The changes are due to be introduced in 2025.
Denmark.- The Danish gambling regulator Spillemyndigheden has opened a consultation on proposed changes to requirements for reporting game data. The changes are due to be introduced from next year.
The proposals include new data requirements for sports betting licensees, which must report all sports bets as separate transactions, detailing individual selections in combination bets in order to provide clarity on the handling of selections. Meanwhile, online poker operators must specify the types of poker games, e.g. tournaments and cash games. Operators will also need to provide test data for jackpots.
Other amendments include changes in the wording used in reports. Stakeholders can submit feedback up until June 10. Details of the new requirements are available on Spillemyndigheden’s website.
