The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) has released its 2025 Annual Activity Report, revealing record-breaking growth, safer gambling milestones, and a decisive shift toward competitive multi-licensing across the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, EGBA members\u2019 gross gaming revenue surged 15% to \u20ac13.5 billion<\/strong>, while total stakes rose 11% to \u20ac215.6 billion. Players earned a record \u20ac202.1 billion in winnings<\/strong>, and the average return-to-player rate remained high at 93.7%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significantly, casino games led the industry<\/strong> with \u20ac7.0 billion in revenue, followed by sports betting at \u20ac5.5 billion. EGBA also highlighted a 31% increase in online stake volume, emphasizing the continued growth of the regulated market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the consumer protection front, the report marks major advances. EGBA’s Safer Gambling Week 2024<\/strong> reached 3.1 million people in 26 countries<\/strong>, with 195 stakeholders, including eight national regulators. A record 21 million players (65%) used safer gambling tools<\/strong>, with over 67.6 million safety messages<\/strong> sent\u2014demonstrating a commitment to data-driven responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Regulatory leadership remains central to EGBA\u2019s mission. With Finland preparing to abandon its gambling monopoly<\/strong>, all EU member states are now on track for multi-licensing regimes\u2014a major victory for EGBA\u2019s long-standing advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EGBA also led the charge against black market gambling, releasing a joint letter from its members warning that overly restrictive rules could push players to unsafe, unlicensed sites<\/strong>. In parallel, the group expanded its anti-money laundering guidance and engaged with the European Banking Authority (EBA)<\/strong> on AMLA implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Association of Online Gaming Operators urges Norway to move towards a Licensing model for Online Gaming<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further collaborations included knowledge-sharing forums with regulators from 20+ jurisdictions and high-profile appearances at events like ICE London, SBC Summit Lisbon, and the EU Parliament\u2019s 2024 elections forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report concludes with a strong message from Secretary General Maarten Haijer: \u201cWe are raising standards and guiding the sector towards a sustainable path. With 321 licenses across 21 countries, EGBA members are building Europe\u2019s most trusted online gambling environment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
