Horten Partner and legal expert on gaming and gambling Jesper Madsen has contributed with the chapter on Denmark for the publication The Gambling Law Review - 7th Edition.
"The publication is designed for practitioners across the world who want to find a way quickly to digest and understand the framework of gambling legislation in key jurisdictions," Jesper Madsen states.
In the publication Jesper Madsen tells that the Danish gambling legislation is based on a licence regime.
"Where an activity falls within the definition of gambling, and it requires participants to pay a stake to participate, it may only be offered with a Danish gambling licence. Activities that fall within the definition of gambling, but where participation is free, may be offered without a gambling licence. Such activities do, however, remain subject to the marketing provisions of the Danish gambling legislation and the rules on payment of gambling duty".
