These go hand in hand with the minister in charge Ardalan Shekarabi's concerns about increased gambling due to the Corona pandemic, although the statistics reported by the Gambling Inspectorate seem to lack support for further increased online gambling since the new virus broke out. It also seems that several aspects come into play, such as the lack of online betting , which has caused us to see some increase in online commercial gaming.

This has been$off since 2019, which has resulted in significantly more players closing themselves off from online gambling via The National Gambling Exclusion Scheme. a comparison with the last quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020 shows an increase of 5%.
