Danish online gambling revenue soars in June, total GGR down nearly 20%

• Spillemyndigheden published its latest statistical data, uncovering details regarding the performance of gambling operators during June
• Overall, the total gross gaming revenue reported last month was down 17% year-over-year, a result that was partially offset by growth in online gambling revenue
• Registrations with the country's self-exclusion register hit 62,400

The Danish Gambling Authority, Spillemyndigheden, recently published new data, revealing a notable decrease in gross gaming revenue (GGR) reported in June compared to the same period last year.

The new report emerged on Wednesday, confirming a nearly 20% decrease in total GGR.

Online gaming revenue increase helps offset an overall dip in GGR during June

In total, the GGR reported by the licensed gambling sector in the country this June halted at DKK 585m ($91m).

A year-over-year comparison to the corresponding period in 2024 reveals a notable decrease of 17%.

The latest monthly statistics by the Danish Gambling Authority provides a breakdown of the total GGR for June.

Concerningly, the biggest year-over-year decrease was recorded by the betting vertical. The betting GGR this June fell by 53.5% to DKK 126m ($19.6m).

Explaining the decrease, the country's gambling regulator wrote:" The large decrease may be due to the fact that the European Football Championship was held in June 2024."

A smaller decrease year-over-year was observed in terms of gaming machines' GGR.

Per the latest monthly statistics, gaming machines' GGR in June halted at DKK 92m ($14.3m). This figure, compared to the corresponding period in 2024, points to a 6.5% decrease.

Land-based casino games also posted a decrease year-over-year. In total, land-based casino revenue in June halted at DKK 32m ($5m), down by 2.2% year-over-year.

The newly released data reveals that land-based bingo reported DKK 2m ($311,100) revenue in June.

Despite the decrease in several operating segments, a notable increase was observed in online casino revenue.

In total, online casino operators posted DKK 333m ($51.8m) revenue in June.

A year-over-year comparison shows a 10% increase in online casino revenue.

What's more, online casino games were responsible for the lion's share of the total GGR, with this segment representing 49.92% of the total revenue.

ROFUS registrations increase steadily

Besides statistical data about revenue reported by the gambling sector in Denmark, the newly released report discloses information about the country's national self-exclusion register, ROFUS.

The total registered persons with ROFUS as of June 2025 were 62,400, per Spillemyndigheden's data.

This figure points to a steady growth trajectory with a year-over-year increase.

As of June 2025, the permanently registered persons with ROFUS were 40,160, while temporary individuals registered with the program were 22,240.

The majority of the registrations, or 78.38%, belong to men, while women's registrations amounted to 21.62% of the total.
