Copenhagen, June 2025 — Denmark’s regulated gambling market has entered a new era, powered by digital convenience and mobile-first behavior. In the first four months of 2025, online casinos and mobile sports betting generated over DKK 7.7 billion, with record-setting momentum in April.
According to figures released by Spillemyndigheden, Denmark’s gaming authority, online casino revenue reached DKK 4.8 billion from January to April, led by a robust DKK 331 million in April alone, a 21.4% increase compared to the same month last year. The top-performing vertical? Online slots, which accounted for 78.9% of all online casino activity.
Meanwhile, sports betting brought in DKK 2.96 billion during the same period, with over 70.7% of bets placed via mobile devices. In April, betting revenue rose to DKK 207 million, showing a strong 6.1% year-on-year gain.
The shift is clear: mobile platforms dominate. In fact, 67.2% of all wagers were placed via smartphones, with computers accounting for just 24% and physical venues under 9%. Saturdays and Sundays remain the busiest days for betting activity, particularly for mobile users.
Other segments are shrinking in comparison. Land-based casinos and bingo halls together generated less than DKK 500 million, a fraction of the total market share. Retail slot machines still contribute significantly, with DKK 1.5 billion reported, but even this segment is being outpaced by its digital counterpart.
These numbers reflect a tech-savvy, frictionless gambling ecosystem, fully embraced by Danish players. The country now stands as one of Europe’s most digitalized gambling environments, with seamless integration between regulated access, mobile usability, and a diversified offering.
As the market heads into summer, all eyes are on mobile innovation, AI-driven interfaces, and player experience as key levers for sustained growth. With robust regulatory oversight and continued digital penetration, Denmark’s gaming market is proving that smart regulation and online scale can coexist—and thrive.
