Abios Launches Esports Tournament Guide for 2025
Abios, part of the Kambi Group, releases an esports tournament guide for operators looking to stay ahead in esports, complete with tournament, betting and player insights for 2025.
Abios, a global leader in esports data and odds provision and part of the Kambi Group, has published a guide to the tournament circuits of top esports titles as part of its mission to help operators to get ahead in esports.
Counter-Strike, League of Legends, Dota 2 and VALORANT each have distinct yearly tournament circuits, with top players and teams competing for millions of dollars in prize pools. By delivering stats and an overview of each Abios aims to provide a useful tool with which operators can plan and set their targets for 2025.
Esports allows sportsbooks and fantasy providers to tap into an audience weighted toward Gen Z, allowing for differentiation and diversification of audiences leaning toward sports such as football, basketball or tennis. Additionally, titles such as Counter-Strike provide a consistent schedule of tier-1 tournaments throughout the year, allowing for steadier revenue streams for operators looking to diversify their sports portfolio.
A packed calendar and growing audiences mean esports can provide operators with an avenue for meaningful growth. The esports betting market was valued at $2.5 billion in 2024. With estimated growth rates of 7.27%, it is poised to reach $3.3 billion by 2028, according to Statista Market Insights.
Anton Janér, Managing Director and Founder at Abios: ”Similar to traditional sports, each esports title has a schedule of tournaments, popular teams, and talented players that draw bettors to your sportsbook. Get the information you need to stay on top of esports in 2025 with Abios’ guide.”
Abios powers partners worldwide with data, odds, and statistics for top esports titles. This is enabled by access to a proprietary esports database housing 50 billion data points and betting insights from over 50 operators powered by the Kambi network.

ATG Releases its Channeling Report for the Third Quarter of 2024
ATG has released its channeling report for the third quarter of 2024.
The report, which covers the time period from the first quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2024, highlights a worrying situation in the gaming industry. It shows that there is still a large proportion of gambling activities that take place outside the regulated system.
The purpose of the report is to increase knowledge about unlicensed gambling in Sweden. Through a better understanding of its scope and development, ATG wants to contribute to ensuring that the right measures are taken, so that the licensed gambling can out-compete the unlicensed and thus increase the channelisation rate.
The channelisation rate for games in the third quarter of 2024 is estimated at 70–82%, which is to be compared with the government’s goal for games with licensed operators of 90%. The ratio has stabilised somewhat compared to the previous quarter, but the long-term trend is still downward.
The result is alarming because unlicensed gambling is more likely to be linked to problem gambling.
“Unlicensed gambling is estimated to have a gross turnover of up to SEK 150 billion – equivalent to the cost of the entire Swedish primary school. To simultaneously make such high demands on us licensed gambling companies, while these enormous sums escape regulation and control, is both unreasonable and counterproductive,” said ATG CEO Hasse Lord Skarplöth.
Other key findings in the report for the third quarter:
Visitor traffic from Sweden to unlicensed companies has increased tenfold since 2019.
18 of the 20 unlicensed sites with the largest visitor traffic during the quarter had the same platform providers as the companies within the license system.
Only two of the 20 unlicensed sites were on the Spelinspektionen’s ban list.
