It is my understanding that locusts were the first to be damaged even before the pandemics. It is not only the bookmakers that became tougher, but more importantly it is the payment processors that decided to ''play safe'' to a large extend.
Then, their bots stopped working as they were focusing in just 1 bookmaker and that bookmaker would not be the sucker for too long.
In the end:
1. Most low ranking locusts retired.
2. Most middle ranking locusts try to scam other middle ranking locusts, before they too retire, or move to other business.
3. High ranking locusts moved to other fields of economy (or crime?), while some just keep an eye in the business just in case something good happens.
