Bingo also experienced a surge, increasing its revenue by 37.6% from the previous year. Sports betting was another climber, increasing by 34.4% in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The only major game that suffered was online poker, where revenue fell by 2.1% when compared to 2014.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.slotsmamma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/who-should-play-slots-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman in Casino on a slot machine\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slotsmamma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/who-should-play-slots-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.slotsmamma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/who-should-play-slots.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Moving back to increases, there were over 985,000 players registered at Spanish iGaming sites &#8211; a 19.6% increase from 2014. The average number of active players per month also rose, seeing a 16.2% spike. On the downside, their active players fell 2.7% from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Another number that stands out is how the average active male account spends \u20ac322 per year, versus just \u20ac146 for female spending. The biggest spending demographic includes men aged 36-45 years, who lost an average of \u20ac552. The lowest-spending demographic was females aged 18-25, who only spent \u20ac15 on average.<\/p>\n<p>More than 60% of the active players stuck with a single online gaming vertical, including 66.3% of sports bettors who never ventured out into anything new. Online poker players were the next-closest group, with 25.5% of them only playing poker.<\/p>\n<p>21.7% of the active players dabbled in both sports betting and poker, while 15.1% of gamblers enjoyed sports betting and roulette.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spanish online gaming market has mostly appealed to men in its short history.
