Danish gambling market figures 2024 - what Spillemyndigheden reports

When we write about Danish casinos we separate official market data from Spillemyndigheden and our casino overview of licensed operators. This article covers the former - *The Gambling Market in Numbers 2024*, published 29 April 2025.

The figures describe the entire Danish gambling market - not only the 64 casino profiles we review on Kasinoer.online. Use this as context when comparing operators in our directory or topic pages.

Official headline figures for 2024

According to Spillemyndigheden (*source: spillemyndigheden.dk, April 2025*):

• Total Danish gambling spend 2024: approx. DKK 11.0 billion
• Growth vs 2023: +5.6%
• Channelisation (licensed market): 91.5% - up from 90.8% in 2023
• Trend: Share of spend from online is rising; land-based share falls accordingly

Channelisation means more players choose operators with a Danish permit rather than foreign sites without Spillemyndigheden oversight.

What it means for online casino players

The report does not rank our 64 reviewed brands individually - it shows market direction. Practical implications:

• More Danes play on licensed .dk domains (ROFUS, MitID, tax-free winnings)
• Online casino grows as part of total spend
• The authority continues tracking illegal gambling and ROFUS in the same publication

Our casino overview is based on Spillemyndigheden's official permit register: 39 licence holders and 83 approved domains as of June 2026. That differs from «64 casinos» - many domains cover sports, poker or sister brands under one licence.

Channelisation vs foreign sites

Even at 91.5% channelisation, some play occurs on foreign or unlicensed sites without Danish ROFUS, oversight or tax-free treatment under Danish rules.

Use licence verification before depositing.

ROFUS and responsible gambling

The annual edition also includes key figures for ROFUS and StopSpillet - tools that only work on the licensed market.

Our assessment - not official data

Kasinoer.online rates operators on bonus, payments, app and support (editorial 1–10 rating). Those are opinions and test methods - not Spillemyndigheden statistics.

Conclusion
