€3.8 Billion Tax Contribution from EGBA Members to European Economy Revealed in 2024 Report

€3.8 Billion Tax Contribution from EGBA Members to European Economy Revealed in 2024 Report
Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Members of the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) contributed €3.8 billion in taxes to the European economy in 2024 and achieved record progress in safer gambling and social responsibility, according to the association’s fifth annual sustainability report published today. The report reveals that EGBA members sent 100 million safety messages to their European customers in 2024 – a 48% year-on-year increase – and 69% of their customers, or 26.7 million of them, use safety tools, with half doing so voluntarily.

The Sustainability Report 2025 outlines the collective efforts of EGBA members to contribute positively to European society through safer gambling, social investment, and responsible business practices. It presents data on customer demographics, use of safety tools, investments in sports and society, employment and diversity, and environmental performance. The report covers the online operations of EGBA members in the EU and UK and tracks their year-on-year progress.

“This year’s report shows our members are not only positive contributors to Europe’s economy but also setting industry benchmarks for safer gambling,” said Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA“We’re especially encouraged by the success of personalised safety messages, which our report shows to be positively impacting between 42% to 46% of customers showing high-risk behaviours. That’s genuinely meaningful progress that builds trust and helps raise standards across the wider industry.”

“Our members are showing that leadership in our industry is about more than commercial success – it’s about protecting players, supporting communities, and investing in Europe’s future,” Haijer added“But sustaining these achievements requires stable and supportive regulatory frameworks and stronger enforcement against black market operators based outside Europe, who threaten the safety of European citizens and contribute nothing to our societies. The regulated industry makes substantial investments, but we need a longer-term policy vision in some national markets.”

EGBA and its members are committed to fostering a strong culture of social responsibility while evolving to meet rising societal expectations. Through their shared commitment to sustainability, our members continue to demonstrate that safer gambling and business success go hand in hand.
