Online casinos for Poles in Denmark

Together with Milan Rabszski, we will look at a few points that are of most interest to us in relation to gambling in Denmark, and these are:

1. The development of gambling in Denmark over the centuries.
2. How the government looks at gambling – what is legal.
3. The most popular games and online casinos in Denmark.
4. Sports betting in Denmark – what we can bet on.

Development and history of gambling in Denmark

Gambling in Denmark has a long history. Since the Middle Ages, various types of betting have been so popular that finally in 1752 the then King completely banned any gambling activities. However, there were some exceptions, because even the King could not resist the very popular lottery, which at that time was one of the most important forms of entertainment.

For the next few centuries, not much changed – in the Danish state, only lotteries were legal, which, of course, paid taxes to the Treasury. It was not until 1948 that sports betting was legalized. In the same year, Danske Spil a/S was established, which is an organization that is responsible for sports betting and has direct stakes in them.

It was only in 1988 that Lotto appeared in Denmark, which was also managed by the previously mentioned Group. From that moment on, everything developed quite quickly, because two years later the government allowed as many as 10 land-based casinos to operate, 6 of which are still operating today in Copenhagen, Aalborg, Aarhus, Vejle and odense. From that point on, Danske Spil A / S also had to make sure that residents had access to slots, scratch cards, sports betting, bingo as well as online games.

The Danes pretty quickly got tired of the options allowed in the country, especially seeing what the residents of neighboring states can. to avoid the risks associated with illegal gambling, the government established the Danish Gaming act, which also allowed foreign owners to obtain a Danish license.

• 1752-the King of Denmark bans gambling and licenses a single lottery.
• 1902-Prince Frederick grants the first license to the casino in Marienlyst.
• 1930-the first legal license is established in Denmark.
• 1948-players can finally use sports betting.
• 1948-establishment of Danske Spil a / S.
• 1988-Lotto is introduced in Denmark.
• 1990-the government allows 10 land-based casinos to operate.
• 2001-slots is covered by a license, and part of the tax is spent on fighting addiction.
• 2012-the Danish Gaming Act allows foreign casino owners to operate in Denmark.

As a curiosity, we would like to convey that the first Danish casino is still on the list and is one of the most popular options until today – it is Casino Marienlyst. Founded in 1902 with the special permission of Prince Frederick, it has always attracted many players, especially those from abroad. Despite the fact that the building itself has been renovated several times, you can still feel the spirit of the Times, admire the sights and enjoy the game available on several tables.

Gambling regulation in Denmark

The market regulator in Denmark is the Danish Gambling Authority, which actually has quite a lot of freedom in controlling gambling. Its task is to check the correctness of the operation of online casinos in Denmark and in case of inaccuracy, suspend their licenses. Currently, Denmark still benefits from the Gambling Act of 2012, which, however, has been frequently improved in recent years.

At the moment, the adopted law explains that the license allows the activity not only of fixed sites, but also online. The other parties remain illegal. The law clearly states that “ "..anyone who makes money from gambling and has not yet obtained a license can be punished." It is interesting that ordinary players who play only for entertainment and not professionally, do not suffer any consequences. This is why many casinos around the world accept Danish players.

Every casino owner in Denmark, not necessarily whether it is a desktop or online version, must have a Danish license. However, the state does not have a gambling monopoly, which means that foreign owners can also apply for a license. Every player must be at least 18 years of age to use any form of gambling in Denmark.

Gambling regulations in Denmark are very simple – casino owners only have to pay a gaming tax, but no taxes are levied on winnings. However, it is worth to be careful, because the government can require a player to pay tax on winnings if he plays in an illegal casino, that is, without a Danish license. In addition, the state does not violate the right to gambling advertising, and besides, an online site does not have to have a typical Danish domain, that is .dk.

Danish license for foreign casinos

There are actually many online casinos that have a Danish license. Among them are Mr Green and Playojo, which are generally recommended. An online casino owner who is willing to enter the Danish market must be at least 21 years old and have no debts or convictions for financial crimes.

The Danish government must receive an application for a licence that is entirely in Danish. However, the process of completing such an application is also available in English. The license is issued for 5 years and costs about $150,000.

Gambling in Denmark in numbers

• 6 active land-based casinos
• 40 different licensed casino owners
• 315 million Danish crowns the biggest gambling win
• 41.7% of gambling spending is spent at online casinos
• 30,000 Danes are registered with ROFUS

Casino bonus codes for Poles in Denmark

The Danes have slightly different priorities than the players from South Africa, so you can quite quickly notice a lot of differences in preferences for games. There are similarities in lotteries. In the case of Denmark, All rankings are won by lotteries, which account for about 35% of all gambling spending. In South Africa, more than 40% of people buy lottery tickets.

When it comes to slots, it comes out quite similar, because in both cases the percentage of the total amount spent is less than 10%. Danes, like Poles, like different types of bonus rounds, free spins and extras. Both nations do not like simple classics.

Poker, especially Texas Holdem, unites both nations. More than 60% of people admit to playing, although it is interesting that in South Africa smaller stakes prevail, where in Denmark poker is a typical game for highrollers. Danes have a similar attitude to roulette, which is chosen by about 32% of gamblers, but at very high rates (they account for more than 55% of all bets).

In online casinos, Danish players leave about 29% of all funds. In South Africa, this is a much smaller percentage (about 9%) because at the moment we have only one legal online casino. However, in land-based casinos, the Danes spend only 2% of the funds, where in the case of South Africa it is almost 25%.

There are several game manufacturers that are loved by Danes – which can also be found in casinos for Poles in Denmark. Ranking the best of them below.

