New DCMS Survey Reveals Divisions in Response to COVID-19 Support
A recent survey carried out by the UK’s Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has revealed divisions in the way UK gambling firms responded to recent restrictions on coronavirus, with two-thirds of respondents failing to access government support.
The survey named “The Coronavirus Impact Business Survey” showed that 19 betting companies had earned government financial support while 39 had not earned it. The specific details of those surveyed were not disclosed, but it is likely that a large majority of respondents are land-based betting firms.
Of those surveyed, 20 operators had not signed into the furlough scheme of government. Three gaming firms had furloughed between 50% and 74% of the employees and 32 had furloughed between 75% and 100%.
Thirty gambling firms have announced that since the lockout they have taken a 100% revenue hit, in direct contrast to only two that have seen sales rise or stay the same. Fourteen of the gambling firms surveyed saw revenue fall between 50% and 99%, while eight firms recorded revenue declines between 1% and 49%.
Nine betting firms claimed they will continue trading for 1-3 months without any government financial backing. Twenty bookmakers believed they could continue to trade with additional funding for 3-6 months, while a further twenty believed they could trade for more than six months. About five were unsure as to how long they could go on running, while two had shut their doors already.

Award-winning sportsbook provider strengthens LATAM presence by integrating with leading iGaming platform ecosystem ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup
2, June 2026: Altenar, a leading sportsbook provider, has partnered with Atlaslive to integrate its fully managed sportsbook into the company’s iGaming platform ecosystem, expanding access to its award-winning sports betting technology for operators across Latin America.
Through the integration, Atlaslive-powered operators will gain access to Altenar’s complete sportsbook solution alongside the platform’s existing infrastructure, enabling operators to choose the sportsbook configuration that best aligns with their market strategy, regulatory requirements, and player acquisition goals.
The partnership further strengthens Altenar’s presence across LATAM and supports its strategy of making flexible, high-performance sportsbook technology available through leading platform providers. By combining Altenar’s sportsbook capabilities with Atlaslive’s scalable platform environment, operators benefit from greater deployment flexibility without compromising on performance, trading depth, or operational efficiency.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, demand for scalable and reliable sportsbook technology is expected to increase significantly. The integration positions operators to capitalise on one of the highest-volume periods in the sports betting calendar with reduced implementation timelines and a proven sportsbook solution designed to perform under peak demand.
Altenar currently operates across more than 50 regulated jurisdictions and holds licences from major regulatory authorities including the UKGC, MGA and AGCO. Most recently, the company was recognised as Best Online Sportsbook Provider at the SiGMA South America Awards 2026, following its Sportsbook Supplier of the Year win at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2024.
Frederico Caputi, Senior Sales Manager at Altenar, said:
“We are pleased to partner with Atlaslive and bring our sportsbook technology to their growing operator network. This integration expands the reach of our fully managed sportsbook solution while giving operators more flexibility in how they build and scale their sports betting offering.
“Through this collaboration, operators gain access to a proven sportsbook product that combines live betting capabilities, advanced risk management, and extensive sports content with the speed and scalability required to succeed in competitive markets.”
Volodymyr Taftai, Country Director for Brazil at Atlaslive, added:
“Giving operators real choice in how they build their sportsbook is a competitive advantage – for them and for us. Altenar’s track record across regulated markets and their depth in risk management and trading make them the right partner to start with. We’re expanding our platform into a multi-sportsbook ecosystem because that’s what operators in today’s market need: flexibility without compromise on quality.”
The agreement reinforces Altenar’s commitment to building an open and adaptable sportsbook ecosystem that enables operators and platform providers to deliver differentiated sports betting experiences across regulated markets worldwide.
