The company\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paysafe.com%2Fen%2Fall-the-ways-players-pay-world-cup-2026-edition%2F&amp;esheet=54396541&amp;newsitemid=20260114646389&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=All+the+Ways+Players+Pay%3A+World+Cup+2026&amp;index=2&amp;md5=ff546c606ff3759119bc0658f216d2c6\"><i>All the Ways Players Pay: World Cup 2026<\/i><\/a> report also indicates that brand reputation and offering flexible, reliable payments will be crucial for online sportsbooks when converting and retaining new and experienced bettors alike.<\/p>\n<p>\nWith the World Cup returning to North America for the first time since 1994, there is strong appetite for online wagering in the host countries of the U.S., Mexico, and Canada as well as in Europe and Latin America, with 60% of global fans planning to bet. Across U.S. states where sports betting is legal, 62% intend to wager, with 29% placing their first ever bet. The surge is expected to be even stronger in Mexico, with 68% planning to wager, including 26% for the first time. And even in Canada, 46% of Ontarians expect to wager, with 9% newbies.<\/p>\n<p>\nThere\u2019s equally robust interest internationally, especially in the recently regulated markets of Brazil (66% plan to bet) and, above all, Peru (85%). Appetite is also high in mature European jurisdictions like Italy (64%) and the U.K. (60%).<\/p>\n<p>\nOperators can best position their sportsbook to convert bettors by focusing on their brand reputation and payment stacks. When players select a sportsbook for the World Cup, brand trust is paramount (prioritized by 38%), but rapid payouts (a factor for 33%) trump everything else, including odds, promos, UX, and sports markets\/events. And in some markets like Peru, bettors consider cashing-out quickly (38%) even more important than a sportsbook\u2019s reputation (34%).<\/p>\n<p>\nOther payment factors are almost as crucial in sportsbook choice, with 24% of global bettors prioritizing rapid deposits and 22% the availability of preferred payment methods.<\/p>\n<p>\nAhead of the World Cup, there\u2019s a strong impetus for operators to maximize payment choice. Although debit cards are the top preference globally (a preference for 39%) \u2013 trending even higher in markets that restrict credit cards like the U.K. (53%) and the U.S. state of Massachusetts (56%) \u2013 alternative payment methods (APMs) are highly popular.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile some APMs like eCash remain relatively niche (a preference for 17%), 27% of players prefer pay-by-bank or other bank transfer options and 25% favor digital wallets. Wallets are today the top choice of all in some markets like Peru (a preference for 36%).<\/p>\n<p>\nPayment localization appears key across all markets, with 19% favoring a local payment method (LPM). This trends higher in markets with strong LPM brands like Brazil, where the central bank\u2019s Pix instant-payment solution will be bettors\u2019 go-to choice (48%).<\/p>\n<p>\nWith the tournament lasting five weeks, it\u2019s essential for operators to keep players onboard \u2013 and a reliable payment experience is crucial. 88% of global bettors would switch sportsbooks after a bad experience, with U.S. and Ecuadorean players particularly sensitive (both 93%).<\/p>\n<p>\nZak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, commented: \u201cWith the regulated online betting space encompassing new North and Latin American markets, the 2026 World Cup will be the biggest tournament to date for online sportsbooks, offering an unparalleled opportunity to win new customers and strengthen existing relationships. Our latest research indicates that to optimize player acquisition and retention, operators need to enhance their cashiers, as payments will be of paramount importance for the tournament\u2019s duration \u2013 and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>About Paysafe\u2019s All the Ways Players Pay: World Cup 2026 research report<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe research report was based on a survey conducted on behalf of Paysafe by Sapio Research among 3,850 respondents of legal gambling age with an interest in following the 2026 World Cup (in some capacity) across the U.S. (Florida, Kansas, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania), Mexico, and Canada (Ontario) as well as Brazil, Bulgaria, Ecuador, France, Germany, Italy, Peru, and Spain.
