Total revenues for the quarter were up 30% year-on-year at DKK 975 million (USD 146M), continuing a consistent five year growth pattern in which sports betting continues to dominate, creating revenue up 33% y-o-y at DKK 585 million, DKK 370 million of that (around 63.5%) coming from internet sources.

On the online casino front the vertical again delivered a creditable performance, growing revenue 30% y-o-y to DKK 345 million in a sixth year running of growth.

 

The regulator predicts that revenue per Danish punter will rise 5% to around DKK 2,000 by the end of 2016
