Best bookmakers in Denmark
Denmark opened its market in 2012, earlier than its neighbours, and runs it quietly and well: licences from Spillemyndigheden, verification through MitID, the national digital identity, a self-exclusion register called ROFUS and a tax on operators rather than players. Danske Spil, the former monopoly, competes with the European groups on equal terms. Here are the three that scored best in our tests with a Danish account.
How betting works in Denmark
The Danish Gambling Authority licenses operators for betting and casino separately, requires registration with MitID so that identity and age are certain from the first minute, and runs ROFUS, checked at every login. Unlicensed sites are blocked by court order on the authority’s application, and Danish banks refuse their payments. The model has been copied across the Nordics.
Danske Spil, bet365, Unibet, Betsson, LeoVegas, Mr Green and a dozen others hold licences; prices on the Superliga and European football sit around five percent margin. Bonuses are permitted with restrictions on wagering terms; winnings are tax-free for the player, and operators pay a tax on gross revenue.
Payments are MobilePay, the Danish mobile payment, cards, bank transfers and Trustly; MobilePay withdrawals arrived within hours in our tests.
