About the DGA licence
The Spillemyndigheden licence is Denmark’s national gambling licence, comparable in strictness to the UK Gambling Commission. It mandates ROFUS self-exclusion, deposit limits and tax-free winnings for Danish players.
For UK players it has no local effect: a casino serving Great Britain must hold a UKGC licence. A Danish licence is a sign of a well-regulated operator, but it does not authorise UK play.
