DKK 585 million was reported as total gross gaming revenue across all gambling sectors, which is a 17% drop from the previous year.

Summary

• In June 2025, Danish spent 17% less on gambling, which is a total of DKK 585 million.
• Betting earnings dropped by 53.50 percent because there was no European Football Championship in 2024.
• Money earned from online casinos grew by 10 percent, so this area kept increasing.
• Land casinos and slots made a little bit less money.

In June 2025 Danish Gambling Authority reported a large drop in gambling spend. Total gross gaming revenue from regulated gambling was DKK 585 million, which is a 17% drop from the previous year. The statistics present a mixed picture of Danish gambling. Online casinos did very well, but at the same time other sectors did not do at all, which is true for sports betting.

Absence of European Championship Hits Betting Revenues

In June 2025, sports betting reported DKK 126 million, which is a 53.50 percent drop from June 2024. The Danish Gambling Authority reported that the 2024 European Football Championship didn’t take place, which in turn reduced sports betting action. Usually, this football event sees an increase in punters’ activity and its absence makes for much lower revenues.

Betting loss had a large effect because betting usually takes a big part of Denmark’s monthly gambling spending. On the other hand, online casinos went up by 10 percent in one year, making DKK 333 million in June. This keeps up a longer period of growth for online gambling in Denmark, which has been increasing a lot during 2025. Earlier in the same year, the Authority said that online gambling spending went up by over 40 percent in May compared to last year, showing one of the fastest growth rates since the Danish Gambling Act started in 2012.

Online Casinos Dominate Danish Gambling Market

Online casinos now take more than half of the Danish gambling market, as mobile gambling leads the way. Land casinos and slot machines lost some revenue in June. The latest monthly results also show information from the Authority’s efforts for responsible gambling. That includes ROFUS, which lets people block themselves from gambling, and StopSpillet, which helps people with gambling problems. ROFUS has signed up more people recently, finishing with more than 60,000 registered in 2025. Data from StopSpillet shows men aged 18 to 25 ask for help the most.

Gambling spending went down in June because the rules got stricter in Denmark. Spillemyndigheden, in July, made new marketing and promotion rules, so companies have to show more information and limit what offers they give. Back in June, the Authority won a court case blocking 178 illegal gambling sites, which is the highest amount blocked at one time in Denmark.
