Betfair Ends Service for Danish Customers, Digi Mart USA News: Placing bets through Betfair will no longer be possible for people living in Denmark. The bookmaker will shut down for Danish customers on November 18.
The announcement was made Wednesday morning in an email to customers, according to a copy of the email seen by the Danish publication SE og HØR. The email urged customers to withdraw any cash balances from their accounts as soon as possible.
SE og HØR said it was seeking comment from Betfair’s international division. Betfair’s Danish customer service told the outlet that it could not respond to media inquiries but confirmed the shutdown in Denmark after 18 years.
In the message, Betfair said that, due to a business decision, it would no longer be able to offer its products to customers residing in Denmark from November 18, 2026. The company said it regretted any inconvenience or disappointment the change might cause.
Betfair was among the bookmakers that received a license in 2012, when the Danish betting market was liberalized. Danish players were able to place bets with the company before that licensing, but the service is now set to end entirely.
Customers are asked to log in, close all open bets and withdraw any funds before November 18. Bets that are still open and conclude after November 18 should be handled through customer service at that time.
However, the company said that any bets that are not settled before its gambling license expires will be voided.
The email did not say when the license expires. SE og HØR is trying to determine the exact date.
The Danish Gambling Authority, Spillemyndigheden, told the outlet that it could not provide that information.
