The Trillion USD Market
Hyperbet is not targeting a niche.
It is positioning itself at the intersection of one of the largest consumer industries in the world and a structural shift toward decentralised, on-chain infrastructure.
Online gambling, prediction markets, and user-generated gaming are converging — and the resulting market is massive.
The Global Gambling Market
The global gambling industry is one of the largest and most resilient markets worldwide.
Total global gambling market: $500B+ annually
Online gambling: $100B+ annually
Strong long-term growth, driven by mobile, emerging markets, and digital payments
Online gambling alone serves hundreds of millions of users globally, with strong engagement, repeat usage, and high lifetime value.
Yet despite its size, the industry remains:
highly centralised
opaque
restricted by geography and intermediaries
This creates the perfect conditions for disruption.
The Shift from Web2 Casinos to On-Chain Gaming
Web2 gambling platforms operate as closed systems:
the operator controls the games
the operator controls payouts
users must trust the platform
On-chain gaming introduces a fundamentally different model:
game logic is transparent
payouts are enforced by smart contracts
users retain custody of funds
ecosystems can be global by default
Hyperbet sits directly at this transition point — not as a single casino, but as infrastructure.
Infrastructure businesses capture orders of magnitude more value than individual products.
User-Generated Games: A New Market Layer
One of Hyperbet’s most important expansions of market size comes from user-generated games.
Traditionally:
games are built by studios
production cycles are slow
innovation is limited to a few actors
Hyperbet introduces:
AI-powered game creation
permissionless publishing
community-driven discovery
This mirrors what happened in:
YouTube (user-generated video)
Roblox (user-generated games)
DeFi (user-generated financial primitives)
User-generated ecosystems consistently outperform closed platforms in scale, diversity, and longevity.
Prediction Markets: Betting on Everything
Prediction markets are one of the fastest-growing segments of online betting.
They expand the addressable market far beyond casinos and sports:
financial events
crypto milestones
global politics
cultural outcomes
community challenges
Unlike traditional betting:
markets are created by users
odds are formed by participation
the “house” disappears
This transforms gambling from a product into a marketplace of beliefs.
Hyperbet’s early integration of prediction markets significantly increases its addressable market — and positions it for future relevance as these markets grow.
Web3 as a Global Distribution Layer
Crypto and Web3 unlock users that Web2 gambling often cannot reach:
global wallets, not bank accounts
borderless participation
instant settlement
composable integrations
With hundreds of millions of crypto users worldwide and growing adoption in emerging markets, Web3 acts as a distribution multiplier for gaming platforms.
Hyperbet is built natively for this environment:
wallet-based
multi-chain
modular
infrastructure-first
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
When combining Hyperbet’s core verticals, the opportunity becomes clear:
Online gambling & casino
User-generated gaming platforms
Prediction markets
On-chain betting infrastructure
Together, these represent a multi-hundred-billion-dollar market today, with a clear path toward trillion-dollar scale as decentralised infrastructure replaces closed systems.
Hyperbet is not competing for a slice of one casino market.
It is positioning itself as the on-chain layer powering many of them.
Why Hyperbet Is Positioned to Capture This Market
Hyperbet’s market positioning is unusually strong because it combines:
Proven industry execution (GeniusBet & GoldenRace)
AI-driven scalability (game creation and automation)
Decentralised ownership models (players, builders, liquidity)
Early entry into prediction markets
Infrastructure mindset instead of product mindset
This combination is rare — and difficult to replicate.
The Long-Term Opportunity
The long-term opportunity for Hyperbet is not just growth in users — but growth in what Hyperbet powers.
As more games, markets, frontends, and communities are built on top of its infrastructure, Hyperbet becomes:
harder to replace
more valuable with scale
deeply embedded into the Web3 gaming stack
This is how large, defensible platforms are built.