1. Play ' n Go;
2. Netent;
3. Pragmatic Play;
4. Red Tiger;
5. Relax Gaming;
6. Reel Kingdom;
7. Playtech;
8. BTG;
9. Bwin.Party;
10. Evolution Gaming.

Slot machines in Danish casinos

Danish players have access to the best online gambling games on the market, and especially like those with many bonuses and free spins. Classic slots are only chosen by 5% of players. Danes play online slots, but also land-based ones. There are a few slots that are particularly loved, and among them are Book of Dead, Tome of Madness and Legacy of Dead, so we can see what themes the Danes are aiming for.

Card and table games: the best offers online and live

Roulette is loved by the people of Denmark, and especially in electronic form, which is available in land-based casinos. They will also not disdain the standard online versions, on which about 16% of all gambling funds are spent. Poker is the second most popular table game-it collects 11% of spending. Players mostly play Omaha and Poker Holdem and often participate in live poker tournaments. Of the live casino games, roulette is the most commonly chosen.

Lotto, scratch cards and bingo for Poles

In Denmark, Lotto and scratch cards take up 35% of the total gambling budget. They can be found in many places and now also online. Danes love the Lotto version, where you have to choose 7 numbers out of 36. It's the same with bingo - bingo is estimated to generate as much as $ 176 million.

Sports betting in Denmark

Sports betting in Denmark is legal and currently you can find 11 licensed bookmakers. Bookmakers are very popular in Denmark – last year as much as 25% of all gambling funds were allocated to betting. To register on the site, you need personal information as well as login and password. List of legal bookmakers in Denmark below.

• 20 bet;
• Stake;
• N1 bet;
• IGUBET;
• Zodiac Bet;
• BiBet;
• NucleonBet;

Danes usually bet in Danish kroner, less often in euros. As a sport for betting, football is most often chosen, although golf and ice hockey are also behind it.

The registration process and bonuses for Poles in the best casino in Denmark

Poles can also register at some casinos operating in Denmark. to do this, you need to provide some information, among others:

• login and password,
• name and surname,
• address of residence and nationality,
• date of birth,
• currency.

After that comes the verification, which requires sending a scan of the passport or ID and a bill for water or electricity. The vast majority of online casinos also allow Poles to register, and some even offer SAN.

no deposit bonus offers per registration or per deposit

Everyone loves promotions and Danes too. That is why the most popular casinos are those that offer a no Deposit bonus. The choice of such a promotion is understandable, because thanks to it you can get to know the site and see if it really meets all the requirements. In addition, in Denmark, as well as in the online casino in South Africa, free spins are very popular, although, interestingly, Danish players can most often be found in VIP programs and tournaments, because they are loyal to one side, and also like the competition.

How to make payments in a Danish online casino?

If you want to play in Denmark for money, then you need to know what payment methods the inhabitants use. Unfortunately, among the options there will be no Blik payment, as it is only available in South African casinos. In Denmark, however, there are many other methods to choose from, and we show them in the table below.

With the payment of the deposit in online casinos in Denmark looks like in any other casino-by the cashier. The minimum deposit is usually 10 euros. Often casinos also accept South African currency, although not all. Unfortunately, a bank account in Denmark can only be opened if the person has a CPR number, i.e. the local PESEL issued with the report.

As a curiosity, we can say that the biggest gambling win in Denmark was 56 million crowns in 2013 in the popular lottery.

Fighting addiction in Denmark

Denmark has been struggling with addiction among players for a long time. It started with 1% of the amount from the license already in 2001, which is intended for the fight against addiction. Since 1992, many institutions have been established in Denmark that deal with addiction treatment, and the most popular of them is The Center for Ludomani.

Unfortunately, at the moment, more than 29,000 people in Denmark have a serious gambling problem, and almost half a million people may be slightly affected by this problem. Compared to South Africa, the statistics are very similar. In Denmark, men make up 64% of addicts and in this case, the majority are people under 35 years of age. In South Africa, this percentage is 71% for this year, although the age limit is moving to about 55 years. Women make up the remaining percentages in both countries, and although there are fewer of them, unfortunately statistics show that they are much less likely to apply to professionals.

The government in Denmark is doing everything it can to help the players. One idea is the ROFUS program run by the Danish Gambling Authority, which can block a player from registering at any casino. Players can always also apply to several institutions for help, among them are:

• StopSpillet

  stopspillet.dk

  Tel: 70 22 28 25

  Englandsgade 25, 6. sal, 5000 Odense C, Denmark

• Ludomani

  ludomani.dk/er-du-spiller

  Tel: 70 11 18 10

  Østergade 42, 5000 Odense C, Denmark

Orders from Milan:

"Although there are relatively few land-based casinos in Denmark, I think they are very cozy and I like to stay in them. I am pleased that many foreign casinos have access to the Danish market – I always observe the development of healthy gambling, where the player can play according to their preferences.”

Curiosities:

1. Gambling ads are played on television and it is thanks to them that casinos win new players.
2. Many actors and athletes are involved in promoting gambling – this is not considered something $ ego.
3. Since 2012, the Danish Gambling Market has been one of the fastest growing in Europe.
4. In Denmark, there is only one online casino that belongs to the state – it is Danske Spil.
5. Gambling regulations in Denmark are among the most liberal in Europe.

Summary: the benefits of gambling in Denmark

Predictions for the next few years of gambling development in Denmark are very positive. experts say that every year the popularity of casinos, especially online, will increase by at least 7%. Denmark is preparing to license more foreign online casinos, and the government is in the process of preparing better protection against addiction.
