The Danish gambling market contracted significantly in June 2025, with total gambling spend falling 17.0 percent compared to the same month in 2024, according to the latest monthly statistics from the Danish Gambling Authority.
Online casinos bucked the overall trend, recording a 10.0 percent increase in spend compared to June 2024. However, betting activity plummeted 53.5 percent year-over-year, representing the largest decline across all gambling categories.
The authority attributed the sharp betting decline to the absence of major sporting events in June 2025; the European Football Championship was held in June 2024, which provided a significant boost to wagering activity during that period.
Land-based gambling venues experienced modest declines, with traditional casinos down 2.2 percent and slot machines falling 6.5 percent compared to June 2024.
