Gambling in France in 2022

After 2020, a year marked by the health crisis - which severely restricted the supply of games - and 2021, a year marked by a “catch-up” effect, 2022 stands out for its high levels, with a strong recovery in casino activity and economic growth benefiting all gaming segments.

In 2022, gambling activity was marked by:

  1. A strong rebound in gaming operators’ GGR, up by more than 20% compared with 2021, with a record total of around €12.9 billion, exceeding the pre-crisis level.
     
  2. A very strong rebound in casino activity, which will return to a level similar to 2019, largely due to the full reopening of these establishments.
     
  3. Household spending on gambling has increased, with an average annual expenditure of €242 on games of chance, compared with €201 in 20212 and €212 in 2019.
     
  4. A return to horse racing punters to points of sale, to the detriment of Internet gambling.
