Economics and statistics

The economy of the Estonian gambling sector is based on a transparent GGR taxation model and a high level of digitalization.

The largest contribution to gross gaming income is made by online slots and bets, the offline segment complements the result through networks of halls and metropolitan casinos.

Operators' revenues form revenues to the budget and funds of the responsible game; the market creates jobs in operations, IT, payment and anti-fraud infrastructure.

Online growth is accelerated by eID/eKYC and instant payments in euros, which increases the sewerage of traffic from the gray zone to the licensed segment.

Expected trends are further consolidation, development of live formats, moderate tightening of advertising and an emphasis on behavioral analytics to reduce harm.
