Further data showing the impact of Covid-19 lockdown on gambling reflects on the first full month of lockdown in April from the largest online operators.
Overall participation has decreased but some players were found spending more time and money gambling. Therefore, the Commission strengthened guidance for operators to ensure people are protected from harm.
The commission will continue to track and assess risk by:

  • assessing the impact of the strengthened guidance issued to operators
  • collecting and publishing the data being gathered
  • supporting the industry as land-based premises begin to open
  • where evidence identifies additional risks faced by consumers, taking further action to protect consumers
