More figures for the Danish gambling market every month

The Danish Gambling Authority has previously published statistics on the Danish gambling market every quarter and in addition published selected key figures for the gambling market on a monthly basis.

We are now launching monthly statistics, which means that the figures will be available even faster on spillemyndigheden.dk than previously.

In the monthly statistics, you will find figures describing the Danish gambling market, the Danish Gambling Authority’s self-exclusion register (ROFUS) and our helpline for compulsive gambling StopSpillet.

Another novelty is that you can see how much Danes play via mobile phone and computer or how much is played online and in kiosks and arcades.
