Brazil’s online betting market has long been one of the fastest-growing in the world. But the 2026 numbers tell a story that goes beyond growth. The ten largest betting platforms in the country collectively attract more than 1.34 billion visits per month — a figure that exceeds the entire population of Brazil, as if every single Brazilian were visiting each of these platforms once a month.
The data comes from a survey conducted by the Bônus de Apostas portal, which analysed the search behaviour and traffic of Brazilian bettors between March 2024 and March 2026, using Ahrefs and Similarweb as its primary tools.

Betano: a dominant force
The standout finding is Betano’s extraordinary dominance. With 426 million monthly visits, the platform accounts for nearly a third of all traffic across the country’s ten largest sportsbooks — on its own. Superbet follows in second place with 190 million visits, and 7Games completes the podium with 150 million.
The top 10 most visited betting platforms in Brazil — March 2026
| Rank | Platform | Monthly Visits |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Betano | 426 million |
| 2 | Superbet | 190 million |
| 3 | 7Games | 150 million |
| 4 | Brazino777 | 139 million |
| 5 | bet365 | 98 million |
| 6 | Bet7k | 96 million |
| 7 | R7 Bet | 75 million |
| 8 | Cassino Pix | 63 million |
| 9 | Esportes da Sorte | 56 million |
| 10 | Bet da Sorte | 47 million |
Betano, Superbet and 7Games alone generate more than 766 million monthly visits — meaning more than half of all sector traffic passes through just three platforms.
The Brazilian bettor has changed
One of the most significant findings of the study is the shift in how Brazilian users search for betting platforms. In 2024, most Google searches used generic terms — “betting house”, “sports betting”, “online casino”. By 2026, that pattern has become a minority.
Brazilian bettors are now searching directly for platform names. They are not exploring options — they have already decided where they are going. This shift toward what the industry calls “navigational searches” is a clear indicator of market maturity. The average Brazilian bettor today is no longer a curious newcomer discovering the sector. They are someone who knows the brands, has formed preferences, and in most cases has already decided where to deposit before they even open a search engine.
The top 5 brands by search volume — March 2026
| Rank | Brand | Monthly Searches |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Betano | 27.6 million |
| 2 | Bet365 | 12.9 million |
| 3 | Superbet | 9.7 million |
| 4 | Betnacional | 4.9 million |
| 5 | Sportingbet | 2.6 million |
Search and traffic are not the same thing
One of the more surprising findings is the gap between search leadership and traffic leadership. Bet365 is the second most searched brand in Brazil but ranks only fifth in traffic volume. Superbet takes the opposite path — third in searches, second in traffic.
The explanation lies in how these platforms build their audiences. Superbet generates a significant portion of its traffic through sports sponsorships, television, social media and influencer partnerships — channels that bring users directly without requiring a Google search. It is a more expensive acquisition model, but one that builds a more loyal, algorithm-independent user base.
What the bonus ban changed
In January 2025, Brazilian regulations banned welcome bonuses on betting platforms. The impact on search behaviour was immediate — terms like “registration bonus” and “platform that gives bonuses” declined sharply. But interest in bonuses has not disappeared. It has simply moved further down the decision-making journey. Today, a bonus is no longer the reason someone chooses a platform. It is a detail that can tip the balance at the end — but the choice begins with brand trust.
What it means for the market
The Bônus de Apostas study points to a market that is increasingly concentrated and brand-driven. New entrants face a significantly higher barrier to entry than they did two years ago. Good odds and attractive bonuses are no longer enough — a platform needs to be present in the user’s mind before they even open a browser.
For bettors, this concentration has two sides. Established brands tend to offer greater security, support and stability. But reduced competition, historically, has never been good news for consumers. As Brazil’s betting market consolidates around a handful of dominant brands, the importance of choosing platforms that combine scale with genuine player protections — transparency, fair terms and reliable payouts — becomes more important than ever.
