The report, which covers data through September 2024, indicates that online and in-person gambling yielded a gross gambling yield (GGY) of \u00a31.32 billion ($1.69 billion) for the three months ending on September 30. However, this total fell short of the previous quarter\u2019s record-breaking \u00a31.46 billion.<\/p>\n<p>This data captures performance from March 2020 to September 2024 and includes online and in-person gambling activity. It compares data from Q2 of the 2024-2025 financial year to the same quarter in 2023-2024, offering a comprehensive view of shifting trends.<\/p>\n<h2>Online Betting and Slots Trends<\/h2>\n<p>The report shows that the online gambling sector\u2019s GGY for Q2 reached \u00a31.32 billion, marking an 11% increase from the previous year. The number of online bets and spins rose 12% year-over-year, setting a new quarterly record at 25.2 billion, while active monthly accounts grew by 8%. Real event betting generated \u00a3453 million ($582 million) in GGY, up 6% despite a 10% decrease in the number of bets. Meanwhile, the average number of active accounts for betting increased by 9%.<\/p>\n<p>Slots saw particularly notable growth. Revenue in this vertical climbed 16% year-over-year to \u00a3680 million ($874 million), driven by a 13% increase in spins to 23.3 billion. Monthly active accounts for slots reached 4.4 million, reflecting a 16% growth. Although one operator reclassified some products as slots, boosting GGY in this category, the trend reflects strong interest. Additionally, the number of slot sessions lasting over an hour increased by 9% to 10 million, with session length holding steady at 17 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Licensed Betting Operators (LBOs) on British high streets showed a slight 1% dip in GGY, totaling \u00a3533 million ($685.9 million). Similarly, the total number of bets and spins in LBOs fell by 0.1% to 3.1 billion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
