Gambling spend increased in August in Denmark

The total increase can be attributed to an increase in the spending on online casino. Meanwhile, the spending on betting, gaming machines and land-based casino in August 2024 decreased compared with August 2023.

The subdivision of game types is amended

In the monthly statistics for August 2024, poker now appears as a separate category under online casino. This amendment has been made in all monthly statistics since 2012 and causes minor changes to the gross gaming revenue (GGR) for the additional game types under online casino.

Previously, poker was part of the categories ”Commission games” and ”Other”. The change means that the category “Commission games” is removed and the commission games that are not poker will appear under the category “Other”.

Thereby, online casino will be subdivided into the following game types

Gaming machines
Roulette
Blackjack
Poker
Bingo
Other

The update has not caused any retrospective amendments of the total GGR for the entire online casino market.
