Denmark licenses online betting and casino games through Spillemyndigheden, the Danish Gambling Authority. Operators targeting Denmark must hold the appropriate Danish licence and appear on the official licensee list; a foreign licence alone is insufficient. ROFUS provides national self-exclusion. This guide explains verification, payments, complaints and safer gambling.
Online gambling in Denmark
Betting and online casinos require licences from the Danish Gambling Authority. The authority publishes current licensees and blocks illegal websites. Check the exact brand, domain and product because a licence is not a blanket approval for every service operated by a group.
Verify before depositing
- Match the company and domain with the official licensee information.
- Confirm that the licence covers betting or online casino as applicable.
- Look for the Danish licence mark and verify it independently.
- Avoid mirrors, unofficial apps and transfers to personal accounts.
Protection and complaints
ROFUS allows temporary or permanent exclusion from licensed gambling and certain advertising. Use payment methods in your own name and keep statements, wagers and messages. Submit a written complaint to the operator; if unresolved, follow the approved dispute route and notify the Authority about licensing or illegal-operation concerns. Contact the bank immediately if fraud is suspected.
Responsible gambling
Set firm money and time limits, never borrow and do not chase losses. Use ROFUS and StopSpillet support when control weakens.
