From 1 January 2025, game suppliers must have a Danish Gambling Authority license to provide games to operators with a Danish license for betting and online casinos. Applications for these licenses will be accepted starting from 1 September 2024. The Danish Gambling Authority has made guidance material and new application forms available on their website.

Application Process and Required Documentation

On the “Game Suppliers” page under “For Businesses and Associations,” applicants can find detailed information about the application process. The available materials include:

• Guidance on Supplier Licence: This document provides comprehensive instructions on obtaining a licence.
• Application for Licence as a Game Supplier (Form 2-06): The main application form required to apply for the licence.
• Appendix A – Personal Statement (Form 2-02): This appendix requires personal details and declarations from the applicant.
• Appendix B-2 – Technical Conditions (Form 2-08): Outlines the technical requirements that must be met.
• Appendix C – Declaration from Representative (Form 2-04): A declaration form for representatives of the applying entity.

Certification Requirements

According to the Danish Gambling Authority’s certification program, Spillemyndigheden mandates that game suppliers’ games, platforms, business procedures, and systems be tested and inspected by an accredited testing company. This certification is necessary before any games can be supplied to licensed gambling operators.

A new version of the certification program is being developed to delineate the responsibilities of operators and game suppliers. This revised program is expected to be available for consultation by mid-July 2024 and will come into effect on 1 January 2025. Updated standard reports will also be released on this date.

Launch of the “Games Register”

In conjunction with introducing licenses for game suppliers, the Authority will launch a new portal for managing game certificates, known as the “Games Register.” This portal is set to be operational by 1 October 2024. Game supplier applicants will receive login details to upload their information and game certificates as part of the application process.

Transition Period and Compliance

Existing game certificates and certifications under the current program will remain valid, so there will be no need for re-certification if a game or game system has already been tested and inspected. However, starting on 1 July 2025, the new certification program will be mandatory. The Danish Gambling Authority recommends that game suppliers and operators adopt the updated program as soon as possible to ensure compliance.

The project, which is due to open on November 20, 2023, and received a formal go-ahead from the Nevada Gaming Commission earlier this week, will be one of the biggest developments in the Silver State and bolster the local job market as well as create more opportunities for holidaymakers to enjoy gambling and relaxation.

Hiring Going according to Plan at Durango Casino & Resort

The resort is said to be planning to employ 1,450 people and have an additional 400-500 tenant partners, putting the total new jobs number at 2,000, an important economic boon to the local economy. There have so far been 25,000 job applications sent to the Durango Casino & Resort.

The hiring process has so far been going well enough, as the property has already hired 55% of its needed workforce. A “tremendous number of people” will also be hired over the next four to six weeks, estimates Durango general manager David Horn.

The resort will also come with 28 suites and 209 hotel rooms. As to the gaming space, there will be 83,000 square feet of gaming floor, along with 63 table games, a high-limit gaming salon, and 2,300 slot machines.

The Durango will focus mostly on catering to local residents and visitors, but international visitors could also be on the menu. There is no clear strategy as of right now, other than the Durango will try to stand out to all tourists interested in visiting the Silver State.

The Nevada Gaming Commission hailed the fact that Durango has received 25,000 job applications and was now sifting through them to ensure that all candidates get a fair chance. This comes at a time when Red Rock Resort & Station Casinos and the Culinary Union have been at each other’s throats over a fight to unionize at the property.
