The above results showed a year-over-year increase of 18.3% compared with February 2023 data.
An analysis of $587 million ($83.8 million) in total gambling spending reported in February showed year-over-year increases across all subcategories. The lowest spending was on consoles with a $100 million ($14.3 million) gross revenue (GGR).

Danish customers' spending on online casinos has increased dramatically. In February last year, iGaming operators reported $234 million ($33.4 million) in revenue for GGR, but this year, sales have soared to $278 million ($39.7 million).

While iGaming registered a solid increase in GGR, the largest revenue increase was observed for betting activity. Overall, February's GGR attributable to betting activity soared to DKK 178 million ($25.4 million), a stunning 32.55% increase over the same period last year. According to Spilleminden, "growth in betting may be explained by a lower RTP in February 2024 compared to February 2023."
