December was the month which brought in the largest figure for the sector, with gaming machines accounting for 78.2% of revenue, representing the game type which brought in the bulk of online casino GGR. 

Betting GGR also experienced a rise, though this was only by 1.2% to DKK 2.21bn, with mobile accounting for the largest percentage of stakes on sales channels at 66.3%. 

Good to know: Denmark introduced new licensing requirements for game suppliers at the start of this year, with adherence to the new certification program mandatory from July 2025

With the smallest portion of overall GGR in Denmark for 2024, land-based casinos recorded DKK 368m in GGR. Compared to 2023, this was up 1.7%.
