Danish Gambling Authority Launches “Take it ROFUS” Campaign
The Danish Gambling Authority has launched a new campaign aimed at raising young people’s awareness of the ROFUS self-exclusion scheme.
More than 15,000 young men between the ages of 18 and 25 are currently registered with ROFUS (The Danish Gambling Authority’s Register of Voluntarily Excluded Players).
“For many, games are an entertainment product, but it is important that there is also room for people to take a break from the game – and ROFUS can be a good tool for many. We hope that our new campaign can help inform the target group – which here is primarily younger men – about this,” Anders Dorph, Director of the Danish Gambling Authority, said.
The Danish Gambling Authority commissioned a study into young men’s relationship with gambling and ROFUS, which shows that gambling plays a large role in young men’s communities, especially at their pre-party events.
An important insight from the interviews was that although gambling is a large part of young people’s social arenas, there is not much talk about the potential negative consequences of gambling.
“When gaming is a big part of the community, it can be vulnerable to speak out and stand out from the crowd. That’s why we hope that a new campaign can start a conversation among young people that it’s okay to skip the game and ‘get it ROFUS’, which is the campaign’s slogan,” Anders Dorph explained.
The “Take it ROFUS” campaign consists of a 60-second film that alternates between a pre-party and an interview situation with six young men. As the film progresses, a discrepancy is depicted between the young men’s statements and their actions. It shows that young people may not be as good at keeping the game under control and looking out for each other as they claim.
The campaign is targeted at young men between the ages of 18 and 24 who have just been given access to gambling for money. An important criterion for the campaign was that it should be designed on the young people’s terms and reflect situations that young people can recognize themselves in. Subsequent tests of the campaign show that it resonates with the target group to a great extent, especially due to its relatable situations and group dynamics, a young language and a pace that young people are familiar with, for example, from content on social media.
The film, produced by the agency Advice, will be shown in cinemas, on YouTube, Twitch and various streaming services, among other things.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission
ProphetX Applauds CFTC’s Proposed Rulemaking on Prediction Markets
ProphetX, America’s first sports-native prediction market, applauded the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) proposed rulemaking on event contracts, calling it a landmark step toward establishing clear, workable federal standards for the prediction market industry.
“ProphetX applauds CFTC Chairman Selig for his leadership in bringing regulatory certainty to America’s prediction market ecosystem. Today’s proposed rulemaking is a landmark first step toward establishing workable federal standards that encourage innovation and put consumer protection at the center of this emerging market,” said ProphetX Co-Founder and CEO Dean Sisun.
In April, ProphetX sent a letter to the CFTC in response to the Commission’s Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) on Prediction Markets. In the letter, ProphetX welcomed and supported the Commission’s efforts to establish a clear, durable federal regulatory framework for sports event contracts and the broader prediction markets industry. ProphetX urged the Commission to, for the first time, utilize its express statutory authority under Section 4(c) of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) to establish a conditions-based framework for the listing of sports event contracts, with Section 4(c) providing a durable and direct basis for federal preemption of conflicting state gaming laws.
In November 2025, ProphetX announced that it filed applications with the CFTC to register as a Designated Contract Market (DCM) and a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO). Upon approval, ProphetX would become the first regulated exchange and clearinghouse in the US built specifically for sports-based event contracts, which will serve as the foundation for an evolving event contracts platform.
