British GGY totals £546.2m in March as slot revenue hits record high
4th May 2021
| By Daniel O Boyle
The British Gambling Commission has reported online gross gambling yield came to £546.2m, up 4.1% month-on-month, with revenue from online slots reaching a new high of £202.9m.
The figures were compiled using data from operators representing around 80% of the online gambling market. While the Commission has now reported 13 months of data since lockdowns began, it said it was “not advisable” to compare year-on-year figures, due to “different operating circumstances”.
In the final full month of lockdown in England, online slots revenue hit a new monthly high of £202.9m, up 15.2% from February and up 1.5% from the previous high in December 2020. This came as the number of slots players also hit a record high at 3.3 million, up 10.0% from last month and 10.1% from December 2020’s record, while the number of spins exceeded 6 billion for the first time.
