Summary

Denmark has run a licensed online gambling market since 1 January 2012, when the Gambling Act (Lov om spil) opened betting and online casino to private operators. The Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden), an agency under the Ministry of Taxation and Economic Growth, grants licences of up to five years for betting and for online casino, which covers slots, table games, poker and online bingo. Lottery remains a monopoly of Danske Spil, and land-based bingo opened to licensing on 1 January 2025. Betting and online casino pay a duty of 28% of gross gaming revenue, declared monthly to the Danish Tax Agency, and the ministry's rate table keeps 28% for 2027. Player protection is detailed and prescriptive: MitID verification, a deposit limit every player must set, ROFUS self-exclusion checks at sign-up, at login and before any marketing, and bonuses capped at DKK 1,000 with wagering of no more than ten times. Online casino produced DKK 4.16 billion of gross gaming revenue in 2025 in nominal terms, up 17.9%, and was the largest segment of the market; 73% of all gambling revenue now comes from online play. ROFUS held 68,026 registrations at the end of 2025 and about 73,500 by August 2026. The main reform has stalled. The October 2025 agreement, Spilpakke 1, would ban adverts around live sport, celebrities and under-25s in adverts, and revenue-based affiliate pay, but its bill lapsed when the session ended on 24 March 2026 and has not been reintroduced. Enforcement continues: a court ordered 98 sites blocked in July 2026, Polymarket among them.

Common pitfalls

Reporting Spilpakke 1 as law: the whistle-to-whistle ban, the under-25 advert ban and the affiliate commission ban were agreed in October 2025, but bill L 127 lapsed on 24 March 2026. Mixing price bases: the DGA annual report states GGR in GDP-adjusted 2026 prices (online casino DKK 4,309 million for 2025), while the monthly data file also gives nominal figures (DKK 4,160 million); this record uses nominal. Reading Betting as an online figure: the DGA Betting series combines online and land-based play, and 13% of 2025 betting GGR was land-based. The Gambling Act does not apply in Greenland or the Faroe Islands.

Typical time to licence
The DGA gives an indicative processing time of about three months for renewals once all material is received.
Bank guarantee or bond
No bond is prescribed. Player balances are trust funds that must sit in a segregated, set-off-free bank account at least equal to all player balances and protected on insolvency (BEK 682/2025, s. 11, with the equivalent rule for betting in BEK 684/2025). Whether that protection holds in bankruptcy is before the Supreme Court in the DK Gambling case.
Certification requirements
Gambling systems, business procedures and business systems must be certified by an accredited testing company before use, and suppliers' random number generators and games before supply (BEK 682/2025, s. 35). Licensees must keep game data in a separate data store (SAFE) sealed by the DGA Tamper Token system and give the DGA remote access (s. 34 and annex 1).
Barriers to entry
Applicants must be established in Denmark or the EU/EEA, or appoint a DGA-approved representative resident or established in Denmark (ss. 27 and 30); owners and managers must pass fit and proper tests (ss. 26 to 29). Player information must be available in Danish (BEK 682/2025, s. 14). A first-year compliance report by a DGA-approved firm is due within 14 months (s. 43). The main cost is fiscal: 28% duty on GGR plus a banded supervision fee. During 2025 there were 27 betting and 41 online casino licences, including 2 and 3 revenue-restricted ones.

Compliance

Minimum age
18+
National self-exclusion
ROFUS (Register Over Frivilligt Udelukkede Spillere) (mandatory)
KYC timing
Verification must be completed when the customer relationship is established and before the first deposit (s. 3). Until then only a temporary account is allowed: deposits capped at DKK 10,000, no withdrawals, closed if not verified within 30 days (s. 6). Spilpakke 1 agreed to abolish temporary accounts; not yet enacted.
AML regime
Gambling providers are obliged entities under the Anti-Money Laundering Act. Amendments in force from 15 September 2026 require proliferation-financing risk assessments, controls for financial sanctions and an independent audit function. Recent cases show enhanced due diligence is expected early: Betano was reprimanded for waiting six months after a new customer deposited DKK 199,500 in 16 days.
AML supervisor
Danish Gambling Authority (Anti-Money Laundering Act, s. 65)
Deposit limits
Before playing, every player must set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit; the operator may not pre-set the amounts except an upper limit, and an increase takes effect after 24 hours at the earliest (BEK 682/2025, s. 21; BEK 684/2025).
Loss limits
None required today. Spilpakke 1 agreed a mandatory loss limit and a 48-hour delay before increases to deposit or loss limits take effect; not yet enacted.
Session limits
No session limit; a clock must be visible on the site at all times (BEK 682/2025, s. 17). Spilpakke 1 agreed automatic log-out after 15 minutes of inactivity; not yet enacted.
Affordability checks
Operators must monitor players' gambling patterns and act to prevent problem gambling, with written procedures, risk assessment of players and records kept for five years (BEK 682/2025, s. 22).
Central monitoring system
SAFE data store with the DGA Tamper Token integrity system, plus ROFUS checks by web service at registration, at every login and within 24 hours before any marketing is sent (BEK 682/2025, ss. 25 and annex 1).
Data localisation
Game data must be held in the licensee's own data store (SAFE) on a server physically separate from the gaming system, with online access for the DGA; the online casino order sets no Danish location for it.
KYC requirements
Operators must collect and verify the player's name and CPR number (or equivalent), with documentation set by a risk assessment. An electronic ID from the Danish national scheme (MitID) or one approved by the DGA, at substantial assurance or higher, is required to open an account, on first login from a new device and to change identity details; deposits, withdrawals and changes of payment instrument need electronic ID or strong customer authentication (BEK 682/2025, ss. 2 and 7, with equivalent rules in BEK 684/2025).
Stake limits
Not yet verified
Mandatory player messaging
Sites must show that under-18s may not play, responsible gambling information prepared with a treatment centre, a self-test, Danish treatment centres, the StopSpillet helpline and ROFUS, with the DGA licence mark on the front page (BEK 682/2025, ss. 15 and 16).
Reporting obligations
A compliance report one year after the licence is taken into use, prepared by a DGA-approved firm and due within 14 months, then an annual statement within five months of each financial year end (Gambling Act, s. 43). Monthly duty returns by the 15th of the following month.
Game content restrictions
Online bingo formats are prescribed, with at least 3 seconds between drawn numbers (BEK 682/2025, s. 19). Spilpakke 1 agreed bans on bonus buys and on celebrating losses with win effects on slots; not yet enacted.

