Danish licence for Manx-based firm

A Manx-based eGaming company is one of the first firms in the world to gain a licence to operate in Denmark.

The Danish Gambling Authority recently announced the first raft of licences had been handed out, as the country prepares to open its gaming market on January 1.

In total, 48 licences were given to 31 different companies, with seven Danish firms granted special licences aimed at helping the local industry.

Among those getting their licences was Manx-based PokerStars, trading as Reel Denmark Ltd.
