€ 4,000m(mainly fixed odds)
+100%
GGR (sports betting) € 1,000m Around € 800m -20%
Level of betting taxes 36% of sales 2 to 5% of sales (*)
Sports betting taxes € 720m Around € 140m - 81%
(*) Funny thing : the level of betting taxes might reach 20% of GGR in the futureWhat will happen: pay out rates increase, more risks for society and a new potential decrease of betting taxes ! And then more and more slot machines…
