Danish Gambling Authority releases updates to bingo certification program
Due to the liberalization of online bingo from 1 January 2018, the Danish Gambling Authority (DGA) is currently working on an update to its certification program.
An updated version will be published later this week. The DGA knows that a number of interested parties are awaiting the updated requirements, so these will be specified here.
The requirements in the certification program will reflect the requirements in the executive order. Here are the most significant:
- Only online bingo with 75, 80 or 90 numbers/symbols is allowed.
- Bingo cards for games with 75 numbers/symbols must have five times five squares.
- Bingo cards for games with 80 numbers/symbols must have four times four squares.
- Bingo cards for games with 90 numbers/symbols must have three times nine squares.
- The sale of bingo cards cannot start until 30 minutes before the game starts.
- There must be at least three seconds between the draw/presentation of each number/symbol
- The player cannot select numbers/symbols for the bingo card themselves or make changes to their bingo cards. The players are however allowed to select bingo cards between a number of bingo cards randomly generated by the gambling system.
- Both manual and automatic marking of drawn numbers/symbols must be possible.
- The game must end when the first player has a full bingo card.
The specification above is with reservation for the content in the final executive order, which will come into force on 1 January 2018.
The DGA is aware of and appreciate the fact that it will be very difficult to have games tested and inspected before the end of the year. The DGA must, however, point out that whether or not a bingo game is tested, it must comply with requirements in the coming executive order.

Dribble brings a Moneyball sports-analytics approach to the amateur game by presenting players with the chance to track their performance, while connecting with the wider football community to earn recognition for their on-pitch performances.
Players can track their games and see their data, earning points based on how they, and their team, perform in matches. Players vote for their player of the match each gameweek, and profiles and rankings will update automatically after each gameweek.

Kirk Flitton, Founder and CEO at Dribble, said: “In the past six months, we have raised early investment and gone from concept to product. We would not have been able to do so without The Unit, who have been a key part of the journey in making our idea come to life.
“We were delighted to introduce Dribble to football players recently, and we have been assisted through to launch by the expert software development The Unit provides.
