Revealed! The results of OLBG’s Euro 2024 gambling survey with YouGov
The Online Betting Guide (OLBG) has joined forces with YouGov to produce a landmark survey on public attitudes towards gambling.
OLBG, the UK’s biggest sports betting community, will produce a new survey every quarter, kicking off with an in-depth look at Euro 2024.
Key findings:
Half (50%) of UK adults would not bet against their own team at Euro 2024, but 29% said they would have no such qualms. 52% of Scottish adults would never bet against the Tartan Army, while 51% of English adults would never go against the Three Lions.
The people have spoken! A £5 pint (38%) is more value for money than a bet of the equivalent stake (9%). However, more than half of respondents (53%) said that neither would represent value for money in terms of entertainment while watching football.
While 68% of UK adults said they never bet on football, a combined 12% of respondents said that placing a bet on the football would enhance their enjoyment of the sport. A further 13% said it would make no difference at all to their level of enjoyment.
Elsewhere, the same proportion of UK adults intend to participate in a tournament sweepstake (5%) as those who intend to place a bet online for an individual match (5%).
Just 1% of respondents said they planned to place a bet in person (i.e. at a betting shop) on the outcome of the tournament.
While 83% of UK adults said they wouldn’t bet informally on Euro 2024, 7% look set to place a bet at home with friends or family, with 5% planning to participate at work with colleagues.
“Surveys of this kind always throw out some interesting results, not least that nearly 30% of people would be willing to bet against their own country. I wonder how many of those would be prepared to admit that publicly,” said Richard Moffat, Chief Executive Officer at OLBG.
“And while this survey shows that many supporters are clearly planning to place a bet with friends, family and work colleagues, we would always recommend placing Euro 2024 bets with a UK-licensed bookmaker,” he added.
The survey also generated some interesting results on public attitudes towards gambling against a backdrop of regulatory reform following the Gambling Act review.
For example, two thirds of UK adults (66%) don’t think national football associations – such as the English FA – should sign commercial deals with gambling brands.
Ivan Toney has been confirmed in England’s 26-man squad for Euro 2024 despite being banned for eight months of the season due to a breach of betting rules. More than a third (38%) of UK adults were in strong support of an outright ban on professional footballers being allowed to bet on Euro 2024, right across the top seven tiers of the English football pyramid.

Slotsjudge Streamers Paul and Krista Launch New Interactive Features on Streams
Introduction to the New Interactive Features
Slotsjudge’s streamers, Paul and Krista, have recently implemented a number of new interactive feature aimed at diversifying viewer experience and even making viewers participate in the gaming process first-hand. What exactly will these innovations bring to the table?
Engaging Viewers with “Viewergames”
The very first feature, Viewergames, is designed to ensure viewer participation throughout the stream. Paul and Krista choose five random viewers to pick a game to play and try out the bought bonuses in each. At the end of each round, the participant with the lowest bonus amount leaves the game. The last standing viewer at the end of all games then receives the main prize.
Exciting “Bonus Hunt” Experience
Viewer participation is further encouraged in the Bonus Hunt feature on stream. Streamers play a predefined number of games and accumulate bonuses in the process. In the gaming process, the accumulated bonuses are not opened immediately. Instead, streamers keep them a mystery until the end.
Will the bonus hunt end in profit? Viewers can make their guesses by participating in a vote on Discord, and once the bonuses are revealed, Paul and Krista choose five viewers who guessed correctly and reward them with special prizes.
Interactive Giveaways for 100x Wins
Whenever a 100x win is hit during the stream, it triggers a special Giveaway, in which five viewers are chosen randomly to receive a prize. If a 100x win occurs more than once, an increased number of players enter a wheel, which then selects five winners. There can be multiple entries per viewer, which greatly increases their winning chances.
Slotsjudge’s Commitment to Interactive Entertainment
The introduction of the new interactive games for Paul and Krista’s streams has become a major boost for viewer engagement in the entertainment content provided on the platform. Slotsjudge is dedicated to bringing innovation into every aspect of the iGaming sector, refreshing viewer experience and making it more rewarding than ever.
Conclusion: Enhancing Viewer Engagement
Viewergames, Bonus Hunt, and Giveaways for 100x Wins will have a number of undeniable advantages. Most and foremost, they will greatly increase viewer engagement thanks to active viewer participation. Besides, they will build a sense of community among viewers, encouraging them to come back for more rewards and experience their favorite games anew.
Finally, such an engagement rate is based on the uniqueness of each feature, which makes every stream memorable for viewers and thus — skyrockets the visibility of such content among advertisers and sponsors. Slotsjudge is looking forward to reaping the fruit of the new stream games and seeing their positive impact on the iGaming community and the industry as a whole.
