In 2023, Danes spent DKK 10.3 billion on gambling. This is a slight decrease of 1.7% compared to the spending in 2022. Since 2018, the gambling spend has decreased every year, except from 2020 to 2021, when there was an increase.

Measured by gross gaming revenue (GGR), which is an expression of how much Danes lose on gambling, the largest gambling area in 2023 was once again the lotteries, with a total gambling spend of DKK 3446 million, followed by online casino, where the spending was DKK 3077 million. The third largest gambling category was betting, with a gambling spend of DKK 2180 million. The two smallest gambling areas in 2023 were gaming machines with a gambling spend of DKK 1176 million and land-based casinos of DKK 362 million.

Online casinos have experienced the greatest growth since the liberalisation of the gambling market in 2012. Thus, the area has grown by 192% measured in fixed prices. The gambling category that has had the second largest growth is betting, which has grown by 55% since 2012 measured in fixed prices. Gaming machines, land-based casinos and lotteries have all seen declines since 2012 in fixed prices.

ITL says uptake is being driven by retail and amusement events and discussions with regional police forces.

E-Service is increasing UK distribution of Innovative Technology’s (ITL) age estimation and access control products, with the companies pointing to growing demand for ITL’s MyCheckr device.

The partnership between ITL and E-Service dates back to 2004, with E-Service operating as ITL’s UK Trading Partner and Approved Service Centre. ITL said the current momentum is “mainly driven by an uptake of Innovative’s MyCheckr age estimation technology.”

Andy Bullock, Senior Business Development Manager for ITL, said, “E-Service are really flying the flag for our MyCheckr device representing the brand at various UK events. The technology has become a real talking point following our recent presence at the National Convenience Show (NCS) in Birmingham and The Amusement & Retail Entertainment (ARE) in Manchester, and earlier EAG shows in London. We have jointly attended a number of regional BACTA meetings recently introducing the capabilities of MyCheckr to the gaming sector to help with compliance and player protection and we are delighted with the feedback and potential opportunities that have arisen. Plus we are in talks with regional police forces about using MyCheckr to help local convenience stores avoid fines or potential closure for selling age-restricted products to minors.”

Bullock added, “Our age verification technology is simple to operate and install. MyCheckr can be easily placed at any 18+ entrance or our other age estimation device, ICU Lite, can be fully integrated into gaming or SCO machines using a simple API. To help operators manage access we have developed MyConnect which sends alerts to staff via an app to notify them of a potential underage play or self-excluded entry which can be remotely granted or denied.”

Paul Scott, Sales Director at E-Service, said, “It’s been a pleasure working with ITL over the past years. Our relationship has always been strong, and we’ve successfully distributed their leading note validation and recycling products including the NV9 Spectral, Spectral Payout and NV22 Spectral throughout the market for several years now. ITL’s expansion into age assurance technology represents a really exciting time for us as we are delighted to be part of this journey.”

Paysafe is live on Primer’s Primer for Partners program and is already processing transactions for merchants across North America, Europe and Australasia.

Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE) has integrated with Primer, connecting to the payment orchestration platform via Primer’s no-code Primer for Partners program to provide card payment processing for online merchants using Primer globally.

The companies said the integration allows merchants on Primer to route credit and debit card transactions to Paysafe as a payment service provider. Paysafe said it is already processing payments through Primer for merchants with a presence across North America, Europe and Australasia.

Paysafe said it tailored the integration to support international merchants across industries including iGaming, social gaming, financial trading, eCommerce and travel. Primer for Partners, which Primer launched in December 2025, allowed Paysafe’s tech team to manage the integration “without the need for any coding,” according to the companies.

Rob Gatto, Chief Revenue Officer at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Primer, whose Primer for Partners solution empowered Paysafe to develop a bespoke integration, streamlining the payment journey for Primer’s merchant partners and their customers. We look forward to strengthening our offering within the Primer infrastructure and growing our presence across the broader payment orchestration space.”

Gabriel Le Roux, CEO and Co-founder of Primer, commented: “Paysafe joining Primer for Partners is exactly what this solution was built for. The company came to us, built its own integration from the ground up, and Paysafe is already live and processing payments for our merchants. That’s the paradigm shift we set out to create. For our merchants, having Paysafe accessible through Primer means more choice, better coverage, and faster access to a payment provider that’s been optimizing card performance for decades.”

Paysafe said it plans to expand the integration over time, including adding local payment methods such as Skrill and Neteller, plus PaysafeCard and PaysafeCash.
