Starting January 1, Danish gaming regulator Spillemyndigheden will introduce mandatory deposit limits for online gambling. It will also automate self-exclusion features and institute other fundamentals changes, including amendments to the inspection standards for lotteries to “make sure that the requirements are identical with the requirements for online casino.”
According to SBC News, operators must keep player gambling data on file for at least five years, and develop internal rules, process and staff training on responsible gambling.
The regulator has also stressed that its logo must be clearly displayed on every licensee’s site, to make clear that it has gained the necessary certification from the regulator.
The regulator detailed: “These requirements are those related to the use of the Danish Gambling Authority’s labeling scheme, the customer’s opportunity to get a statement of account, the setting of a deposit limit before being allowed to play and information to the customer about responsible gambling, including references to ROFUS and StopSpillet (StopGambling).
“No new requirements have been added, but several requirements have been moved to other sections of the certification program to place them in the correct context. This means, among other things, that the section about information to the customer on player protection now appears clearer.
“Overall the update partly covers general changes across gambling sectors and certification areas, and partly specific amendments to requirements in the inspection standards for online casino, online betting and lotteries. The specific changes are about responsible gambling. Due to the general amendments, new versions of every document in the certification program are available.”
