Denmark unveil New Code of Conduct to protect consumers

Denmark is planning to implement a code of conduct for the gambling industry, which will improve consumer protection and contribute to preventing gambling as entertainment developing into compulsive gambling.

The new plan will be implemented after a comprehensive discussion with all stakeholders. The new code is expected to come into force on 1 July 2019.

On this basis, parties from the gambling industry have sat down and together drawn up the code of conduct for the gambling industry, which enters into force on 1 July 2019.

There are three sections of license holders who come into the purview of the code:

1. License holders in the area of online casino and betting who come under Danish Online Gambling Association.
2. License holders in the area of gaming machines who come under Dansk Automat Brancheforening (Danish gaming machine industry association).
3. License holders to land-based casino who come under Dansk Kasinoforening (Danish Casino Association).

The code (in Danish language) can be read on this page: https://doga.squarespace.com/blog/2019/3/15/spilbranchen-lander-aftale-om-adfrdskodeks
