Casumo secures licence to expand into Danish market

Online gaming operator Casumo is to expand its service offering into Denmark after securing a five-year licence from the Danish Gambling Authority. Nordic-facing Casumo will focus on a mobile-first approach for its operations in the country and run a media campaign to promote its online casino services to Danish consumers. Oscar Simonsson, co-founder and CEO of Casumo, said securing the licence was an important milestone for the operator, and forms part of its ongoing strategy to enter and grow in regulated markets. “I’m confident that the Casumo brand will resonate well with the players in Denmark—those who want to experience a modern way of playing online casino,” Simonsson said. “We have a very strong and unique product offering, which includes our very own custom-designed live casino studio, as well as the casino rewards system that Casumo pioneered in the industry when we launched in 2012.” The Danish licence comes after Casumo also secured approval to launch in both the Italian and Swedish markets in recent months. However, earlier this month, Casumo suffered a blow in the Netherlands when it was fined €310,000 (£267,510/$347,470) for targeting players in the country, where online gaming is currently prohibited.
