The online gambling market in Spain generated €850.7m in 2020, an increase of 13.7% on the previous year, as casino almost completely closed the gap on sports betting in the battle for largest market share.

As revealed in the ‘Spain Betting Focus‘ report published by BtoBet, sports betting still came out with the highest gross gaming revenue (GGR), with a total of €365.14m or 42.92% share, but this represented a 3.48% year on year (YoY) decrease.

This was largely as a result of in-play sports betting and pre-match sports betting suffering 4.57% and 2.66% drops respectively due to the impact of Covid-19 on the sporting calendar.

Casino, meanwhile, recorded a 28.39% YoY surge to €350.8m in GGR, or 41.23% share of the market.
