Strict national regulator

Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden)

Players in Denmark. Licensed operators display the authority's label, and winnings from licensed operators are already taxed.

My verdict

Denmark has a small, tightly run market. Mandatory deposit limits, MitID verification and a payout rule against delaying tactics all work for the player. You still complain through the operator and consumer bodies, not the authority. A clean Danish licence earns the top Licensing score.

What it requires from casinos

  • By law you must set a deposit limit when using an online casino.
  • Operators must offer temporary self-exclusion and at least 90 days of your gambling history.
  • Name and CPR number are collected at sign-up, usually through MitID, and verified within 30 days.
  • A temporary account lets you play 30 days with up to DKK 10,000 of deposits. You cannot withdraw until verified.
  • Verification must not be used to delay your payout unnecessarily.

What to watch out for

  • The authority supervises operators but cannot recover your money.
  • If your play changes or you bet large amounts, expect requests for payslips or bank statements.
  • The licence is for Danish players, and only about 40 operators held online casino licences in 2024.

How to check a casino holds this licence

Look for the authority's label on the site, then confirm the operator and its domain on the list of licensed operators.

If you have a dispute

Complain to the operator, which must handle complaints and tell you within 14 days when to expect a decision. Then use the Mediation Team for Consumer Complaints, the Consumer Complaints Board or the courts. The authority is not an appeals body.

Self-exclusion

ROFUS: Register of self-excluded players covering online gambling, land-based casinos and betting shops. Choose 24 hours, 1, 3 or 6 months, or permanent.
