Special contribution to the horse racing sport

In connection to this, a special contribution of 8 percent of the bet must now be paid when betting on Danish horse races. The administration of the special contribution is handled by The Danish Gambling Authority
Unlike other gambling fees, where a fee is paid according to the gross gaming revenue, a special contribution of the player's stake on Danish horse races must be paid. Whether the bet is closed before time (cash out) or not, the special contribution must be paid.
Further down, you will find examples of how the special contribution is calculated.

Below are a number of examples of how the special contribution is calculated

Example 1

A player bets 200 DKK on Horse 1, who will participate in a race on Fyens Væddeløbsbane;
8% of 200 DKK, i.e. 16 DKK must be paid,  regardless of whether the player wins or not, regardless of the nationality of Horse 1 and the location of his stable and regardless of whether the player closes the bet before Horse 1 has run. However, if the race does not take place in Denmark, no special contribution must be paid.
If a Danish horserace is included in a combination bet with other bets, the special contribution of the players entire contribution must be paid.

Example 2

A player bets 200 DKK on Horse 1, who will participate in a race on Fyens Væddeløbsbane combined with OB beating Real Madrid;
8% of 200 DKK , i.e. 16 DKK, must be paid regardless of whether the horse race or football match takes place first.
Bets that combine more Danish horseraces are only subject to the special contribution once.

Example 3

A player bets 200 DKK on Horse 1 combined with another Horse 2 winning another run on Fyens Væddeløbsbane.
8% of 200 DKK, i.e. 16 DKK, must be paid. - The payment will not increase by the fact that there are more Danish horses in the bet.
If "packed bets" are played, such as all triples of five events, the special contribution is only paid for the combinations which include betting involving horse races on Danish racecourses.

Example 4

Horse 1, Horse 2, OB beats Real Madrid, and Denmark win the World Cup in football is played as all doubles of four events - for a total of 120 DKK (6 bets of 20 DKK).
8% of 100 DKK, i.e. 8 DKK, must be paid, as OB and Denmark are free of charge (and the horse combination is only liable once) - see example 3.
In the case of Bet Exchange, the special contribution is to be paid on both sides of the bet.

Example 5

On a betexchange a bet of 200 DKK is placed on Horse 1 at odds 3.
8% of 800 DKK, i.e. 64 DKK, must be paid, whether Horse 1 wins or not (since the other party in the bet will pay 600 DKK if Horse 1 wins).
