Baby Boomers and Gen X Responsible for Increased Betting Activity in Q4 20
![baby-boomers-and-gen-x-responsible-for-increased-betting-activity-in-q4-20](https://recentslotreleases.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/144493-baby-boomers-and-gen-x-responsible-for-increased-betting-activity-in-q4-20.png)
Betting activity increased slightly in Q4 2024 to 26% of consumers, compared to 24% in the same period of 2023. However, this uptick was caused by significant generational changes in activity, primarily among Baby Boomers and Millennials, according to a new report from TransUnion (NYSE: TRU).
While Millennials have dominated all forms of betting in recent years, this generationâs engagement dropped 5% YoY in Q4 2024. Conversely, Baby Boomers and Gen Xers got more involved, with 7% and 4% respective YoY increases. Gen Z bettorsâ participation remained about the same. These and many more findings are available in TransUnionâs latest US Betting Report.
âThe demographic shift in betting activity serves as a good reminder that the best predictor of engagement is not age but rather increased earnings and liquidity,â said Declan Raines, head of TransUnionâs Gaming business. âThose who have a sudden influx of disposable income are more likely to participate in betting, and operators should keep that in mind when developing their marketing strategies.â
In addition to Millennials, fewer high-value bettors engaged in online and land-based betting activities. High-value bettors are those who spend more than $500 per month on betting. This groupâs engagement dropped by 8% with land-based operators and 9% with online operators.
Healthier finances among bettors
The report found high-value bettors also attained improved overall finances. In Q4 2024, 54% of those betting $500 or more per month had good or excellent credit combined with middle or high income. This was up from 50% in the same period in 2023. In addition, those with the riskiest financial profileâhaving lower income and fair or poor creditâfell from 7% in Q4 2023 to just 4% in Q4 2024.
Bettors proved to have a more resilient financial profile than non-bettors. More than half of consumers who bet in either land-based or online channels said their income had gone up a little or a lot in the past 3 months. Only 21% of non-bettors said the same.
Consumer Credit Scores: Bettors vs Non-bettors
Consumers who bet also had stronger credit scores, with more than half of land-based and online bettors indicating good or excellent credit scores, compared to just 47% of non-bettors. Conversely, one-third of non-bettors fell into credit score ranges that indicate poorer credit qualityâincluding those who donât know their scoreâcompared to 22% of online bettors and 20% of land-based bettors.
Mounting regulatory pressure
Regulators and consumer advocacy groups became more focused on the betting industry in 2024. Recent studies published by Northwestern and UCLA outlining the risks to personal finances among a subset of players served to elevate the pressure on gaming operators to implement reasonable procedures to identify and curb problem gaming. In response, the industry formed the Responsible Online Gaming Association (ROGA) to establish industry-wide responsible gaming standards and support research and education on safe practices.
TransUnionâs US Betting Report has consistently found bettors experience higher levels of financial volatilityâboth positive and negativeârelative to non-bettors. This represents a significant challenge for operators when engaging in responsible gaming assessments. It is imperative that gaming operators stay vigilant to ensure their most active players can sustain high levels of play without compromising their financial health.
âAs the industry matures, new tools have emerged to help operators assess playersâ financial resilience and promote responsible gaming,â said Raines. âAdopting these measures will help build on the significant investments made by the industry in responsible gaming to date as well as demonstrate good faith efforts to regulators and consumers while protecting profitability for operators in the long run.â
