New requirements have been introduced for individuals and companies based in Denmark that only offer gambling in other EU and EEA countries.
Gambling operators covered by section 1(1)(19) of the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act, who are established in Denmark and provide gambling in other EU and EEA countries, will now be subject to registration in the Danish Gambling Authority’s Money Laundering Register as of 1 July 2025. This is stated in Executive Order no. 239 of 27 January 2025.
The Danish Gambling Authority points out that gambling operators licensed to provide gambling in Denmark under the Danish Gambling Act are not covered by the executive order and will therefore not be subject to the new requirement.
How should the notification be made?
The notification must be made through the Danish Gambling Authority’s notification form. The form can be found at the DGA’s website under Prevention of money laundering. The form must be sent electronically to the Danish Gambling Authority together with relevant documentation.
The notification must be made no later than 14 days after the gambling operator has obtained a licence or started gambling offers in another EU or EEA country than Denmark.
What should gambling operators be aware of?
The gambling operator must be aware that the information registered is correct. It is the responsibility of the gambling operator to ensure that these are correct.
Any changes must be notified to the Danish Gambling Authority no later than 14 days after they have entered into force. This is done by using the change form, which can be found at the DGA’s website under Prevention of money-laundering. The change form must be sent electronically to the Danish Gambling Authority.
A registration will cease if the gambling operator no longer provides gambling according to section 1(1) of the executive order and if the gambling operator has notified the Danish Gambling Authority according to section 1(4).
