History of Gambling Business in Denmark

At the moment in Denmark, seven licenses for the operation of land-based casinos are granted. Also, two more licenses are currently under preparation. Now in the five-millionth Denmark seven land-based casinos operate.

However, the very principle of work and development of the gambling business is not affected. All new companies were immediately monopolized by the state. In addition, the law has confirmed that Danske Spil is required to deduct a portion of its revenues for the development of culture, sports and other social programs.

And today the regulation of gambling business and all control are concentrated in the hands of the Ministry of Justice. It was they who were given certain restrictions. For example, working time of a casino can be prolonged no more than 14 hours / day (usually from two nights to four days). Also, the size of the minimum admission was fixed, membership cards were introduced. The tipping system was legalized and identification of customers became mandatory. In addition, entry to persons under 18 years is prohibited. Compliance with these rules is monitored daily by the police.

The modernization of gambling business in Denmark began in the late 1990s. In 2001, all the recommendations that had been developed by the Ministry of Finance were combined into a report titled “The Future of Danish Venture”. The main idea of this document is to tighten requirements for gambling business. The Internet also did not bypass the new legislation. All banks were advised to refuse operations on different credit cards with online casinos. Show less
