Talking the UK market specifically, not sure about other UK-facing affiliates but things are still slow for us despite a lot of sport and especially golf (for us) back up and running.
Nothing disastrous but active players are still below expectations, as are revenues and FTDs, would be interested to hear what others are experiencing. Talking circa 20-25% down so not fatal but equally not good!
Perhaps this is the ‘new normal’ with generally less disposable income for punters due to Covid-related work worries, or perhaps the whole episode has made punters more cautious. Actually seeing a lot of winners from those who are playing, so maybe some of the more casual punters have knocked it on the head, leaving the more savvy ones playing as a higher proportion of the total.
Also seem to have dropped a couple of regular big players, could be linked to other factors like the credit card ban I guess or just one of the myriad reasons why players stop.
Or does the cynic in me think that this would be a great time for shaving to step up a level, with the perfect explanation and excuse staring us in the face?!
Anyway, not fatal but wholly disappointing. Any similar experiences out there?
