Stake secures Danish market entry via five-year licence

Stake has announced that it has officially obtained a licence to introduce its online casino and sports betting products to the Danish market, following approval from the nation’s regulator, Spillemyndigheden (DGA).  

Indeed, the operator has secured a five-year licence for its products in the nation, as the operator continues to manoeuvre its latest expansion in the European market. As such, Stake has also confirmed the establishment of official headquarters in the nation, with a new office set to open at FC Copenhagen's ground – Parken Stadium – in the Danish capital.  

Speaking on this latest launch, Peter Eugen Clausen, Managing Director of Stake Denmark, said: “Denmark has one of the most well-regulated and competitive gaming markets in Europe, and that’s exactly what makes it so exciting. With Stake’s arrival, Danish players can expect a fresh, world-class experience backed by global scale and strong local focus.  

“We’re raising the bar in terms of product, transparency, and entertainment, and I believe increased competition from brands like Stake will only drive the market forward in a positive way.” 

Earlier this year, the DGA unveiled its latest market financial results, highlighting a 17% year-on-year rise in gambling spend during November 2025 – largely driven by online casino and betting. More recently, the regulator also signed an official Memorandum of Understanding with the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission to improve communication between the pair, as part of a wider initiative to combat gambling-related crimes across Europe.  

For the operator, this latest announcement falls in the wake of a recent partnership with X Games, unveiled last month, which introduced sports wagering to the X Games League.  

Also commenting on this latest update was Brais Pena, Chief Strategy Officer of Stake’s parent company, Easygo, who said: “Denmark marks our entry into the Nordics and represents a clear win in one of Europe’s most mature and high-value markets. With each new market, our momentum continues to build as we deliver on our global expansion strategy.”
