The number of new online players in Belgium fell by 43%, but operator revenues increased

🔹In 2025, legal online gambling in Belgium generated €964,5 million GGR — 5,4% more than a year earlier. At the same time, new registrations declined from 193 thousand to 110 thousand, according to a report by regulator KSC.

🔹Overall, about 529 thousand people played online during the year versus 602 thousand in 2024. Meanwhile, the average number of active daily players rose by 3% — to 160 thousand. In other words, the annual audience shrank, but daily activity increased.

🔹The land-based segment, by contrast, lost 7,2% of revenue and earned €656,1 million. The total market size remained almost unchanged — €1,62 billion, and the online share reached about 60%.

🔹The regulator suggests that some players may have moved to illegal platforms. In a KSC survey of 1 000 Belgians aged 18–30, 28% said they had used unlicensed sites.

Нових онлайн-гравців у Бельгії стало на 43% менше, але доходи операторів зросли

🔹У 2025 році легальний онлайн-гемблінг у Бельгії приніс €964,5 млн GGR — на 5,4% більше, ніж роком раніше. Водночас кількість нових реєстрацій скоротилася зі 193 тис. до 110 тис., йдеться у звіті регулятора KSC.

🔹Загалом онлайн протягом року грали близько 529 тис. осіб проти 602 тис. у 2024-му. При цьому середня кількість активних гравців на день зросла на 3% — до 160 тис. Тобто річна аудиторія скоротилася, але щоденна активність зросла.

🔹Наземний сегмент, навпаки, втратив 7,2% доходів і заробив €656,1 млн. Загальний обсяг ринку залишився майже без змін — €1,62 млрд, а частка онлайну сягнула близько 60%.

🔹Регулятор припускає, що частина гравців могла перейти на нелегальні платформи. В опитуванні KSC серед 1 000 бельгійців віком 18–30 років 28% заявили, що користувалися нелицензованими сайтами.
