We\u2019ve collated the latest data available to give a complete overview of the industry as it stands based on 2020 statistics &#8211; so read on for our analysis and what we think the future has in store for the UK gambling industry in the coming years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-catenamedia-blocks-column-item col\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"374\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1163.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1163.png 374w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1163-204x300.png 204w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1163-100x147.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"fullwidth-toc \" style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"><div class=\"fullwidth__holder\">\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type='text\/css'>\n                        #fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518 .expanding-block__data:after{\n                            background:linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(250, 250, 251, 0) 0%, #fafafb 100%)\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518 .expanding-block__opener:after,\n                        #fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518 .expanding-block__opener:before,\n                        #fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518 .expanding-block__opener-ico:after,\n                        #fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518 .expanding-block__opener-ico:before{\n                            background:#fafafb\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518 .expanding-block__opener-readless,\n                        #fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518 .expanding-block__opener-readmore {\n                            color: ;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518 .expanding-block__opener-ico {\n                            background:\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518 .chameleon-link {\n                            color: ;\n                            border-color: ;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518 .chameleon-link:hover {\n                            color: #fafafb;\n                            border-color: ;\n                            background-color: ;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518 .games-tabs__nav-btn.active {\n                            color:#fafafb\n                        }\n                    <\/style><div id=\"fullwidth-3d5feb55-5c56-40bd-91c3-3dda201e0518\" class=\"fullwidth \" style=\"background:#fafafb;\"><div class=\"fullwidth__holder\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UK Gambling By Age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though gambling in the UK is prohibited for under 18s, the National Lottery &#8211; both in the form of scratchards and lotto draws &#8211; is an exception in that 16-year-olds are permitted to take part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That form of gambling will be examined in more detail further down this page, but it will likely not be a surprise to anyone that gambling participation increases fairly steadily with age, with working-age people being the most likely to gamble to some degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the United Kingdom this peaks at just under half of 45 &#8211; 54-year-olds taking part in some form of gambling. Of course, time and money spent varies from each player but this can at least partly be explained by this particular age demographic likely to have substantial disposable income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around a third of legal-age young people in the UK gamble, with technology likely playing a major part in this: Wi-Fi and super-fast 4G\/5G mobile connections mean that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/games\">casino games<\/a> can be played at any time and in any location. Perhaps the most surprising statistic is to see 39% of pensioners taking part in betting of some form, though these statistics do include physical betting activities such as in betting shops and bingo halls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"title-with-line wp-block-heading\">Share of gambling participants in Great Britain in 2020, by age<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1150.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1150.png 920w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1150-300x118.png 300w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1150-768x301.png 768w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1150-100x39.png 100w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1150-862x338.png 862w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type='text\/css'>\n                        #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .expanding-block__data:after{\n                            background:linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(15, 124, 144, 0) 0%, #0f7c90 100%)\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .expanding-block__opener:after,\n                        #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .expanding-block__opener:before,\n                        #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .expanding-block__opener-ico:after,\n                        #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .expanding-block__opener-ico:before{\n                            background:#0f7c90\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .expanding-block__opener-readless,\n                        #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .expanding-block__opener-readmore {\n                            color: #ffffff;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .expanding-block__opener-ico {\n                            background:#ffffff\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .chameleon-link {\n                            color: #ffffff;\n                            border-color: #ffffff;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .chameleon-link:hover {\n                            color: #0f7c90;\n                            border-color: #ffffff;\n                            background-color: #ffffff;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .games-tabs__nav-btn.active {\n                            color:#0f7c90\n                        }\n                    \n                    #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .btn-default--more {\n                        border-color: #ffffff;\n                        color: #ffffff;\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .btn-default--more::after {\n                        background-color: #ffffff;\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .btn em{\n                        color: #ffffff\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .games-tabs__nav {\n                        border-color:#ffffff\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .games-tabs__nav-btn {\n                        color:#ffffff\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a .games-tabs__nav-btn.active {\n                        background-color:#ffffff\n                    }\n                <\/style><div id=\"fullwidth-e09d52b3-6de3-4a83-8bc6-0eb87882176a\" class=\"fullwidth \" style=\"background:#0f7c90;color:#ffffff;\"><div class=\"fullwidth__holder\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regular Online UK Gamblers In 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have established, gambling comes in many different forms, from sports betting and casino table games to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/games\/slots\"><span style=\"color:#8ed1fc\" class=\"tadv-color\">online slots<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\"> <\/span>in their various forms.

