According to H2 Gambling Capital, global gambling revenues are now on track to fall by 11% due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

Depending on the global spread of the virus, the final revenue losses may be even higher. The expected decline in revenues would effectively bring the value of the global gambling market to below 2017 levels.

As the land-based industry will be hit much harder than the online sector, the relative share of the latter in total revenues is expected to increase from 13.2% to an estimated 16%.

More extensive information is available in the podcast “How is COVID-19 Affecting Gambling?” with Simon Holliday, Founder of H2 Gambling Capital, and leisure analyst Ed Birkin.

Online operators take action against “corona-free” affiliate marketing

Flutter Entertainment and Kindred Group have communicated a zero-tolerance policy with affiliate partners over the use of coronavirus in marketing material. LeoVegas has reportedly taken similar steps.

Meanwhile, Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) is offering free coronavirus keyword tracking to operators seeking to prevent unethical marketing practices through their affiliate marketing channels.

Last week, the Netherlands Gambling Authority warned unlicensed online operators using the coronavirus crisis to promote their online offerings that they could count on the “keen attention” of the regulator.

Marketing efforts touting the advantages of “corona-free” gambling have, however, also been observed in other markets, including the UK.
