GGPoker enters Danish market through Danske Spil partnership
Summary
GGPoker has struck a deal with Danske Licens Spil to bring its online poker platform into Denmark after receiving a supplier licence from the Danish Gambling Authority. The integration will run inside the existing Danske Spil Poker environment, linking Danish players to GGPoker’s international player pool and giving access to major events such as WSOP Online, the GGPoker World Festival and weekly GGMasters.
The partnership also introduces GGPoker’s proprietary game formats and features — Rush & Cash, All-In or Fold, Spin & Gold, PokerCraft and Smart HUD — under Danske Spil’s operation. Both operators emphasise combining Danske Spil’s local presence and player base with GGPoker’s global infrastructure and tournament access.
