A Danish court has backed an order from the country’s gambling regulator resulting in a record 82 illegal websites being blocked.
For the eighth time in history, the Danish Gambling Authority (DGA) went to court in an attempt to bar unlicensed operators from offering their services, such as betting and online casino, to Danes.
This has now proven successful. A court in Frederiksberg ruled in favour of the DGA and all 82 websites identified by the regulator have been blocked – a record number.
The websites subject to this order represent the largest group to be blocked at once since 2012, when Denmark’s gambling market was partially liberalised and the DGA began blocking websites.