In 2020 around a quarter of men were gambling online, with 20% of women doing the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The reason for online becoming such a hotbed of activity can be attributed to several factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Technology:<\/strong> Online gambling can be accessed from any device these days, and this convenience also extends to casinos, which offer services on a 24\/7 basis. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/live-casinos\"><strong><span style=\"color:#8ed1fc\" class=\"tadv-color\">Live casinos<\/span><\/strong><\/a> have developed hugely and are enjoyed for their realism.<\/li><li><strong>Generous bonuses:<\/strong> While physical casinos and bookies undoubtedly have their perks, online players are able to search around for the best offers. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/bonus\/no-deposit\"><span style=\"color:#8ed1fc\" class=\"tadv-color\">No deposit offers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color:#8ed1fc\" class=\"tadv-color\"> <\/span><\/strong>also provide the possibility of winning real money.<\/li><li><strong>Selection of games:<\/strong> Whether horse racing, roulette or Monopoly is your game of choice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/games\/providers\"><strong><span style=\"color:#8ed1fc\" class=\"tadv-color\">software developers<\/span><\/strong> <\/a>have created thousands of different titles that cater to all tastes &#8211; and the list is always getting bigger.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"title-with-line wp-block-heading\">Share of people who participated in at least one form of online gambling in the past four weeks in Great Britain (GB) from 2015 to 2020, by gender<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1145.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1145.png 920w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1145-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1145-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1145-100x54.png 100w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Group-1145-862x462.png 862w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"fullwidth-c4b4071e-466c-4256-9228-037bdbc6f888\" class=\"fullwidth \" ><div class=\"fullwidth__holder\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequency of Online Gambling in the UK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The below graph from the Gambling Commission delves into the habits of UK punters in more detail.

A further 1.3% of players enjoy traditional fruit machines, which are still available in many drinking establishments.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sports betting accounted for 5.3% of UK gamblers in 2020 and this can come in several forms, from multi-match accumulators that can result in unlikely wins to single event wagers from a high-street bookie.

When taken for the UK gambling industry as a whole, it is a neat way to take a snapshot of the financial health as well as how much players are staking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GGY for the last decade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The decade between 2010 and 2020 coincided with unprecedented growth in the gambling industry. As the graph below shows, the GGY started off at \u00a38.44 billion and grew by at least \u00a30.1bn every year. The biggest jump came in 2015\/16, when this number grew from \u00a311.31bn to \u00a313.46bn and the most recent statistics show that the GGY of the UK gambling industry was \u00a314.22bn in March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a slight decrease from the peak of 2018 and is a sign that the industry has levelled out somewhat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GGY of the online gambling industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Without the might and footfall of the high street, for obvious reasons, the GGY of the online industry is smaller. Regardless, the improved availability of stable Internet and mobile-friendly casinos has meant that the amounts involved have grown considerably in recent years &#8211; between 2015 and 2016 alone the online GGY grew by around \u00a32.8bn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsurprisingly, when the online GGY grows, the GGY for the industry as a whole follows suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"title-with-line wp-block-heading\">Gross gambling yield (GGY) of the gambling industry in Great Britain from April 2010 &#8211; March 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1149-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1149-2.png 920w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1149-2-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1149-2-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1149-2-100x56.png 100w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1149-2-862x482.png 862w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gross gambling yield (GGY) of the remote betting, bingo and casino industry in Great Britain from April 2010 to March 2020 (In million GBP)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Frame-1247.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Frame-1247.png 920w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Frame-1247-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Frame-1247-768x528.png 768w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Frame-1247-100x69.png 100w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Frame-1247-862x593.png 862w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"fullwidth-87c8c69b-a68e-4f59-9637-a5b1f0dd81be\" class=\"fullwidth \" ><div class=\"fullwidth__holder\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Number Of Online Players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The data on this topic isn\u2019t quite as recent as some of the rest on this page, with Gambling Commission statistics only covering up to 2019.

