Of note as an extract from the talk is the following;

“To summarise things as we see them:

• Overall participation in gambling is stable and has not been growing.
• It is true that online has continued to grow, but the whole market is not.
• And whilst clearly online gambling grew rapidly during the pandemic when the land-based sector could not operate - or was heavily restricted – that was not a sign that gambling participation has exploded – it definitively has not”.
