Denmark Gaming Revenue Rises

The Gambling Authority has revealed that gross gaming Denmark gaming revenue increased from DKK2.045 billion (€273 million/$375 million) in 2012 to DKK2.375 billion in 2013 despite a sharp fall in online poker revenue.

Full-year online poker revenue dropped from DKK220 million in 2012 to DKK195 million in 2013, but increases in all other metrics secured an overall increase in gross gaming revenue.

SKAT said that betting revenue increased from DKK1.175 billion to DKK1.385 billion, while gambling on games shifted up from DKK870 million to DKK990 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, through to December 31, betting increased from DKK355 million to DKK380 million year-on-year and gambling on games rose from DKK235 million to DKK260 million, mitigating a drop from DKK55 million to DKK45 million for online poker.
