Unprecedented brake on the progression of online gambling

Obviously, the end of the crisis does not benefit everyone. During the first half of the year, the rise of online gambling came to a slight halt, with activity down 11% compared to 2021. A trend that had not been observed since 2013, according to the National Gaming Authority (ANJ). The number of active player accounts fell by 12%, to drop below 4 million (3.7 million). “Online gaming activity is pausing after experiencing a bubble. It is more of a plateau than a stoppage of growth,” tempers its president, Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin.
