EGBA cuts 2024 RET contribution figure from 148.9 million euros to 64.8 million euros

The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) has acknowledged a reporting error in its 2025 Sustainability Report. Last year the association said its members' contributions in the responsible gaming, education and treatment (RET) area amounted to 148.9 million euros, and this figure received wide coverage. The new report corrects the same data to 64.8 million euros.

A spokesperson for the association said last year's report was based on data that members submitted at the time. After a review, some of the 2024 data was found to include contributions that fall outside the scope of this category. According to the spokesperson, the data has been corrected, and the 2024 figure was re-determined in this year's report so that the two years can be measured on the same basis.

The association had previously announced that its 2023 contributions rose by 25 percent to 61.2 million euros, and that its 2024 contributions rose by 143 percent to 148.9 million euros. These figures were presented under positive headlines in the sector publications of the time.

The new report, published on 13 November 2026, puts 2025 contributions at 98.2 million euros, presented as a year-on-year increase of 52 percent. The same report removes 84.1 million euros from the 2024 data. A footnote in the report states that the figures were revised because of updated data sets.