overview of the habits of both high and low earners. While no group, according to the 2020 respondents of the survey, spends as high as 1% of their weekly outgoings on gambling, there is a clear trend that shows that lower earners are likely to spend substantially more of their disposable income on gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This could potentially be explained by the fact that people with low incomes are dreaming of the biggest jackpots as they hunt for a life-changing win. Similarly, it is also possible that the lowest domicile groups financially also chance their arms on multiple activities, such as National Lottery and scratchards, but that breakdown in data is not yet available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"title-with-line wp-block-heading\">Share of weekly household expenditure going on gambling payments in the United Kingdom (UK) in financial year 2020, by disposable income decile group<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"896\" height=\"807\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1156-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1156-2.png 896w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1156-2-300x270.png 300w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1156-2-768x692.png 768w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1156-2-100x90.png 100w, https:\/\/slotsia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/1156-2-862x776.png 862w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type='text\/css'>\n                        #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .expanding-block__data:after{\n                            background:linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(15, 124, 144, 0) 0%, #0f7c90 100%)\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .expanding-block__opener:after,\n                        #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .expanding-block__opener:before,\n                        #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .expanding-block__opener-ico:after,\n                        #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .expanding-block__opener-ico:before{\n                            background:#0f7c90\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .expanding-block__opener-readless,\n                        #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .expanding-block__opener-readmore {\n                            color: #ffffff;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .expanding-block__opener-ico {\n                            background:#ffffff\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .chameleon-link {\n                            color: #ffffff;\n                            border-color: #ffffff;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .chameleon-link:hover {\n                            color: #0f7c90;\n                            border-color: #ffffff;\n                            background-color: #ffffff;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .games-tabs__nav-btn.active {\n                            color:#0f7c90\n                        }\n                    \n                    #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .btn-default--more {\n                        border-color: #ffffff;\n                        color: #ffffff;\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .btn-default--more::after {\n                        background-color: #ffffff;\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .btn em{\n                        color: #ffffff\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .games-tabs__nav {\n                        border-color:#ffffff\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .games-tabs__nav-btn {\n                        color:#ffffff\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d .games-tabs__nav-btn.active {\n                        background-color:#ffffff\n                    }\n                <\/style><div id=\"fullwidth-3bb0c618-17b7-4bd9-a7b6-9615ca20560d\" class=\"fullwidth \" style=\"background:#0f7c90;color:#ffffff;\"><div class=\"fullwidth__holder\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remote Gambling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The below table is a great summary of the rise and rise of the online UK gambling industry in recent years.

This could include a maximum stake on each online slot spin, for example, in order to encourage healthier gambling behaviours. Other drastic measures &#8211; particularly around advertising &#8211; have been mooted and with the UK government currently reviewing the 2005 Gambling Act, 2021 could be a year of big change in the industry.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type='text\/css'>\n                        #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .expanding-block__data:after{\n                            background:linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(203, 47, 49, 0) 0%, #cb2f31 100%)\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .expanding-block__opener:after,\n                        #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .expanding-block__opener:before,\n                        #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .expanding-block__opener-ico:after,\n                        #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .expanding-block__opener-ico:before{\n                            background:#cb2f31\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .expanding-block__opener-readless,\n                        #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .expanding-block__opener-readmore {\n                            color: #ffffff;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .expanding-block__opener-ico {\n                            background:#ffffff\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .chameleon-link {\n                            color: #ffffff;\n                            border-color: #ffffff;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .chameleon-link:hover {\n                            color: #cb2f31;\n                            border-color: #ffffff;\n                            background-color: #ffffff;\n                        }\n                        #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .games-tabs__nav-btn.active {\n                            color:#cb2f31\n                        }\n                    \n                    #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .btn-default--more {\n                        border-color: #ffffff;\n                        color: #ffffff;\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .btn-default--more::after {\n                        background-color: #ffffff;\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .btn em{\n                        color: #ffffff\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .games-tabs__nav {\n                        border-color:#ffffff\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .games-tabs__nav-btn {\n                        color:#ffffff\n                    }\n                    #fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0 .games-tabs__nav-btn.active {\n                        background-color:#ffffff\n                    }\n                <\/style><div id=\"fullwidth-c4c2c90e-34ac-4cce-ae60-df01d6904df0\" class=\"fullwidth \" style=\"background:#cb2f31;color:#ffffff;\"><div class=\"fullwidth__holder\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: What can we expect in the future?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the metrics available to us, this piece has shown that the UK gambling industry seems to be nearing its peak, with further growth likely to be steady. However, the industry as a whole looks pretty sustainable with the demand clearly there from players, who embrace new ways of playing, and particularly enjoy finding ways for their favourite games to become even more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slotsia.com\/en\/casinos\/real-money\">Online casinos<\/a> especially seem to be operating in something of a golden age &#8211; and the sheer competitiveness of this means that players have plenty of options. The fact that big-name developers release multiple new games a month is only testament to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead to the medium term, there is a feeling of uncertainty due to possible regulation changes on the horizon. This, coupled with the undoubted further improvement in technology, is certainly something to watch and it will be interesting to undertake another health check on the UK gambling industry in another 10 years.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An in-depth overview on the current state of the UK gambling industry.","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":25487,"template":"","meta":[],"news_tag":[309],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.8 -
