A streamer agreed to pay DKK 10,000 as a fine after promoting gambling sites on Twitch without having Danish licenses.
Twitch allows users to broadcast live video. Streams may feature gaming, product unboxing, or gambling.
On a number of occasions, the streamer promoted gambling sites not licensed for play in Denmark through his Twitch channels.
The Danish Gambling Authority made these repeated offences found in 2023 and reported the case to the police.
Following an investigation, the police upheld that the streamer had transgressed local gaming regulations and agreed with the Authority’s suggestion of a DKK 10,000 fine.
In another earlier case, the Danish Gambling Authority also filed a complaint against a different streamer for identical illegal advertisement of gambling and achieved a successful legal result.
