In the first two months after the introduction of the Player ID, the spending on the land-based betting market was lower compared to before the introduction of the Player ID. However, it is too early to conclude whether the decrease is due to the Player ID. 

All figures for November 2023 are available on the Danish Gambling Authority’s website. Here you will also find key figures for the Danish Gambling Authority’s register of self-excluded players (ROFUS) and StopSpillet, the Danish Gambling Authority’s helpline on compulsive gambling.
