Conclusion

Overall, growth was recorded in terms of GGR generated in the gambling

industry – by 8.8% from FY2015 to FY2016, by 3.8% from FY2016 to FY2017,

and by 6.7% from FY2017 to FY2018.

The highest percentage growth in GGR between FY2017 and FY2018 was

recorded in the betting (increased by 20.7%) and LPM (increased by 9.8%)

sectors, compared by 2.9% growth in GGR in the casino sector. Negative growth

(GGR) was recorded in the bingo sector from FY2017 to FY2018.

Growth is expected in LPM and bookmakers offering betting on sport sectors.

Overall, real growth in GGR fell by 6,1% from FY2017 to FY2018. Betting GGR

however grew by 6,2% between FY2017 and FY2018 whilst Bingo GGR fell by

14.1%, Casino GGR by 9.5% and 3.4% for LPM GGR for the same period.

Growth in gambling revenues has generally followed slow trends due to

decrease in incidence of gambling over the years and increase in illegal

gambling participation which impacts on the legal fraternity.
