Danish residents can only gamble at online casinos that hold a licence issued by the Danish Gambling Authority (DGA). At the end of 2025 there were 41 online casino licences in Denmark (including three revenue-restricted ones), which has meant that there are a lot more choices for Danish players to be able to find an online casino that meets their gaming needs and enjoy the many bonuses, promotions and range of games that are on offer. Among the licensed brands with the most traffic are Danske Spil and its Tivoli Casino, Videoslots and Mr Vegas, Royal Casino and bet365. Players can exclude themselves from all licensed online gambling and all land based casinos via the national self-exclusion register ROFUS.

Online Casino Games - Denmark
The Online Casino Games that are preferred by the Danish are Roulette and Blackjack. They also enjoy playing Baccarat, Texas Hold ´em and 3 Card Poker, Craps, Keno and Video Poker.

Casinos in Denmark
There are only 7 licensed casinos in Denmark and the DGA does not issue licences freely. Only when one of the current licences becomes available will it be put out to tender, and the government can decide to allow additional licences; in August 2026 the DGA opened a new application round for land based casino licences of up to ten years, with a deadline of 3 November 2026. As well as authorising the premises, the Managers and employees that work in the casino must also be authorised by the DGA. Players have to be 18 or over to be able to enter the casinos in Denmark. The most popular is the Casino Copenhagen which has over 140 slots, blackjack, roulette, punto banco and poker tables. Other casinos in the country are the Casino Vesterport in Copenhagen, the Casino Aalborg, the Royal Casino Aarhus, the Casino Marienlyst in Helsingør, the Casino Odense and the Casino Munkebjerg in Vejle. As well as playing games at casinos, residents of Denmark can also play their favourite slots in licensed restaurants and gaming arcades.
Gambling Laws - Denmark
All gambling in Denmark was run by the state monopoly Danske Spil until pressure from the European Union led the Danish government to update its Laws. This resulted in the Danish Act on Gambling (Act No. 848 of 1 July 2010), which came into force on 1 January 2012. The law has seperated gambling activities into many categories, lotteries, online casinos, betting, poker, gaming machines and land based casinos. If an online casino wants to operate in Denmark, they can apply to the DGA for an online betting licence and/or an online casino licence. If granted, licensees will be closely monitored by the Spillemyndigheden to ensure compliance. A licence for online casino or betting can be issued for up to five years, while a revenue-restricted licence is valid for one year. Danske Spil kept its monopoly on lotteries, while land based bingo has been open to licensed operators since 1 January 2025. The minimum age for almost all gambling, online and in casinos, is 18.
