It is the highest number of blockings in the history of the Danish Gambling Authority. It is the eighth time that the Danish Gambling Authority has gone to court to have illegal websites blocked that offer gambling activities such as betting and online casino to Danes without a licence. 

On September 22, the court in Frederiksberg ruled in favour of the Danish Gambling Authority in all 82 cases that had been reported. It is the highest number of blockings at one time since 2012, when the Danish gambling market was partially liberalised and the Danish Gambling Authority began blocking websites that illegally offer gambling to Danes.

By comparison, the Danish Gambling Authority’s action against 55 websites in 2021 was upheld.
