InterCasino announced a 12% increase in gambling activity over Christmas and Boxing Day, compared to any other Sunday and Monday and also compared to last year, primarily due to players escaping the in-laws and family.
Some of the players interviewed by the online casino gave the following reasons for spending a festive day betting online:
“I was testing a new computer I was given for Christmas.”
“The in-laws were staying – this was the my only respite from the chatter and the only time I got to be by myself.”
“Christmas? I don\’t celebrate that – a takeaway and some online gambling is all I need during this time.”
“I was hoping to win some money back to cover the costs of Christmas.”
