Spillemyndigheden, the Danish Gambling Authority, has published its figures for September 2025.
Overall GGR fell 1% compared to last September to DKK 548m ($84.92m).
When split between different areas, betting saw the most drastic change, falling 35% to DKK 93m. This is significant, as this sector accounts for 21.52% of gambling GGR in the country. Gaming machines also fell 3% to DKK 89m.
Land-based casinos saw 7% growth to DKK 31m, while online casinos, which account for 56.33% of GGR, grew 15% to DKK 332m.
Problem gambling was concentrated primarily through online casino, though some reported a problematic relationship with investments.
Betting
Mobile accounted for 69.21% of all betting action, with 15.62% on computer and 14.77% from land-based locations.
Although this portable way of betting was the most popular in terms of bets placed, when looking at the distribution of stakes, mobile accounted for 70.62%, land-based 7.4% and computers 21.98% - indicating that some of the high rollers may still prefer placing bets on a PC than any other medium.
Sunday proved to be the most popular day, with 21.41% of betting stakes being placed on this day. This is unsurprising, as Danish Superliga games are typically played on Sundays, with additional games also played on Mondays and Fridays.
The payout ratio during this period was 94.52%, which was an increase from the 91.33% last September
Online casino
The vast majority of online casino GGR came from slot machines, totalling 80.05%. An additional 6.99% came from roulette, 6.54% from blackjack, 2.68% from poker, 2.28% from bingo and 1.45% from other verticals.
Mobiles proved popular again, handling 69.76% of stakes, while computers accounted for the remaining 30.24% of stakes.
Monday proved to be the most popular day, with 16.89% of all stakes placed on this day. Interestingly, Saturday was the least popular day, with only 12.31% of stakes.
Gaming machines
Gaming arcades brought in 80.33% of GGR related to gaming machines, while 19.67% were in restaurants. The average daily GGR from these two types of locations was DKK 460,991.
Again, Monday was the most popular for gaming machine stakes, with 17.52% of all GGR coming from this day.

There are currently seven casinos with licences to operate land-based operations in Denmark, with the average daily GGR from this vertical reaching DKK 152,782 in September.
