One significant factor was online gambling, as the Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) reached a new high of \u00a31.54 billion ($1.91 billion), up 21% from the previous year.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Online Slots and Real Event Betting Lead the Charge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With GGY increasing 15% to \u00a3709 million, online slots were a major factor in the sector\u2019s expansion. A 9% rise in spins, reaching 23.9 billion, coincided with this spike in online slots. Notably, sessions longer than an hour increased 6% to 10.4 million, while the average slot session length also increased to 18 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Notwithstanding these striking numbers, the data was impacted by changes to operator categories, especially in the slots sector. The stated figures for this category were impacted by one operator\u2019s reclassification of certain of its goods.<\/p>\n<p>In GGY, real event betting saw an even greater 38% surge, hitting \u00a3647 million, the most since Q2 2021. Nonetheless, there were 3% fewer active accounts and 7% fewer bets. This implies that successful bookmaker outcomes\u00a0contributed to the revenue increase.<\/p>\n<p>In the brick-and-mortar sector, betting shops saw a 5% increase in GGY, totaling \u00a3592 million. Despite this, the number of bets fell by 4%, indicating a mixed performance across the industry.<\/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\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.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\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katsubet<\/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>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
