Danish Gambling GGR Reaches $102.6 Million in September

Denmark’s liberalised gambling market generated approximately DKK685 million, or $102.6 million, in gross gaming revenue during September 2026.

Spillemyndigheden reported a 22.1% year-on-year increase after adjustment for GDP growth. The percentage therefore differs from a comparison of unadjusted cash receipts. The statistics cover the liberalised gambling sectors, excluding monopoly lotteries. 

Online Casino Retains Largest Share

Online casino generated DKK400 million, approximately $60 million, accounting for about 58% of the monthly total. Its GGR increased 17.9% on the regulator’s adjusted annual measure.

Betting recorded the strongest percentage growth, rising 64.6% to DKK157.2 million, approximately $23.6 million. It remained substantially smaller than online casino despite the sharper increase.  

Gaming Machines Record Only Decline

Land-based casino GGR increased 8.1% to DKK34.4 million, approximately $5.16 million. Land-based bingo rose 3.2% to DKK2.3 million, around $345,000.

Gaming machines were the only segment to contract, with GGR down 1% to DKK90.6 million, approximately $13.59 million. A revenue decline does not establish that the segment operated at a loss: GGR measures stakes retained after winnings, before tax and operating costs. 

September Reverses August’s Annual Comparison

The September figures followed an adjusted annual market decline of 7.1% in August, when betting GGR fell 42.7%.

The reversal concerns each month’s performance against its corresponding period in 2025. It should not be interpreted as September growth relative to August. The published release did not identify a specific cause for the change in betting results.
