H2 Gambling Capital updated the COVID19 Market Opening Tracker
⏱ 1 min read
(International).- The H2 COVID19 Recovery Tracker provides additional analysis to the H2 COVID19 matrix by highlighting the impact of regional and by-product closures and re-openings of land-based gambling markets worldwide, from the onset of the first lockdown to present day.
Highlights this week:
- The sector has seen a return of 3.4% of the global land-based gambling markets by value, taking the total percentage that has reopened to 88.6%.
- Asia regained 4.1% of its land-based gambling market with the reopening of casinos in Singapore, as well as the resumption of Singapore Pools lottery draws and reopening of retail lottery outlets.
- In the US Maryland, Ohio and Vermont all reopened their land-based gaming facilities, resulting in a return of 3.9% of the total market value, bringing its total to 89%.
- Europe and Oceania did not regain much this week, but several markets announced future reopening dates. So far only two Sweden and Russia have yet to confirm when they will reopen. Europe remained at 89.3% and Oceania gained 0.9% to reach 60.7% reopen.
- Africa saw its biggest percentage return since the start of its lockdown, regaining 4.9% of its total market by value and notably confirmed that the region's largest gambling market by far, South Africa, will reopen on 1 July 2020.
- On the whole, Latin America's gambling market remained firmly locked down as new cases continue to rise across the region, although the resumption of Brazil's lottery and sports betting markets means that while only 6.5% of the actual number of markets reopened, they represented 26.6% of the region's market by value, taking the total up to 38.1%.
