Danish Lotteries

The Danish lottery was established in 1989. Games offered include traditional lottery products and scratch tickets as well as bingo, raffles and online products. The market is composed of four operators: Danske Spil (state-owned and dominant), Det Danske Klasselotteri and two charitable lotteries; all run under monopoly-type lottery licenses from the Gambling Authority.

New rules adopted in November 2024 modernize permits for charity lotteries and land-based bingo from 1 January 2025, using a digital permit portal and more flexible conditions while keeping consumer-protection standards.
