OVERVIEW In April 2009 the Danish government put forward a draft legislation to partially liberalise and modernise the Danish gaming market. This primarily affects the online sector and ultimately will offer online gaming to a free market to commercial gaming operators with a Danish licence. Online gaming will be taxed at 20 per cent. In a bid to stop non-licensed companies entering and operating within the Danish online gaming market the government is proposing to introduce a system of ISP and financial transaction blocking and a marketing ban for non-licensed operators.
Meanwhile Danske Spil will still have its monopoly within the lottery, horse and greyhound racing market. There are rumours now of possible changes for the AWP sector in the future which could see AWPs not only operated in different locations but an increase in stakes and prizes and the chance of one or two further land based casinos permitted. The draft law was finally published on February 12 and if all goes to plan via Parliament it will come into force on January 1 2011. The Danish gaming market saw around DKK11bn (around US$230m) spent on gambling last year with state profits of DKK2.8bn of which DKK1.6bn goes to charitable organisations. Total turnover in 2008 for the Danish gaming market (not including casinos or online casinos) amounted to DKK25bn and the gross gaming revenue is estimated to be around DKK7.7bn in 2008 which includes land and online casinos whilst each Danish person spent approximately DKK150 per month on gaming.
