Report detailing efforts in combating illicit gambling by the Danish Gambling Authority
In 2023, the Danish Gambling Authority took significant strides in its mission to combat illegal gambling activities. The Authority's efforts included partnerships with various stakeholders, such as social media platforms, tech giants like Apple, Facebook, and Google, and even the Danish Tax Agency's anti-fraud unit.
The Authority's initiatives were focused on education, with campaigns aimed at raising awareness about the risks associated with illegal gambling. These efforts bore fruit, as 49 illegal gambling websites were successfully blocked in 2023. One of the blocked websites was stake.com, a major international gambling operator.
The Authority's market analysis team conducted searches for potentially illicit gambling websites, contributing to the swift identification and reporting of illegal gambling content for prompt removal from platforms accessible to Danish users. This collaboration enabled a more proactive approach to combating unlicensed gambling operators targeting Danish players.
The Authority's efforts were intensified in 2023, leading to a noticeable increase in online illegal gambling activities. However, the report indicates that Denmark's illicit gambling market remains restricted, with high channelization rates indicating a substantial portion of the market operating within regulations.
The Authority is also proactively tackling forms of illegal gambling such as "skin betting" and the convergence of gambling and video games. The Authority's initiatives extend globally, collaborating with other European gambling regulators to exchange information and best practices.
Despite these efforts, as of August 2025, there are no confirmed latest initiatives existing publicly regarding joint efforts by the Danish Gambling Authority with Apple, Facebook, or Google specifically for illegal gambling enforcement in Denmark. The Authority continues to urge citizens to report any instances of illegal gambling they come across.
The Danish Gambling Authority's annual report published in 2023 highlights the continued efforts of the Authority to monitor and combat illegal gambling activities over the last decade. The report underscores the Authority's dedication to ensuring a safe and regulated gambling environment for Danish citizens.
