The Danish Gambling Authority is accepting new licence applications for igaming developers from September amid plans to “split up” the certification programme for suppliers and operators.
The regulator, Spillemyndigheden, said the application process will open on September 1, with suppliers required to have a licence by January 1 next year.
The watchdog added that a new version of its certification programme for betting and online casino will go to a consultation in mid-July before also coming into force at the start of next year.
“In the new version, the requirements of the current certification programme are split up, so that it is clear what the operator and the game supplier, respectively, are responsible for,” Spillemyndigheden said.
The regulator is to furthermore launch a new portal for managing game certificates, which is excepted to be operational on October 1 this year.
“Both game certificates and other certifications made according to the current version of the certification programme will continue to be valid,” it said.
“There is thus no need for further certifications if a game supplier's game or game system has already been tested and inspected.
From July 1, 2025, it is mandatory to use the new certification program, but it is recommended that game suppliers and game operators adopt the updated certification programme as soon as possible.”
