The report concerns the Danish Gambling Authority’s efforts regarding online gambling for money.
The purpose of the study is to assess whether the Danish Gambling Authority’s efforts regarding online gambling for money are satisfactory. Rigsrevisionen answers the following questions in the report:
- Has the Danish Gambling Authority carried out satisfactory supervision and responded appropriately to licensed providers of online gambling for money?
- Has the Danish Gambling Authority responded to owners of websites that illegally offer gambling for money?
Rigsrevisionen assesses that The Danish Gambling Authority, under the Ministry of Taxation, has not had a satisfactory approach to online gambling for money. Although the Danish Gambling Authority has supervised all licensed providers and systematically monitored the illegal market, it has not systematically followed up on whether providers comply with enforcement measures. Additionally, there is a long delay between identifying an illegal gambling website and requesting an internet service provider to block access to it. As a result, players are less protected from the harms associated with gambling than they could be.
Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in February 2024.
