Danish gambling authority Spillemyndigheden has released figures showing a 20 percent decline in the country’s online poker market.

Revenues dropped from $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2013 to $7.1 million for the quarter in 2014. 2013 figures already represented a drop from revenues of $9.8 million in 2012.
