Following detailed research and expert industry knowledge, LeanBackPlayer has published a report on the health of the gambling industry; giving readers an invaluable insight into current trends and what the future may hold.

LeanBackPlayer has collected the whole spectrum of the critical data to bring readers a complete picture of the current situation in the gaming industry.

The world wide crisis of COVID has turned the entire economy on its head, leaving huge swathes of it in absolute turmoil; but how has the gambling industry fared in these troubled times?

This fascinating article breaks down the various angles on the COVID situation and leaves the reader with a much deeper understanding of the issues that will impact millions of gamblers, industry insiders and the economy as a whole for years to come.

Could The Future Of Online Gambling Be Recession Proof?

It has long been said that gambling is not a recession proof sector of the economy but the unusual circumstances of the current COVID crisis has brought even this long held adage into question.

People have been spending far longer at home due to lockdowns; spending a large proportion of their time online. This has meant that the negative impacts on the online gaming industry, while still significant, have been mitigated to some degree compared to other comparable sectors of the economy.

However, other factors that need to be taken into account include the restrictions on sporting events which has spelt disaster for bookies around the globe, the tax revenues that gambling generates and the prospects for the brick and mortar gambling sector.

Online casinos have been able to keep their doors open, and even though the largest generator of revenue remains the Slot machines, there is a gradual increase in the diversity of player’s preferences as their brick and mortar options remain limited.

Is The Trend Moving Towards Online Gaming?

Ever since the introduction of online gaming, the virtual casino has been slowly capturing more and more of the market share, taking players from brick and mortar institutions and bringing them to online platforms instead.

There are concerns among experts who have pointed out that the ability to gamble from the comfort of one’s own home may be leading to more problematic gambling behaviours. The impact of the COVID crisis in 2020 has not yet been fully analyzed in the context of problematic gambling by experts, however in their recently published article, LeanBackPlayer breaks down some of the key observations on this societal issue, and many others, in a clear and concise way.

Deal expands Stake Denmark’s casino catalogue following the operator’s five-year Danish licence approval earlier this year.

Alessandro Sorci, Sales Manager at Stakelogic, said: “There is a real sense of intent behind Stake’s arrival in Denmark, which makes this an exciting partnership for us. Launching our full slot portfolio with the brand means players can experience the range we have built at Stakelogic, from more recognisable series to releases with a very different visual identity and tone.”

Peter Eugen Clausen, Managing Director for Stake Denmark added: “Entering Denmark was an important step for Stake, and as we continue to establish the brand locally, it is important that the casino experience has real depth from the beginning.

Event backs DAR Bjorn’s new Respite Centre after €200,000 raised in 2025, with proceeds earmarked for equipment and four resident rooms.

BGaming will stage the second edition of its Charity Gala on 29 May 2026 at The Phoenicia Hotel in Malta, with proceeds directed to DAR Bjorn, the country’s neurological home.

The iGaming supplier said the event follows its inaugural gala, which raised €200,000 in 2025 and helped fund construction of DAR Bjorn’s new Respite Centre. For 2026, BGaming said funds raised will be used to equip the new centre with ventilators, motorized beds, air mattresses, hoist lifters and oxygen concentrators, and to fund four resident rooms for new admissions. The company added that “every euro raised will be allocated directly to DAR Bjorn,” and that BGaming will cover event production costs separately.

DAR Bjorn was founded by Bjorn Formosa, who previously worked in iGaming before being diagnosed with ALS at 28, according to BGaming. The charity currently provides care to around 60 residents across two centres and supports nearly 800 people in the community.

The invitation-only event will be held at the Bastion Pool area of The Phoenicia Hotel. BGaming said it is partnering with Next.io as official media partner, with Joseph Chetcuti set to host. The programme includes live music by Versatile, an art performance and auction by L7Matrix and Gonçalo MAR, and a charity raffle.

Marina Ostrovtsova, Chief Executive Officer at BGaming, said: “Last year’s Gala showed us what is possible when our industry comes together around a shared purpose. Raising €200,000 in a single evening was a remarkable achievement and provided real, tangible support to the people at DAR Bjorn who need it most.

“Returning for a second year with an even greater ambition is something we are incredibly proud of. The funds we raise this year will go toward equipment that directly improves residents’ quality of life. These donations are the difference between comfort and hardship for people living with serious neurological conditions, and we hope both the iGaming community and the wider Maltese community will once again stand with us.”
