Danish online gambling sets new revenue record

The Danish regulator Spillemyndigheden reported this week that online gambling turned in a strong performance in Q2-2017, delivering the highest revenues since liberalisation 5 years ago.

Interestingly, land gambling delivered less than a quarter of overall wagers as mobile betting again proved popular, accounting for 53.1 percent of sports bets, whilst desktop sources produced 23.5 percent.

Highlights of the quarter included:

* Overall GGR up 4 percent y-o-y at DKK 1.46 billion;

* Online casino and poker GGR up 16 percent at DKK458 million;

* Online poker GGR lower at DKK 33 million(Q2-2016: DKK 37.1 million);

* Revenue from online single player casino games up 18.6 percent y-o-y with significant growth in table and slot game revenue (slots generated around 68 percent of all online casino GGR);

* Sports betting GGR stable at DKK 522 million;

* Voluntary self-exclusions rose from 7,962 last October to 11,367 at the end of August 2017, the regulator reported, the majority of these permanent rather than cool-offs.
