eGaming Review market focus: Denmark 20/10/2009
EGAMING REVIEW in August revealed that Ladbrokes would be applying for an online gaming licence in Denmark once regulation proposed by the Danish government goes ahead.
The licences will allow operators to offer online sports, poker and casino products to Danish punters and will cost between £340,000 and £450,000 a year.
The likes of Labdrokes Nordics and Betsson are expected to apply for licences, although a potential tax rate of 15%-20% on gross win might deter others.
But with such high annual licensing costs added to the potential tax rate, many operators will instead try to enter the market through a white label partnership with media companies or sports bodies like the Danish football association.
x Danske Spil online gaming sales for 2008: DK1,5bn (€215m).
x Danske Spil online gross win for 2008: DK888,5m (€120m)
x Potential worth of the Danish egaming market if regulated: €210m-€300m

x Online gaming sales for private operators in 2009: €130m-€150m

Anti monopolist
In terms of the main private operators, I don't know how H2 has come to their conclusions but I think 2 or 3 of those listed could easily be replaced by others that make more moeny from this market
