The gaming Commission has released its most recent data on the gaming business in Great Britain. The study reveals a gross gambling yield (GGY) of £1.32 billion ($1.69 billion) for the three months ending September 30, as slots income reaches a new high. The third-quarter numbers did not beat the previous quarter’s GGY of £1.46 billion.
The data, gathered from operators, spans the period from March 2020 to September 2024, inclusive, and includes both online and in-person gambling, as well as Licensed Betting Operators (LBOs) on British high streets. The release compares the second quarter of the fiscal year 2024-2025 to the second quarter of 2023-2024.
According to the examination, the data is as follows.
Online overall GGY in Q2 (July to September) was £1.32 billion ($1.69 billion), up 11% from the previous year. The total number of bets and/or spins grew 12% year on year, hitting a record high of 25.2 billion for the third consecutive quarter, while the average monthly active accounts increased by 8%.
Real event betting GGY grew 6% year on year to £453 million ($582 million). However, the number of bets fell by 10%, while the average monthly active accounts in Q2 rose by 9%.

Slots GGY rose 16% to £680 million ($874 million) year on year. The number of spins grew 13% to 23.3 billion, while the average monthly active accounts in Q2 increased 16% to 4.4 million. Although this is GGY’s new peak in this dataset for the slots vertical, the Gambling Commission cautions that one operator reclassified some of its products into the slot vertical in the quarter, affecting the vertical statistics.
The number of online slot sessions lasting more than an hour climbed by 9% year on year, reaching 10 million, while the average session length stayed at 17 minutes. Approximately 6.1% of all sessions lasted more than one hour, up from 6.6% in the previous year’s second quarter. However, the number of spins each session has decreased from 147 to 142 year on year, while the GGY per session has dropped from £4.20 to £4.13 in the same timeframe.
LBO GGY fell by 1% to £533 million ($685.9 million) in Q2 2024-2025 compared to the same quarter previous year, while total bets and spins fell by 0.1% to 3.1 billion.
However, the regulator cautioned against drawing parallels with the industry statistics dataset, which may contain free bets and bonuses but does not include data from all operators.
