Danish Gambling Authority Publishes the Annual Report “The Gambling Market in Numbers 2024”

The Danish Gambling Authority has published the annual report “The Gambling Market in Numbers 2024”, which summarises the year that has passed on the gambling market in Denmark.

The report shows that Denmark’s total gambling spend in 2024 amounted to DKK 11.0 billion. This is an increase of 5.6% compared to 2023. At the same time, “The Gambling Market in Numbers” shows that an increasing share of online gambling takes place at operators with a licence to offer gambling in Denmark. Thus, the channelisation rate in 2024 rose to 91.5% from 90.8% in 2023, placing Denmark in fifth place over the countries, with the largest share of online gambling taking place on the regulated gambling market.

Tables and figures also describe the development of all gambling categories: charity lotteries, land-based casinos, monopoly lotteries, online casinos, gaming machines and betting. The overall trend remains that the share of gambling spend that comes from online gambling is increasing while the share of land-based gambling is decreasing accordingly.

One theme in this year’s edition of “The Gambling Market in Numbers” is the Men’s Euro, which took place in the summer of 2024. The betting activity during the period clearly showed that the Danes play when Denmark plays.

In addition to statistics for the gambling market, the report also delves into key figures for ROFUS (Register of Self-Excluded Players) and StopSpillet, the Gambling Authority’s helpline on gambling addiction and responsible gambling.
