Spending in Denmark’s gaming sector increased by a modest 0.6% in February 2025 over the same month the previous year. The main cause of this development, according to Danish gaming regulator Spillemyndigheden, is an increase in online casino activity.
Spending at internet casinos increased, but other gambling industries saw decreases. Revenues from land-based casinos, gaming machines, and betting were lower than in February 2024. With digital gaming choices becoming more popular, the trend toward online platforms continues to reflect shifting customer preferences.
Annual Gambling Spend Reaches DKK 11 Billion
Spillemyndigheden released detailed data on Denmark’s gambling spending for 2024 in addition to the monthly figures. According to the report, DKK 11 billion was spent on gaming overall, a 5.6% increase over 2023. The growing market for online gaming is reflected in this rise, which is equal to DKK 581 million.
Information from the Register of Self-Excluded Players (ROFUS) and the StopSpillet hotline was also incorporated into the regulator’s update. These programs are a part of Denmark’s continuous efforts to encourage responsible gaming and help players who are struggling.
In contrast to traditional gaming establishments, online casinos are becoming more and more popular. This change has been influenced by elements including ease of use, accessibility, and the range of digital products available.
While the increase in online gambling presents growth opportunities, regulators remain focused on ensuring player protection. StopSpillet and ROFUS provide essential resources for those seeking assistance with gambling-related issues.
