Monthly number of active online bettors in Great Britain 2019-2022, by type

Published by Statista Research Department, Sep 7, 2023
In March 2022, there were a total of 6.38 million active players in Great Britain placing bets on real events. The number of players betting on real events dropped significantly at the start of 2020 as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, when many sporting events were canceled or postponed. Meanwhile, the number of active players betting on virtual events peaked at the start of the pandemic in 2020, with the most players being active in April, likely due to the Virtual Grand National. With the resumption of many sports events in 2021, both the number of real and virtual event betting players adjusted back to pre-pandemic levels.
