Spillemyndigheden, Denmark’s gaming authority, has published a report on the country’s gambling market. In April 2025, the digital vertical accounted for almost half of all industry revenue. This GGR amounted to DKK 331 million (about $51.2 million), which is a 21.4% YoY uplift.
Rise of Web Casinos in Denmark
The evolution of the iGaming niche resulted in an overall 11.6% yearly increase in national market earnings. The total gross gain for April was DKK 665 million (approximately $103 million). The trend remains stable despite a slight decline in the land-based segment’s income.
The largest surge in the local gambling industry’s profitability was noticed in December 2024. Back then, the GGR indicator reached DKK 347 million.
Revenue was distributed as follows:
- 78.9% — online slots;

Another significant change is the global shift towards mobile platforms and services. Almost 68% of activity originated from users accessing internet casinos via portable devices. In 2024, this figure was 59%. The frequency of desktop logins dropped to 32.1%, respectively. The most significant iGaming traffic for the month occurred on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
