Denmark.- The Danish gambling regulator Spillemyndigheden has reported that gaming revenue reached DKK494m (€66.3m) in August, a drop of 18.2 per cent month-on-month and 1.2 per cent year-on-year.

Revenue for July had been up 13.9 per cent against the previous month.

Sports betting revenue (DKK128m) was down both year-on-year and month-on-month – dropping 45.5 per cent from July (DKK235m) and 26 per cent from August 2020 (DKK173m).

Online casino revenue was up 87.2 per cent year-on-year at DKK221m, but was down 3.4 per cent against July 2021.

There was, however, a rise in land-based revenue, with revenue from slot machines up 2.7 per cent month-on-month and 1.8 per cent year-on-year, at DKK112m.

Operators are only allowed to promote slots winnings of up to DKK600 (€80.7), but the regulator says some slots have been advertising higher winnings.
