Gamble responsibly
One of the Danish Gambling Authority's most important tasks is to ensure that gambling in Denmark is conducted responsibly and that particularly vulnerable groups are protected against compulsive gambling (gambling addiction).
Look for the Danish Gambling Authority's label when you gamble
The Danish Gambling Authority supervises that gambling operators comply with the rules on responsible gambling. However, the Danish Gambling Authority can only supervise gambling operators who have a licence to provide gambling in Denmark. It is therefore important that you choose to gamble with an operator that advertises having a licence from the Danish Gambling Authority. Here's how to keep yourself safe.
Use StopSpillet
For the vast majority of Danes, gambling is associated with entertainment and fun,
but the latest study of compulsive gambling in Denmark shows that for approximately 29,500 Danes have developed a gambling addiction.
If you need to talk to someone about your gambling, you can contact StopSpillet, which is the Danish Gambling Authority's national helpline about compulsive gambling (gambling addiction).
At StopSpillet, professional counselors answer phone and chat inquiries from anyone experiencing problems with their own or others' gambling habits, including players, relatives and professionals.
The counselor can provide guidance on responsible gambling and gambling addiction and help you get an overview of your situation.

ROFUS
If you need a break from gambling, you can exclude yourself
yourself with the Danish Gambling Authority's Register of Self-Excluded Players (ROFUS).
You can exclude yourself:
- for 24 hours
- for 1, 3 or 6 months
- permanently
ROFUS includes all gambling operators with a licence to provide online gambling in Denmark, as well as all Danish land-based casinos. From October 1, 2023, ROFUS also includes gambling operators that offer physical betting in stores in Denmark.
By registering in ROFUS, you also register for the "No thanks to gambling advertising" scheme. This way you avoid receiving ads while you are registered with ROFUS.
