Danske Spil Goes Live with EveryMatrix Technology: A Landmark for Denmark

Denmark is setting new standards in the technical execution of online gambling. The state-owned gaming operator Danske Spil has completed the transition of its platform technology and is now officially partnering with EveryMatrix. This step marks the conclusion of an intense integration process that began in late 2025. For the Danish company, this represents a historic shift, as the previous system in place since the opening of the Danish market in 2012 has been fully replaced. The new infrastructure covers not only the classic casino offering but also includes the bingo sector.

The collaboration between Danske Spil and EveryMatrix is described as one of the most complex technical migrations in the provider's history. Numerous specialized teams worked for months to develop customized solutions for regulatory reporting, player authentication, and jackpot integration. A specific focus was placed on flexibility to meet the rigorous requirements of the Danish Gambling Authority, Spillemyndigheden. With the go-live in the summer of 2026, Danske Spil now has access to modern gamification tools intended to sustainably enhance the user experience.

Numbers and facts

EveryMatrix employs more than 1,500 people across 15 locations worldwide and serves over 300 customers. The contract with Danske Licens Spil, the subsidiary of the state-owned Danish operator, is considered the provider's most significant platform deal this year. It is particularly noteworthy that EveryMatrix became the first iGaming supplier to receive the World Lottery Association (WLA) Safer Gambling Certification in September 2023. This certification was a decisive factor for the partnership with a state-controlled entity like Danske Spil, which places high importance on social protection and responsibility.

“To earn the confidence of the Danske Licens Spil’s management team to deliver this project and replace their existing platform technology for the first time since Denmark regulated in 2012 is a huge endorsement.” - Ebbe Groes, Group CEO and Co-founder of EveryMatrix

Background

Danske Spil was founded in 1948 and is majority-owned by the Danish state. The company's mission is to provide entertaining and responsible gaming experiences that generate profits for the benefit of society. By modernizing its technology, the operator is responding to growing competitive pressure in the liberalized Danish market. The new platform allows Danske Spil to integrate games from a wide range of third-party providers more quickly and efficiently. In the old system landscape, this was often associated with significant technical effort.

Karsten Fogh Holanng, CEO of Danske Licens Spil, emphasized the importance of the new software's agility. The goal is to offer customers a more entertaining yet safer environment. The implementation includes specific responsible gaming workflows integrated directly into lobby systems and player backends. This ensures that warning signs of problematic gambling behavior can be detected and processed in real-time.

Why it matters for German players

Although this specific change applies to the Danish market, the implications for players in Germany should not be underestimated. EveryMatrix is active in the German market and provides technologies that comply with the strict requirements of the Interstate Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021). German players active in online casinos with a GGL license (Joint Gambling Authority of the States) benefit indirectly from such international partnerships. The technology behind the scenes ensures that rules such as the €1,000 monthly deposit limit, the €1 maximum stake per spin, and the connection to the central LUGAS monitoring system function smoothly.

When a major state operator like Danske Spil relies on EveryMatrix, it validates the security and stability of the software. German players can be certain at providers on the GGL whitelist that their data and funds are protected. Platforms using state-of-the-art technology often offer better self-limitation tools and more transparent information on winning probabilities. The trend is clearly moving away from insecure MGA or Curacao licenses toward highly regulated environments where state-verified software sets the standard.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

For German online casinos with a GGL license, the Danske Spil case demonstrates that migrating to modern B2B solutions is essential to remain competitive. A rigid system can hardly meet the complex player protection requirements mandated in Germany by the LUGAS system and the OASIS exclusion file. German operators will closely observe how efficiently EveryMatrix handles regulatory reporting in Denmark. Since EveryMatrix is already WLA-certified, the company meets requirements that go beyond mere technical functionality. This could lead to an increase in collaborations between established operators and specialized tech providers in Germany to implement strict German compliance mandates without sacrificing player comfort.
