Spillemyndigheden: Streamer fined DKK 10,000 for illegally distributing games
A streamer has accepted a fine of DKK 10,000 for using Twitch to distribute games to game providers without a license to offer games in Denmark.
Twitch is a platform where users share live content, such as gaming, unboxing and gambling.
The streamer has in several cases advertised game providers without a Danish license through his Twitch channels.
The Danish Gambling Authority discovered the violation in 2023 and reported the streamer to the police.
The police have assessed that the streamer has violated the law, and the streamer has been fined DKK 10,000, which was the amount recommended by the Danish Gambling Authority.
This is the second time that the Danish Gambling Authority has reported a streamer for distributing illegal games and has been successful in the case.
