The latest figures from the UK Gambling Commission show a return to growth for sports betting in June, with all other products recording a fall in gross gambling yield.
The UK Gambling Commission has published further data showing how the easing of Covid-19 lockdown measures has impacted online gambling behaviour. The data shows a return to growth for sports betting in June, with all other products recording a fall in gross gambling yield. The main reason here is the return of football matches on the top European football leagues.
Data provided by operators, which account for approximately 80 per cent of the British online gaming market, shows a Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) increase of 115% for online real event betting between May and June (rising to £217.5m), with GGY higher during June than at ‘average’ pre-lockdown levels.
As the country moves out of full lockdown, gambling behaviours have changed but still provide justification for the Commission with a guidance to operators, which includes the need for improved affordability checks, the prevention of reverse withdrawals and restrictions on bonus offers.
