GGY: All the money in +/+ Other money earned –/- Prizes paid out.
The GGY is calculated before any taxes or other costs have been deducted.

This includes all UKGC-licensed online casinos, online sportsbooks and bingo sites.

What other sectors are included in this GGY reporting?
The land-based sector also accounts for a significant share of the UK gambling market, with a reported £1.2 billion in total GGY, representing 26% of the UK gambling industry’s total GGY.
This includes Arcades, Betting and Casino.
Revenue derived from illegal gambling at non-UKCG-licensed operators is not included in these numbers.
