Guessing competitions

The licence holders of a restricted-revenue licence for online casino can provide guessing competitions, including SMS guessing competitions.

A guessing competition is a combination game, which is covered by the Danish Gambling Act if the following conditions are met: 

  • The game has an element of both skill and chance, for instance by answering a question and then finding the winner via a draw
  • The composition of skill and chance in a combination game, including a guessing competition, must be a natural part of the game
  • A participant in a guessing competition must have the opportunity to win prizes such as money or assets of monetary value
  • The participant must pay a deposit of money or similar

If these conditions are met, you must have a licence to provide online casino to provide this game. You can only apply for a licence to online provision of guessing competitions, including internet, telephone, radio, and TV. Thus, it is not possible to obtain a licence to land-based provision of guessing competitions.
