Best Danish poker players
With a population of just 6 million people, Danish grinders have managed to turn Denmark into a poker superpower with almost $120M in profits in the live tournaments circuit and eight WSOP golden bracelets.
Peter Eastgate ($11M in profits, WSOP and PCA champion), Gus Hansen ($10,2M in profits, WSOPE, Aussie Millions, and WPT champion), Frederick Jensen ($4,7M in profits, EPT champion) are among the most popular Danish poker players. Hansen is also famous for playing nosebleed sessions and losing over 20 millions dollar online.
The results in online poker rooms are similar to live poker with almost $140M in profits; Simon Rønnow "Igorkarkarof" Pedersen, "x_zola25", "MortenVM," led the Danish poker army. Theo Jorgensen (PokerStars Team Pro) is also a TOP5 Danish poker player with over $3,6M in profits.
Danish legal poker background
Denmark decided to take a different path compared to other Scandinavian countries like Sweden as online poker can be considered legal for Danish players.
The strategy adopted by the Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden) is to request a license fee from online poker rooms and allow players to join global players pool, as they understood that creating a fenced market in a country with only 6 million inhabitants won't give good effects. The results of this strategy have been surprising as many poker rooms currently offer their services within the country, and Danish players have paid a good piece of money in taxes.
For living in a country member of the European Union, Danish players can use Skrill or Neteller (the most popular e-wallets that process gambling transactions) and request for debit cards that are issued to the SEPA area.
