Spillemyndigheden, the Danish gambling regulator, has dropped the hammer on a number of websites it says was operating illegally in the country. It has contacted Denmark’s Internet Service Providers (ISP), requesting that they block access to all of the sites for not obtaining the requisite licenses to provide their services in the country.

In total, 25 sites were targeted through the action, which has been supported by the Copenhagen City Court. 10 of the sites are iGaming sites and the other 15 are skin gambling sites. The director of the Spillemyndigheden, Birgitten Sand, explains, “We use our authority to block websites on an ongoing basis. We do this to protect the gaming providers who are authorized to offer games in Denmark, but also to protect the players.”

Sand continued, “Here we are focusing in particular on sites that offer skin betting, as they often target children and adolescents under the age of 18.”

The list of sites to be blocked include, among others, 1xBet, Equinox Dynamic’s Nordic Casino, Orientxpresscasino, La Fiesta Casino sites, Game Tech Group’s Ramses Casino and two other domains for the company’s Cashpot Casino site. In addition, Alpha Interactive Solutions’ Casino Napoli and Mr. James Casino, and Usoftgaming’s Ph.Casino site are also to be blacklisted.