Advertising

Advertising permitted
Yes
Watershed
No statutory watershed today. Spilpakke 1 agreed a ban on gambling adverts on television and streaming from ten minutes before to ten minutes after live sport, and on live odds on stadium banners; bill L 127 lapsed on 24 March 2026 and has not been reintroduced.
Affiliate rules
Affiliates are not licensed, but intermediating unlicensed gambling (s. 59(2)) and advertising unlicensed operators (s. 59(5)(4)) are offences: in June 2026 ACR Teknik accepted a DKK 20,000 fine for linking to GG.bet. Spilpakke 1 agreed to ban revenue-based affiliate commission and let the DGA block affiliate sites; not yet enacted.
Sponsorship rules
The Gambling Act has no sponsorship-specific provisions; the s. 36 marketing rules apply to marketing in any form.
Celebrity and influencer rules
Celebrities may not be used to imply untruthfully that gambling helped their success (s. 36(1)(4)). Streamers may not link to or promote sites without a Danish licence. Spilpakke 1 agreed to ban authorities and people under 25 from adverts and make influencers liable; not yet enacted.
Social media rules
The same rules apply online, including the ban on media choices aimed at under-18s; the DGA says push notifications can count as marketing that needs a ROFUS check.
Bonus advertising rules
A promotion may be worth at most DKK 1,000; any deposit requirement must match 100% of its value; wagering is capped at 10 times deposit plus bonus with no wagering on winnings; players get at least 60 days; offers must go to at least 100 players and inactivity may not be a selection criterion. All material terms must be stated clearly next to the offer (BEK 682/2025, ss. 29 and 30; BEK 684/2025).
Mandatory warnings
Marketing must state clearly the age limit, the StopSpillet helpline and the option to self-exclude in ROFUS (BEK 682/2025, s. 28).
Penalties for breach
Breach of the s. 36 marketing rules is punishable by a fine (s. 59(5)(1)); the DGA can also issue orders and reprimands (s. 49 a).

Restrictions

  • Marketing must present the chance of winning correctly and in a balanced way (Gambling Act, s. 36(1)(1)).
  • Gambling must be presented as entertainment (s. 36(1)(2)).
  • Marketing may not target under-18s in its form of communication or its choice of media (s. 36(1)(3)).
  • Marketing may not untruthfully imply that gambling contributed to a celebrity's success (s. 36(1)(4)).
  • Marketing may not suggest that gambling solves financial problems or brings social acceptance (s. 36(1)(5)).
  • Operators must check ROFUS no earlier than 24 hours before sending marketing and may not market to registered players (BEK 682/2025, s. 25(5)).
  • Advertising for operators without a Danish licence is an offence (s. 59(5)(4)).
  • The Danish Marketing Practices Act applies alongside the Gambling Act.

Payment intermediation of stakes and winnings to or from an illegal operator is prohibited (Gambling Act, s. 65).

Offering, arranging or supplying gambling in Denmark without a licence: fine or up to 6 months in prison, rising to 1 year in aggravated cases; intermediating unlicensed gambling: fine (s. 59). Companies can be held criminally liable (s. 61).
Operator liability
A site counts as offered in Denmark if it uses Danish language, currency or customer service, Danish-only payment methods such as Dankort, pre-filled Danish details, Steam or Roblox login, or marketing aimed at Denmark. Blocking is by court order to telecom providers; under an updated agreement with Teleindustrien described in the DGA 2025 report, mirror sites of a site already ruled illegal can be blocked without a new order.

Denmark Reopens Land-Based Casino Licensing Window as Retail GGR Falls 5.6%

Denmark's gambling regulator has opened applications for new and renewed land-based casino licences for the first time this year, even as the segment posted a 5.6% decline in GGR and now accounts for just 3% of the total market. The move signals a structural recalibration rather than a recovery.
