Share of players switched from offline to online
Maximum informative text
Introduction
2025 confirmed a steady downward trend in offline gambling interest and online sector growth. In Australia, this dynamic is particularly pronounced, with users favouring digital platforms for convenience, more choice of games and transactional transparency.
General Transition Statistics
In 2025, about 38-42% of players who previously visited offline casinos and poker clubs completely or partially switched to online.
At the same time, about 25% continue to combine both formats, but the bulk of deposits are made in online casinos.
Only 33-35% of players remain committed to exclusively offline establishments.
Main reasons for transition
1. Convenience and availability
- Online casinos work around the clock and are available from mobile devices.
2. Wider line of games
- Online platforms offer thousands of slots and live games that are not available offline.
3. Transparent bonuses and promotions
- In 2025, about 60% of new online players noted welcome bonuses as a major factor in the transition.
4. Financial flexibility
- Minimum deposits online are lower than in traditional establishments.
5. Social factors
- After the pandemic period, many players preferred the remote format, and the habit was fixed.
Regional features
In large cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane), the share of switched players reaches 45%, as access to the Internet and the popularity of mobile gambling is higher.
In regions and small towns, the indicator is lower - 30-32%, due to the traditional commitment to offline clubs.
Transition age structure
Young people (18-30 years old) - the highest share of the transition, more than 55% completely went online.
Average age (30-50 years) - about 40% combine both formats.
50 + years - remain the most resistant to changing habits, less than 25% actively play online.
Result
The proportion of players switching from offline gambling to online casinos in Australia in 2025 approached 40%. This trend continues to intensify, and further shifts in activity towards digital platforms can be expected in the coming years. The key factors were convenience, variety of games and bonus policy.
