What is GGR?
GGR is the main revenue metric for operators in gambling and betting. It is calculated as follows: total bets minus total winnings paid to players. In online casinos, a bet is the sum of all rounds played; at a bookmaker, it is the sum of accepted bets.
What is NGR?
NGR is the core metric for calculating operator revenue in gambling and betting. It shows how much gaming income the company keeps after bonus costs and other adjustments, so it reflects the economics more accurately than GGR.
