Gross gambling yield, or GGY, measures the revenue operators retain after paying out winnings to customers.<\/p>\n\n<p>The figure represents a 2.27% increase compared with the same period in 2024, when GGY stood at \u00a34.4 billion. When lotteries are excluded, total GGY for the quarter amounted to \u00a33.3 billion.<\/p>\n\n<p>Remote casino, betting and bingo activities produced \u00a32.12 billion in GGY between October and December. Within this segment, remote casino gaming accounted for \u00a31.49 billion, representing 70% of total remote revenue. Remote betting contributed \u00a3599.05 million, while remote bingo generated \u00a338.66 million.<\/p>\n\n<p>Turnover for remote casino, betting and bingo reached \u00a339.18 billion during the quarter, resulting in the \u00a32.12 billion GGY figure.

Across licensed venues, there were 191,325 gaming machines in use.<\/p>\n\n<p>These figures highlight that while online gambling leads in revenue terms, a significant retail network remains active across Great Britain.

Online gambling participation stood at 37%, compared with 27% for in person gambling. Excluding lottery only players, online participation was 15% and in person gambling 17%.<\/p>\n\n<p>Lottery products remained the most widely used form of gambling. Around 31% of respondents reported purchasing National Lottery draw tickets in the previous four weeks. When charity lotteries were included, participation in lottery draws rose to 36%.<\/p>\n\n<p>National Lottery ticket sales reached \u00a32.02 billion in the quarter and contributed \u00a3415.11 million to good causes.

For the full year, aggregate GGY from remote casino, betting and bingo reached \u00a35.55 billion, underlining the role of online gambling as the primary revenue source for the sector.\n\nLand Based Sector and Retail Betting Performance\n\nLand based gambling segments, including arcades, betting shops, bingo halls and casinos, generated about \u00a31.2 billion in GGY during the quarter. Non remote betting accounted for \u00a3613 million, representing 48.2% of total non remote gambling revenue.\n\nThe regulator reported that 8,148 licensed premises were in operation during the period, including 5,669 betting shops. Across licensed venues, there were 191,325 gaming machines in use.\n\nThese figures highlight that while online gambling leads in revenue terms, a significant retail network remains active across Great Britain. For users comparing online and land based options, the data illustrates the scale of both channels within the regulated market.\n\nParticipation Rates Show Higher Engagement Online\n\nThe Gambling Commission also released findings from its latest Gambling Survey for Great Britain, conducted between September 22, 2025 and January 18, 2026. The survey found that 47% of respondents had participated in some form of gambling during the previous four weeks.\n\nWhen lottery only participants were excluded, overall participation dropped to 26%. Online gambling participation stood at 37%, compared with 27% for in person gambling. Excluding lottery only players, online participation was 15% and in person gambling 17%.\n\nLottery products remained the most widely used form of gambling. Around 31% of respondents reported purchasing National Lottery draw tickets in the previous four weeks. When charity lotteries were included, participation in lottery draws rose to 36%.\n\nNational Lottery ticket sales reached \u00a32.02 billion in the quarter and contributed \u00a3415.11 million to good causes. Large society lotteries added \u00a3126.2 million in contributions.\n\nAge and Gender Differences in Gambling Activity\n\nAccording to the survey, gambling participation was highest among people aged 55 to 64, with 56% reporting activity in the previous four weeks. Participation rates were 54% among those aged 45 to 54 and 51% among those aged 35 to 44.\n\nYounger adults aged 18 to 24 reported lower overall participation at 31%, although they were more likely to engage in non lottery gambling products.\n\nMen reported higher participation than women. Overall, 49% of men said they had gambled in the previous four weeks, compared with 44% of women. Online gambling participation was 41% among men and 34% among women. Betting showed one of the widest gender gaps, with participation rates of 13% for men and 4% for women.\n\nFor operators and users alike, these figures provide insight into demographic trends within the regulated UK market, including which groups are more likely to use online betting and gaming products.\n\nRegulator Announces AI Powered Advertising Review\n\nAlongside the financial and participation data, the Gambling Commission announced plans to conduct an AI powered marketing sweep. The initiative aims to identify gambling advertisements that may be unsuitable for individuals under the age of 18.\n\nIn a notice to operators, the regulator stated that if advertisements are found to break the rules, operators will be required to amend or remove them immediately. Failure to comply may result in sanctions, including referral to the platform hosting the advertisement and or action by the Gambling Commission.\n\nThis development signals continued regulatory oversight of marketing practices within the UK gambling sector.\n\nOur Assessment\n\nThe latest quarterly data show that the UK gambling market generated \u00a34.5 billion in GGY in Q4 2025, with online casino, betting and bingo accounting for the largest share of revenue. Remote casino alone represented 70% of remote GGY, and full year remote GGY reached \u00a35.55 billion.\n\nSurvey data indicate that online participation exceeds in person gambling participation, while lotteries remain the most common gambling product. At the same time, the regulator maintains active supervision of advertising and licensing, including the use of AI tools to monitor compliance. Together, these figures outline a market in which online activity dominates revenue generation within a structured regulatory framework.\n\n"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/news\/uk-gambling-ggy-q4-2025-online-dominates\/","url":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/news\/uk-gambling-ggy-q4-2025-online-dominates\/","name":"UK Gambling GGY \u00a34.5bn in Q4 2025","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/news\/uk-gambling-ggy-q4-2025-online-dominates\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/news\/uk-gambling-ggy-q4-2025-online-dominates\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/uk-gambling-ggy-q4-2025-online-dominates.jpg","datePublished":"2026-06-09T17:05:07+02:00","description":"UK gambling GGY reached \u00a34.5 billion in Q4 2025, with online casino and betting driving growth, according to Gambling Commission data.","inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/news\/uk-gambling-ggy-q4-2025-online-dominates\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/news\/uk-gambling-ggy-q4-2025-online-dominates\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/uk-gambling-ggy-q4-2025-online-dominates.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/uk-gambling-ggy-q4-2025-online-dominates.jpg","width":1408,"height":736,"caption":"Upward bar chart with pound symbol, stacked gold coins, and open laptop displaying a rising line graph on screen."},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/news\/uk-gambling-ggy-q4-2025-online-dominates\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"UK Gambling GGY Hits \u00a34.5 Billion in Q4 2025 as Online Leads"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/","name":"Kryptocasinos.com","description":"","inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/#organization","name":"Kryptocasinos.com","url":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kryptocasinos-com-logo.svg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kryptocasinos-com-logo.svg","width":109,"height":34,"caption":"Kryptocasinos.com"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.kryptocasinos.com\/en\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kryptocasinoscomm\/"],"description":"Explore the best crypto casinos for %%currentyear%%.
