The Danish Gambling Authority has released its 2024 report, detailing its measures to combat illegal gambling in Denmark.
Each year, the Danish Gambling Authority outlines its enforcement actions and clarifies the legal framework for gambling in Denmark.
In 2024, the agency expanded its regulatory scope by collaborating with Twitch, allowing it to report illegal gambling content on the platform.
This move continues the existing cooperation with Apple, Facebook, and Google, enabling the authority to remove unauthorized gambling content from these platforms.
Another focus area in the report is the rise of "Robux betting," which involves using the in-game currency of the video game Roblox as a deposit or prize for online gambling activities.
It is noteworthy that currently, no operators in Denmark hold a license to offer skin betting or Robux betting, thus all such activities are illegal.
The regulatory body has found that many third-party websites facilitate this form of betting, often targeting young players.
Since Robux can be converted into real-world money through Roblox's Developer Exchange Program (DevEx), its use in gambling complies with existing Danish gambling and casino laws.
In August 2024, the Frederiksberg Court ruled that gambling websites offering Robux-based games in Danish are considered targeting the Danish market and must comply with Danish gambling regulations.
The Danish Gambling Authority encourages the public to report suspicious gambling activities to support its enforcement efforts.
