How are betting companies performing on TV in 2025?

Following a study conducted by Tunad last year , which revealed which sports betting companies invested the most in linear TV in 2024, this new survey analyzes the performance of these brands in the first two months of 2025.
This time, the study not only estimates each brand's investment, but also analyzes:
⇒ Advertising insertions : the number of commercials, including spots, product placements, and sponsorships, aired by each company;
⇒ Search uplift : the impact of commercials on public interest, measured by the increase in searches for the brand.
The research was conducted based on advertising spots broadcast on linear TV (free-to-air TV in São Paulo and PayTV) between January and February 2025.
Investment
Viva Sorte Bet, sponsor of Bahia, was the brand that invested the most, with a total of R$ 38,5 million. Next are Betano (R$ 30,7 million) and Superbet (R$ 21,6 million). Bet365 and Betnacional complete the Top 5.
