The Gambling Commission publishes data on the Gaming Industry in Great Britain
(October 2018 - September 2019)
In addition to the drop in global revenues due to the closure of land based gambling stores, the Annual Report of the Gambling Commission reveals another series of data and relevant information from all the subsectors that the UK Gambling Commission regulates. We review some of the most outstanding variables cover the period between October 2018 and September 2019 (so they do not include the "Covid-19 period").
The latest data provided by the Gambling Commission in its annual reports cover the period from October 2018 to September 2019, so no impact related to the Coronavirus crisis is reflected. In principle, the most prominent variables showing the situation in the sector would be the aforementioned 0.5% decrease in the Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) of the total gaming industry in Great Britain, reaching 14.3 billion British Pounds (£ ).
A figure that would stay at £ 10.5 billion if we don't count Lottery-type gambling, which would mean a 1.9% decrease between April 2018 and March 2019.
Other data of interest (as of October 1, 2019) would be:
