Guidance on reporting of games

01, Jul 2015

The Danish Gambling Authority has released a new guidance on reporting of games. This guidance has been made as part of a review of our guidelines regarding technical requirements for offering betting and online casino. The purpose of our review is to make the guidelines more clear and user-friendly.

The central part of this work is making the requirements more clear and to make better descriptions of e.g. how reporting of games should be done. The review will therefore entail few new or changed requirements.
In connection with the release of the new guidance, there is however one significant change. From January 1 2016, it will no longer be possible to report casino games per move and poker cash games per hand. Reporting of these games must be session based from this date.
The initial review of the guidelines regarding technical requirements prompts that some documents are removed from Gambling Licensing and Technical Requirements, where the technical requirements are described.
Today the following documents/zip-files are changed:
