Fairgame ApS has been fined DKK 3,000 ($473) by the Court in Esbjerg for breaching Denmark’s Gambling Act after offering games on prize-winning slot machines without approval from the Danish Gambling Authority.
The case concerned the gaming venue 17eren, located at Vestergade 17A in Varde, where Fairgame was the licence holder.
According to the ruling, the supplier offered games on prize-winning slot machines at the venue between 26 July and 4 August 2025 without holding the required permit from the regulator.
The court found Fairgame guilty of violating Section 59(1), cf. Section 61, cf. Section 3(1), of the Gambling Act on 22 April 2026.
Fairgame ApS did not attend the main hearing. As the case did not concern a higher penalty than a fine and because the circumstances did not prevent it, the court treated the matter as if Fairgame had admitted to the offence.
Denmark’s land-based gaming machine rules sit within a licensing system overseen by the Danish Gambling Authority, which administers gambling legislation across betting, online casino, gaming machines, land-based casinos and related gambling activity.
The regulator has continued to publish enforcement decisions involving gaming machine operators and venues, with recent cases covering unlicensed offers, broken seals, inspection failures and non-compliance with orders.
These decisions show ongoing scrutiny of smaller land-based gambling premises as well as larger licensed operators.
The Danish framework allows limited land-based gaming machine licences to be issued on an individual basis. Operators are also subject to machine-level requirements, including fees, inspections and technical controls.
Fairgame has appeared in previous Danish Gambling Authority enforcement records. In November 2025, it accepted a DKK 3,982 fine for offering gaming machine gambling without a licence at another venue in January 2025.
In April 2025, it also accepted a DKK 5,000 fine linked to sealing rules for gaming machines.
The decision comes during a period of wider activity in Denmark’s regulated gambling market. Earlier this week, Soft2Bet launched QuickCasino.dk in the country, expanding its local online casino and sports betting presence through a rally-themed platform.
Prize-winning gaming machines in Denmark are regulated separately from online casino products and require venue-specific compliance with Danish Gambling Authority rules
