Denmark’s gambling regulator Spillemyndigheden has revealed its latest figures for the country’s industry, with growth seen in the month of July.<\/p>\n

The gambling sector in Denmark saw revenue rise by 12.8% year-on-year to DKK634 million.<\/p>\n

Standing at close to $100 million, the July data from Spillemyndigheden demonstrates that gambling continues to get more popular in Denmark.<\/p>\n

Along with a significant increase on the July 2024 data that was reported, the new statistics from regulator Spillemyndigheden showed a rise of 8.4% on June’s revenues.<\/p>\n

A full breakdown of the Danish gambling sector has also been provided by Spillemyndigheden.<\/p>\n

Online Slots Lead Popularity<\/h2>\n

As is the case in most regulated markets around the world nowadays, online slots make up the majority of play at online casinos<\/a> in Denmark at the present time.<\/p>\n

The regulator’s data showed that the online casino sector took the most revenue in July 2025 at DKK349 million, a rise of more than a fifth (20.5%) compared to the same month last year.<\/p>\n

Blackjack was in second place behind online slots – albeit a long way back with DKK22.2 million of revenue taken over the course of the month – then roulette was in third with DKK16.8 million.<\/p>\n

Other revenue for online casinos in Denmark during the month of July 2025 was split across departments such as bingo, poker and other games.<\/p>\n

Sports betting had been in decline in the months of May and June, but the data from July showed DKK159 million in revenue was recorded, up 6% on last year’s figures.<\/p>\n

Land-based casinos have a relatively small share of the Danish gambling market as a whole but their revenue increased by 13.8% to DKK33 million year-on-year during July 2025.<\/p>\n

July’s data shows a recovery for the gambling industry as a whole from June, with regulator Spillemyndigheden having shown spending dropped by 17% year-on-year to DKK585 million.<\/p>\n

Self-Exclusion Rates Increasing<\/h2>\n

Spillemyndigheden has also provided an update on the number of people in Denmark who have signed up to the country’s self-exclusion scheme to prevent them from being able to gamble.<\/p>\n

By the end of August, the regulator said that a total of 62,577 people in Denmark had signed up.<\/p>\n

This means that when compared to the last update from the regulator, around 170 more players opted to take the step of self-exclusion during the course of the month.<\/p>\n

Of those people who have registered with ROFUS so far, close to two-thirds (65.%) of them have chosen the measure of taking a permanent exclusion from gambling.<\/p>\n

Men account for the majority (78.2%) of all sign-ups to the ROFUS self-exclusion scheme.<\/p>\n

Future Of Gambling Advertising Discussed<\/h2>\n

As is the case for many European nations right now, the gambling sector in Denmark is currently in something of a state of flux.<\/p>\n

Media watchdog data has revealed that during the course of 2024, there were 767,000 gambling adverts aired across Danish TV channels and radio stations.<\/p>\n

This is around five times higher than when the market was liberalised more than a decade ago. It means that there are an average of 2,100 gambling adverts aired on Danish media each day.<\/p>\n

Tax minister Rasmus Stoklund has opened up negotiations with the Folketinget over proposed reforms to gambling advertising, which he says have become too “aggressive”.<\/p>\n

Betting and gambling advertisements are becoming particularly common during sports broadcasts, for instance during football matches, with critics arguing this is normalising the industry in the eyes of younger viewers.<\/p>\n

Gambling advertising is a hot topic across the continent, with Denmark potentially among the countries set to introduce fresh restrictions on how the sector can promote itself.<\/p>\n
