Germany’s GGL has released a comprehensive survey reviewing black market activity. The 132-page report estimates that estimated gross gaming revenue (GGR) reached €547 million in 2024, up 17% from an estimated €466 million in 2023.
Additionally it determined a channelisation rate of 77.03% in the market, suggesting that legal or regulated offerings account for more than three-quarters of the online gambling market.
“The scientifically calculated channeling rate confirms our previous assumptions about the size of the black market ,” Ronald Benter, CEO of GGL, said of the rate.
