UK betting shops and casinos have been ordered to close their doors effective immediately, part of the government’s efforts to reduce spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

On Friday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that all ‘social venues’ – including everything from pubs, restaurants, cinemas, gyms and museums, as well as betting shops and casinos – would have to close their doors for an “initial” 14-day period, after which the government will review the situation on a monthly basis.

Prior to Johnson’s press conference, Flutter Entertainment announced that its 350-odd Paddy Power shops in the UK would close their doors Friday until the end of April. The move follows a similar move at Paddy Power’s shops in Ireland (along with rival BoyleSports).

Earlier this week, Flutter estimated that its annual earnings could fall by up to £110m if the suspension of various sports leagues and events, including this summer’s Euro 2020 tournament, continued. The company added that a suspension of racing fixtures and the closure of its UK/Irish retail shops would trim another £30m off its 2020 results.
