A boost in online gambling revenue was insufficient to counterbalance the decline in the land-based business.
Denmark.- The Danish gaming authority, Spillemyndigheden, has stated that gambling revenue in the country was DKK533 million (€74 million) in September. This is a 2.8% year-on-year decrease and a 3.2% consecutive decrease following an increase in GGR in August.
Online gaming was again the main source of revenue, with DKK288 million, a 12.1 percent increase year on year but a decrease from DKK299 million in August. Slot machines accounted for 77.1 percent of internet gaming revenue, while blackjack and roulette contributed 6.7%, poker 3.6%, bingo 3.1%, and other games 2.7%.
In contrast, sports betting revenue plummeted by 21.7%, with retail locations accounting for only 15.2% of total revenue. Revenue from physical slot machines fell 4.2 percent, while revenue from land-based casinos fell 9.4 percent.

Spillemyndigheden also issued an update on the ROFUS self-exclusion system. There were 53,043 registrations at the conclusion of the month, with 66% opting for permanent exclusion. The StopSpillet helpline received 37 calls this month.
The regulator recently revealed that young individuals aged 18 to 25 were the most likely to use its StopSpillet gambling assistance service. According to the regulator’s data, this age group has accounted for 37% of inquiries since the service’s introduction in 2019. Even more concerning was the fact that 4% of inquiries came from people under the age of 18, who are not legally allowed to bet.
