The key insight?  Belgians have a fondness for games of chance! They went all in during 2022, shelling out a hefty \u20ac14.5 billion ($15.8 billion) across diverse forms of gambling. This signifies a substantial leap of 23.9% in contrast to 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The document, encompassing the timeframe from January 1st to December 31st, 2022, reveals an intriguing interplay between internet-based and brick-and-mortar gambling. Although digital gambling maintains the dominant portion at 54.9%, offline wagering mounted a powerful resurgence, skyrocketing by a considerable 65.7% compared to the preceding year. This revival is largely credited to the relaxation of pandemic limitations, enabling individuals to revisit their preferred casinos, gaming establishments, and cafes.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of these locations, they constituted the foundation of offline wagering, attracting the majority of earnings.  Notably, low-stakes diversions such as bingo and those encountered in cafes played a substantial part, accounting for 33% of the offline sum.<\/p>\n<p>In the digital realm, internet casino platforms reigned supreme, claiming the largest piece of the online gambling pie at 47.3%.  Following closely were websites specializing in virtual gaming spaces and online wagering, both hovering around the 26% mark.<\/p>\n<p>The report depicts a gambling scene in Belgium that is dynamic and recuperating effectively from the effects of the pandemic.  While internet-based gambling persists in its popularity, the appeal of in-person wagering encounters remains potent, contributing to a flourishing industry as a whole. <\/p>\n<p>The study emphasizes a substantial resurgence in physical casino visitation during 2022, resulting in a twofold increase in gross gaming revenue (GGR) relative to 2021. This surge propelled the GGR to unprecedented heights, with nine casinos surpassing \u20ac500 million in collective earnings.<\/p>\n<p>Each land-based casino in Belgium witnessed a GGR upswing, exceeding even the pre-pandemic figures of 2019. Casino Brussels emerged as a dominant player, securing a significant portion of over 40% of the overall revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Internet gambling also registered growth, with the nine licensed online casinos experiencing a 16% climb in GGR. The Spa casino platform spearheaded online earnings. However, the total figures were moderated by a decrease in Middelkerke casino&#8217;s GGR, attributed to the withdrawal of supplementary licenses. <\/p>\n<p>A September 2023 poll by the Belgian Gaming Commission unveiled some worrisome patterns. The poll suggested that 13% of respondents gamble on a daily basis, and a mere 36% could confidently differentiate between legitimate and illegitimate gambling websites. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Belgian Kansspelcommissie has published its findings on the status of wagering within the nation for 2022.
