Tried to test it on day 1 of exp and it is quite difficult to get a concrete answer to that question. My perception, based on my results, is that winning if it gives you a little more experience, but the difference is very small, and the main factor that determines how much exp you earn is the duration of the game. To put it to the test, you would have to compare the amount of experience gained after a victory and after a loss in two matches that have more or less the same duration, and I suppose these are conditions that are difficult to recreate in game. At least I haven't been able to do it while collecting my results by hand.
Yeah, I just figured someone out there must have recorded and crunched enough data to have it figured out by now. Aren’t there deck trackers that could answer this sort of thing?
I tried something like this. One straight hour of losing every match granted me around 360 xp while 1 hour of winning (and losing sometimes because I can't win every single game) granted me around 410 xp. These matches were played at rank silver 5 in wild ranked. There is a difference but a small one.

Interesting. Did you notice how the bonus xp from winning is handled? Do you get % based (match time x multiplied by 5% or smth) bonus on games you win, or do you just get a pre-determined lump of XP (like, +10 XP or so) on top of the XP you get from playing?
Of course, the earlier you drop out, the shorter the game is, and I haven't tracked every single game, but I check frequently, and getting top 4 results in 100xp+ (about 150 for 1st place), and bottom 4 in something between 40-80 exp, even when the difference between 5th and 4th place is oftentimes just one round.
I thought only quests and (some) achievements gave xp. I don't think I'm getting xp for games played. If I am, it's an incredibly small amount. (like under 100/game)

You definitely get XP for playing. It's not much, certainly under 100 per game.

it depends how long the match goes, i got 140 yesterday for one (longer) match
In ranked. time spent losing gives you 350/h, time spent winning 450/h. In battlegrounds same deal win=350/h lose=250/h, bottom 4 is considered losing, top 4 is considered winning. Rest of the modes follow suite.

Now this is what I’m talking about! Thanks for the details.
Out of curiosity, where did you get this data from? Was it confirmed by Blizzard?
Interesting that Battlegrounds gives less XP/hour than Ranked... Where do the other formats line up in this tier system?
So 1st place in Battlegrounds is the same value as 4th place...?

What has been confirmed by Blizzard is that the average player will earn 400xp/hour playing ranked and 300xp/hour playing Battlegrounds, with wins granting more xp than loses. Since the MMR matchmaking system aims to give players a 50% winrate, it naturally follows that an hour of losing will grant 350xp while an hour of winning will grant 450xp, and vice versa for Battlegrounds.
I don't know of you get the same bonus for winning no matter if you're 1st or 4th in Battlegrounds, but even if you do, a 1st place would usually grant more xp over all as the game usually lasts longer for 1st place than 4th place.
Someone may have done something similar for constructed, but any thread posted on the main subreddit that isn't "Blizzard Bad" has been downvoted off the map for the last few weeks.
I've seen both answers discussed in various threads over the past couple of weeks.
Just wondering if anyone's gotten an official answer on it, or been able to confirm it in-game somehow?

At least in Battlegrounds it matters.

Someone did a test for Arena, here are the results

The only cancer in Hearthstone is its community.
I played ranked and got 237 xp for 1 game right now, is that a bug, i thought there was a cap pr game?
Battleground xp is shiat...
Btw if you buy the tavern pack, the bonus xp adds up to the 400xp/hour, or you just reach it faster?
Also, I'm lvl 66 and reward track is slowing down considerably, you need 2200 xp to level up now. Level 150 seems far far away.
Well at least the xp pr level stops at 2500, you will easily get to 150 if you are 66 now.
yes
why 150? the reward track only has 100 levels and then you can go on to 400
