Online Gambling in Denmark: Licences, ROFUS, Tax and Bonus Rules
Online casino and betting in Denmark are legal only through operators licensed by Spillemyndigheden, the Danish Gambling Authority. This guide explains the licence system, the ROFUS self-exclusion register, when winnings are tax-free, the bonus rules and how to check a site in the public register.
Where to start
- Best betting sites - our ranking, ordered by sportsbook rating, with the sports welcome bonus of each site.
- Betting site reviews - every bookmaker we have reviewed.
- Betting tips - our picks, with the reasoning behind each one.
- Guides - how odds work, bet types and how to read bonus terms.
What we look at in a sports welcome bonus
- Size and structure: the match percentage and maximum, and whether it is paid on one deposit or several.
- Wagering: how many times the bonus must be played through, and whether the deposit counts too.
- Minimum odds: the lowest odds that count for single bets and for each leg of an accumulator.
- Maximum stake and time limit: the largest bet that counts and how many days you have.
Check the bookmaker is legal where you live
Sports betting is licensed country by country, and many bookmakers do not accept players from certain countries. Where your country has its own licensing system - Denmark and Sweden, for example - use a site licensed there. Each review states the licence and the countries the bookmaker excludes.
Frequently asked questions
4 questions
Which betting site is the best?
It depends on what you bet on. Our ranking orders bookmakers by our sportsbook rating, which weighs the licence, the welcome bonus terms, markets, live betting and payments. Start with the best betting sites page.
How do sports welcome bonuses work?
Most match your first deposit up to a cap, and the bonus must then be wagered a set number of times on bets at or above a minimum odds level before you can withdraw. Read the minimum odds, wagering and time limit before you claim.
What do decimal odds mean?
Decimal odds show the total return per unit staked, stake included. Odds of 2.50 on a 10 bet return 25 if it wins - 15 profit plus the 10 stake. The implied probability is 1 divided by the odds, so 2.50 means 40%.
Are betting tips a guarantee?
No. Tips are reasoned opinions on uncertain events. Bet only what you can afford to lose, whatever the tip.
Betting is for adults only. Set limits, and take a break if it stops being fun.
