DGOJ reports GGR up 18.6% for Q2 2025

Key points:

– The Spanish gaming regulator has released the nation’s Q2 gaming results

– Figures were up year-on-year across the board, though quarter-on-quarter growth was mixed

Spanish gaming regulator Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) has released the nation’s gaming financials for Q2 2025. 

In total, deposits came to €1.35bn ($1.59bn), up 23.7% year-on-year, with withdrawals totalling €962.9m, up 28.9%, in line with the growth rate of deposits. Gross gaming revenue (GGR) came to €410.3m, up 18.6%, with new accounts growing 11.7% to 504,853. This may in part be due to the 37.1% increase in marketing, totalling €164.5m.  

Quarter-on-quarter, rates of growth were far less significant, with some metrics even showing decline. While GGR was up 2.8% quarter-on-quarter, deposits were down 0.4%, marketing down 0.2% and new accounts down a notable 11.6%.  

Looking at the distribution of GGR across various betting segments, casino accounted for the largest percentage at 52.7%, making €216.4m. Sports betting accounted for 41.8%, making €171.4m, bingo made €3.4m, or 0.8% and poker made €19.1m, or 4.7%.  

Looking at betting more specifically, the segment grew 18.2% quarter-on-quarter or 2.7% year-on-year. Pre-match bets were up 24.6%, while in-play sports betting fell 33.2%, with segments such as horseracing, for example, growing 3.2%.  

Bingo fell at a similar rate both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, at 6.4% and 6.9%, respectively. 

Good to know: There are currently 77 licensed operators in Spain 

Casino GGR has yielded mixed results, with quarter-on-quarter GGR up 6.5%, and year-on-year up 26%. Slots played a major part in this annual rate of growth, up 33.6%, with blackjack, slot, live roulette and conventional roulette all seeing quarter-on-quarter growth, albeit below 10%.  

Monthly average gaming accounts in Spain totalled 1,704,172 in Q2, up 21% year-on-year but down 2.4% quarter-on-quarter. Again, an increase in marketing expenses may have played a part in this, with sponsorship expenses up 53% quarter-on-quarter, for example.  

Moreover, it has been observed that gambling participation increased by over 20% in 2024 following the reintroduction of welcome bonuses to online gaming platforms. It seems, in Q2, that trend has continued.
