How to obtain a licence

You can apply to the Danish Gambling Authority for a licence by using application form no. 6-01.

To obtain a licence you must meet a set of requirements, i.e. it is required that you are minimum 21 years old and are not indebted to the public sector. 

When you apply for a licence for a gambling arcade, the Danish Gambling Authority consults the police. You may also be contacted by the Danish Gambling Authority if we want to approve the premises. Accordingly, you may expect about five weeks for the application process.

The first time you apply for a licence, a budget of the expected gross gaming revenue for the first calendar year of the licence period must be attached to the application. 

It is a requirement that the Danish Gambling Authority has approved the manager of a gambling arcade. For approval as a manager you must use form no. 8-01.
