Danish gambling spend jumps 17% as online dominates growth

Denmark's regulated gambling market demonstrated robust growth in November 2025, with total spending increasing 17.1% compared to November 2024, according to the Danish Gambling Authority's latest monthly statistics.

Online Channels Drive Market Expansion

The growth was primarily fueled by digital platforms, with online casino leading the surge at 27.0% year-over-year growth. Betting also showed strong performance, recording a 14% increase compared to November 2024.

This digital momentum contrasted sharply with land-based operations, which experienced declines across both segments. Gaming machines dropped 1.4% while land-based casinos fell 3.4% compared to the same period last year.
