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.

Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, two separate fines totaling $80,000:
A $40,000 fine for three instances of permitting underage individuals to access the gaming floor and play slot machines or table games;
A $40,000 fine for permitting the employment of five unlicensed individuals who had access to iGaming account holders’ personal identifying information through its betParx platform.

Wind Creek Bethlehem LLC received a $50,000 fine for failure to follow Know Your Customer (KYC) guidelines that resulted in fraudulent withdrawals from iGaming accounts of more than over $92,000; and,
Fantasy Contest Operator YFS Sub LLC, a subsidiary of Yahoo Fantasy Sports, a $50,000 fine for failure to notify and gain proper approval of the Board for a change of control of its license.
The Board also took actions to place 8 individuals on its various Involuntary Exclusion Lists. Placement on an Involuntary Exclusion List prohibits individuals from either gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the Board, or at a Video Gaming Terminal (VGT) location. These matters, presented by the Board’s Office of Chief Counsel and the OEC, set the number of individuals now on the Board’s various Involuntary Exclusion Lists to 1463.
The Gaming Control Board is scheduled to meet next at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 17, 2026 in the Board’s Public Hearing Room located on the second floor of the Strawberry Square Complex in Harrisburg.

The Swedish gaming giant confirms its entry into another regulated market, with its industry-leading portfolio of games set to launch in Alberta.
Play’n GO, one of the world’s leading casino entertainment providers, has been granted a licence to supply online gaming content in the Canadian province of Alberta, marking another milestone in the company’s expansion across regulated North American markets.
The licence, awarded by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis Commission (AGLC), allows the company to offer its portfolio of premium online casino titles to licensed operators in the province ahead of Alberta’s planned market launch later this year.
Alberta represents an important new regulated opportunity within Canada, complementing Play’n GO’s established presence in Ontario and Quebec, while reinforcing the company’s commitment to operating exclusively in regulated jurisdictions.
Magnus Olsson said: “Being granted a licence in Alberta is another important step in our North American growth journey and further strengthens our presence in Canada.
“Regulated markets are the foundation of our business, and Alberta represents an exciting opportunity to expand our footprint in a jurisdiction that shares our commitment to high standards, player protection and long-term sustainability.”
The Alberta licence forms part of Play’n GO’s broader strategy of expanding through regulated markets, working closely with licensed operators to deliver compliant, high-quality gaming content focused on innovation, responsibility, and long-term commercial value.
As part of its market entry preparations, the company has aligned its technology and game portfolio with Alberta’s regulatory standards and requirements, with an initial batch of titles already undergoing certification to ensure launch readiness.
