More than €1.1m per day.

The Austrian based online sportsbook closed over 30 million bets on the month of the tournament, fielded by 900,000 bettors, at a rate of 260,000 bettors a day. bwin sportsbook's turnover reached €1.1m per day during this time, a record high as they report. The revenue is double that of the previous World Cup, as were all the figures compared to past events.
The semi-final match between Spain and Germany continues to show as the most popular game of the tournament. William Hill Sports reported the largest single bet, a £417,000 wager, was placed on this match by a British punter. bwin reports the game attracted more bets that the final between Spain and the Netherlands.
