The implementation of the Danish regulations has been delayed though because the European Commission claims that some of the specifications within the proposed Danish regulations still do not fully comply with the EU policies. The Commission has issued a waiting period on the implementation of the regulations so that it can further develop a response to the regulations that will then go back to the Danes for revisions. The online casino gambling industry is chomping at the bit to enter the Danish market, yet the long delays this year means that it will be a good long wait before any permanent changes take place in the country.

Denmark is moving in the right direction and the submission of the new regulations is a testament to the country’s desire to adhere to EU policies regarding the online casinos, but the process cannot and should not be rushed. As is evidenced in the US market, once a set of regulations pass through into law it is much harder to make changes and alterations so the gambling industry is willing to wait long enough to really ensure that the new regulations will create a more open and free Danish online gambling market.

The European Gambling and Betting Association has opposed the first draft of regulations and the Commission has a hold on any implementation efforts for three months. Although the Danish legislators are attempting to introduce more effective and compliant online casino gambling legislation, there are quite a few issues that must first be addressed. The EGBA is a highly respected gambling authority in the European market and the organization has sent a detailed proposal of objections to the Danish legislators about these proposed regulations. The Commission certainly welcomes the feedback as well. At this point in European legislation, help is welcome in ensuring that countries implement fair legislation that fairly regulates online casinos from other EU member-states. The Commission is committed to ensuring that the draft legislation does not become law until the main points have been addressed and fixed.

The fact that the Danish online casino gambling regulations need so many revisions and changes means that there will certainly be a delay in the implementation of any new Danish law. The Commission and other major gambling bodies are currently detailing the issues when the Danish laws, at that point the legislation will go back to the Danish government for revisions and then again to the Commission for further consideration.
