DGA: Danes’ Gambling Spend Increased in February 2024
Denmark’s gambling regulator Spillemyndigheden has reported an increase in gambling spend for February 2024. The total gambling spend on betting, online casino, gaming machines and land-based casino amounted to DKK 587 million in February 2024. This corresponds to an increase of 18.3% compared to February 2023.
The total increase in the gambling spend is due to increases in all four gambling categories. Among other things, the spending on betting increased by 32.5%. The growth in betting may be explained by a lower RTP in February 2024 compared to February 2023.
