement driver, followed by other major sports and live betting opportunities.
Specific Subtopics
Demographic Profile
Male bettors accounted for approximately 68 % of the active bettor population, predominantly engaging in sports betting. Female participation, at 32 %, continues to grow, particularly in areas like online casino and simpler sports betting markets. The report notes a trend of increasing female involvement over time, signalling a shift toward a more balanced demographic mix.
Betting Behaviour
Most bettors place between one and three bets per week, favouring markets they understand and often motivated by the excitement associated with sporting events rather than income expectations. Technical knowledge of odds is generally intermediate, and full awareness of regulated market nuances is still developing among segments of the audience.
Social Dynamics
Social interaction is another distinguishing aspect, with many bettors sharing experiences and insights through messaging groups and social networks, reinforcing community-driven patterns of participation. However, comprehensive understanding of responsible gaming tools remains uneven, despite some progress.
Future Outlook
Stellar Gaming’s analysis extends beyond current figures, projecting continuing trends for Brazil’s betting market. The strong preference for digital platforms suggests that mobile applications will remain central to user participation. Meanwhile, demographic diversification and growth in female participation are expected to support sustained market expansion.
Operators can leverage insights on bettor profiles and motivations to refine product offerings, marketing strategies and customer retention initiatives. On the regulatory side, deeper understanding of bettor behaviour may inform policy decisions aimed at enhancing consumer protection and responsible gambling frameworks.
Together, these insights position Brazil’s regulated betting sector as one of the most dynamic in the region, driven by a diverse, connected and increasingly engaged source of consumers.
