AGC Guide to the Industry
The AGC's Guide to Australasia's Gambling Industries is a comprehensive collation of statistics and data covering a wide range of information about gambling and the gambling industries in Australia and New Zealand.
The AGC Guide is updated periodically as fresh information becomes available and each chapter has a version notation.
In October 2023 the Queensland Government Statistician's Office, Queensland Treasury, released the 38th edition of Australian Gambling Statistics, covering data from 1994-95 to 2020-21.
The current AGC Guide reflects the period 2019-20 only (with limited updates in progress).
Comparisons of figures from previous editions of the Australian Gambling Statistics should be interpreted with caution:
- From 11 March 2020, when the World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic in response to the spread of COVID-19, there were significant changes in the availability of gambling activities in Australia, with land-based gambling venues temporarily closed and major sporting codes suspended.
- The 37th edition of the Australian Gambling Statistics is the first time the Racing and Sports Betting industries were combined under the one Wagering sector banner. This represents a significant break in time series for all Australian states and territories.
TheExplanatory Notesfor the 37th edition of theAustralian Gambling Statisticsprovides detailed information on the impact of COVID-19 restrictions in each state and territory, and the rationale behind changes to the way wagering data is collected.
Note:
National statistics in the AGC Guide for Australia are sourced from the Government Statistician (GS) which publishes, through Queensland Treasury and Trade, an annual statistical set in co-operation with all Australian state and territory governments.
