Danish Gaming Authority Blocks Access to 16 Illegal Sites

The Danish Gaming Authority Spillemyndigheden has blocked access to 16 illegal gambling websites.
Spillemyndigheden secured the court order to block these illegal websites in March. A District Court ruled in favour of the regulator after it requested action be taken to block 17 unlicensed gambling sites. One of these 17 sites pulled out of the market before the court’s decision was announced.
“We work to protect players against illegal gambling, and we also need to ensure that the operators who are licenced to offer gambling in Denmark can run their businesses under orderly conditions. That is why it is very important for us to clamp down on gambling offered without a licence,” Morten Niels Jakobsen, Director of Spillemyndigheden, said.
Among the 16 sites, two hosted real-money sports betting, seven offered online casino and a further seven offered esports skin betting.
“Spillemyndigheden is particularly concerned with skin betting, as this type of game especially attracts young people under 18, who, via video games, may be exposed to elements from gambling,” the regulator said.
The Gaming Authority expanded the scope of its search for potentially illegal content to include skin betting in 2018, over concerns that this may disproportionately affect minors.
Spillemyndigheden noted that each operator was warned to cease Danish operations before the requests were filed in court, though only one of the 17 sites targeted did so.
