10–16 August 2026
Tennis dominated the past week, accounting for over half of platform volume at $73.2 million across 1,097 bets, as major hardcourt events in North America drew sustained interest from high-stakes bettors. The week’s largest wager was an anonymous bettor’s $1.23 million stake on Naomi Osaka to defeat Elena Rybakina at 1.18 odds—a bet that settled as a loss. Two other seven-figure plays also went against the bettor: a $1 million T1 Esports-versus-Gen.G esports matchup and an $885,716 tennis play on Ekaterina Alexandrova against Elina Svitolina. Soccer finished second with $23.5 million across 704 bets, while esports titles Dota 2 and Counter-Strike combined for $16.4 million. The platform saw a 59 percent win rate among 2,934 settled bets, with Diana Shnaider’s victories over Iga Swiatek generating the week’s largest realized payouts.
