Sports betting came to DKK2.4bn, showing a 5.2% increase since 2020. This is thanks to it being the first 12 month period since COVID-19 restrictions that there was a full calendar of sports.
Online casino experienced the steepest incline, totaling DKK2.8bn, as compared to DKK2.4bn in 2020. This was a rise of 16.7%.
Slot machines and land-based casino saw a decline, with a notable drop of 22.4% in revenue. Due to restrictions related to coronavirus, many slot halls were working at 50% capacity, with only every other slot machine in operation.
Land based casino saw a 6.9% decline with total revenue of DKK236m. From January to May, land based casino saw no revenue due to COVID-19 restrictions.
However, the sector improved greatly as the year went on. In October the sector brought in DKK38m which is the highest amount of revenue seen in a singular month for land based casino in the past decade.
