ADM also reports that betting turnover for last year reached the €10..9 billion mark, approximately €1 billion higher than 2017. The land-based sector also increased its revenue by 7 per cent in 2018 to €840 million.
While online betting registered a 16 per cent increase over 2017 to €643 million, it is a shy growth when compared to 2017’s total increase figure of 44.5 per cent, and in a year that did not have major sports tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup.
