The key observation?  Although the total market expanded considerably compared to 2021, it was a story of contrasting segments.<\/p>\n<p>Brick-and-mortar gambling experienced a resurgence, witnessing a 65.7% surge in earnings. This upswing was primarily attributed to the relaxation of pandemic limitations that had previously forced closures.  Essentially, they reverted to pre-pandemic levels of operation.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, internet gambling encountered significantly slower expansion at a mere 2.6%.  This implies that the digital realm had already capitalized on the shift in customer habits during lockdowns, and its expansion has now plateaued.<\/p>\n<p>In aggregate, the Belgian wagering market generated upwards of \u20ac14.5 billion (equivalent to $15.8 billion) in 2022.  Internet gambling constituted the majority of these earnings at 54.9%, while physical gambling comprised the remaining 45.1%.<\/p>\n<p>Within the land-based segment, casinos, gaming establishments, and cafes emerged as the top earners. Notably, low-value games, particularly bingo terminals located in cafes, played a substantial part, contributing 33% to the overall brick-and-mortar revenue.  Wagering shops, while exhibiting some growth, have not fully recovered to their pre-pandemic figures.<\/p>\n<p>In the online sphere, casino platforms prevailed, generating 47.3% of all internet gambling revenue.  Automated gaming websites followed closely at 26.4%, and online wagering completed the top three at 26.3%. This distribution remained largely consistent with 2021. <\/p>\n<p>During the year 2022, physical casinos situated in Belgium experienced a significant resurgence.  Their collective earnings, referred to as Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) within the sector, increased twofold in comparison to 2021, even exceeding figures observed before the pandemic.  A group of nine casinos successfully generated in excess of half a billion Euros, establishing a new benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>Each individual casino witnessed its revenue ascend to levels surpassing those achieved back in 2019. The gambling establishment in Brussels emerged as the frontrunner, securing over 40% of the overall market share.<\/p>\n<p>The realm of internet gambling presented a somewhat contrasting narrative.  Although the nine authorized platforms did experience a 16% rise in GGR, with Spa Casino&#8217;s digital presence leading the way, Middelkerke Casino&#8217;s online earnings actually declined, potentially attributed to certain adjustments in licensing regulations.<\/p>\n<p>A current study conducted in September 2023 by the Belgian Gaming Commission unveiled some noteworthy observations regarding gambling behaviors: a concerning 13% of individuals confessed to engaging in gambling on a daily basis, and a worrisome 36% were unable to differentiate between a legitimate and an illegitimate gambling website. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Belgian Authority on Gaming recently published its findings on the nation&#8217;s wagering landscape for 2022, highlighting notable patterns.
