Denmark betting revenues down 4% in Q3
Online casino revenues also fall in the period as stakeholders flag concerns about a growing black market
Denmark has reported a 4% year-on-year drop in Q3 2019 betting revenues to £72m, according to new figures from the Danish regulator.
The Q3 figure also marked a £0.7m decline from Q2, as mobile accounted for 49% of revenues, with online at 18% and land-based at 33%.
Online bets made up nearly 32% of turnover, suggesting the hold on those wagers was much lower than the other two channels.
Elsewhere, online casino revenues climbed 4% year-on-year to £65m, although that figure marked a 12% decline from Q2.
Slots accounted for 72% of total stakes, with roulette at 11% and blackjack at 8%.

Ahmet Celebi, the founder of Malta-based affiliate Caspo, told EGR earlier this year that Denmark was seeing a growing black market, particularly in casino, similar to Sweden.
The total number of individuals registered with the Danish self-exclusion scheme ROFUS hit just under 20,000 through September, with around two thirds of those players self-excluding permanently.
