Danish gambling spends rose sharply in July 2025
New figures from Spillemyndigheden, the Danish Gambling Authority, show a significant rebound in gambling activity for July 2025. Danish players spent a total of 634 million Danish Kroner (DKK), which is $99.16 million. This represents a strong 12.9% increase compared to July of the previous year.
The online casino sector saw the biggest boost. Spending surged by 20.3% to reach DKK 349 million. Within this category, slot games dominated, accounting for 83.49% of spend (DKK 291.7 million).
Other popular online casino games included:
- Blackjack: 6.37% (DKK 22.2m)
- Roulette: 4.8% (DKK 16.8m)
- Bingo: 2.23% (DKK 7.79m)
- Poker: 2.16% (DKK 7.5m)
Mobile play was key. Over 70% of all online casino deposits were made via mobile devices. Thursday was the most popular day for deposits, while weekends were less active.
Land-based casinos enjoyed robust growth, with spending up 13.8% to DKK 33 million.
The betting market also grew. Bookmaker turnover increased by 6% to DKK 159 million. The vast majority of bets (71.86%) were placed online using mobile phones. Only 10.54% of betting spend happened in physical shops.
Slot machines were the only sector to see a decline, dropping 2.2% to DKK 90 million. The daily average spend on these land-based slots was DKK 3 million. Most of this (80.1%) was in arcades, with the rest in restaurants. Thursday at 4 PM was the peak time for play.
The national self-exclusion register, ROFUS, now has 62,577 people registered. Of these, 40,649 have chosen permanent exclusion.
This July report marks a sharp turnaround from June’s figures, which had shown a 17% year-on-year decrease in spending. The data indicates a strong recovery in the Danish gambling market for this period.
