On average, the number of players participating in sports betting does not exceed 5 to 7 million local residents on a monthly basis.
The most popular sports for betting in Japan are: baseball, football, golf, boxing, sumo wrestling and motorcycle racing and in recent years there has been an increasing interest in betting on football and martial arts, for example betting on MMA matches.
