The European Commission today concluded that the different taxation regimes for online and land-based gambling operations in Denmark is compatible with European competition rules. According to the Commission, the law liberalising gambling in Denmark and applying lower taxes for online casinos (20 % on the GGR (GGR: gross gaming revenue : stakes minus winnings)) than for land-based casinos (75 % on the GGR) is acceptable because ”the positive effects of the liberalisation of the sector outweigh potential distortions of competition”.
